Amen!

I know this may offend many here on FR but please do not take this personal. I feel, “war is politics by other means” and so is religion. That is why I claim to be a spiritual person not a religious person.

And what’s with all that SCREAMING???? OMG!! If my priest screamed once, I’d be outta there.....and the dancing and Hallelujahs to political things is disgusting.

I can sympathize with the writer. I too spent several years once moving here, looking for a church I was comfortable in and that met my expectations of the kind of church I grew up in.

I've found most have gone very liberal, less Bible and more everything else. Too many are against Israel and sympathetic to the Pals.

They have 1 1/2 hour sermons, the first half hour is on "giving", then on to everything but the teaching of Christ.

The music is no longer gospels but "modern" music to be read off a big screen with no real message or inspiration, which leaves me empty.

I always leave disappointed. I have walked out of some in the middle because it all felt so wrong.

I think Rev. Wright should be made to pull an Imus and apologize to all white people -- and all Americans. And I mean a real grovelly apology.

If he doesn't, his sermons should be broadcast 24/7 right through the Dem convention and through Nov. if he should be the nominee.

What was consistent in going from pulpit to pulpit was that ministers were more interested in political rhetoric, the endorsement of political candidates and the denouncing of some government or community proposal, than the Gospel. It was disheartening for many years knowing that ministers were not teaching or preaching the word of God, that their sermons were becoming political rallies.

I'm starting to understand what "walking around money" is all about, and why blacks vote 90+ percent for Democrats, and that it's the tip of the iceburg.

Hannity and Rush need to biew this video - this is the “O” man himself, addressing a meeting of ministers - thinly veiled warning about the “Quiet Riots” that are simmering under the surface?- like the “Quiet Riots” that were already simmering before the Rodney King Riots...

He needs to explain that one...

Too many ministers are motivated by politics, rather than Christianity.
