Easter: Blasphemy in action

I am not a particularly religious person, but I am deeply offended by this!

The new rev. at Obama's church had the gall to compare the questioning of Rev. Wright's racist, anti-American, lying hateful sermons, to Jesus Christ and what He faced.

Obama explained away Wright's hateful rants by comparing him to an "uncle" who said "bad things", he was getting ready to retire, blah, blah, blah.
How the hell is he going to explain Moss? Moss is yet another "bad uncle"?

Or, could it be, we are all correct about the actual mission of this hateful, racist, anti-semitic, anti-american church?

IN EASTER SERMON, TRINITY UNITED PASTOR COMPARES REV. WRIGHT TO JESUS

The new pastor at Barack Obama’s church used his first Easter sermon on Sunday to compare controversial Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. to Jesus’ death at the hands of the Romans.

Sunday’s sunrise sermon, delivered by Rev. Otis Moss III, was called “How to Handle a Public Lynching” and focused primarily on the media firestorm that has focused international attention on this Chicago ministry, which is the church attended by the Democratic presidential candidate.

Moss did not directly mention his spiritual mentor by name, but told the congregation at Trinity United Church of Christ that Wright, who has delivered sermons in which he likened the U.S. to the Ku Klux Klan and saying it is damned for its state-sponsored terrorism, is facing the same challenges Jesus did.

“No one should start a ministry with lynching, no one should end their ministry with lynching. The lynching was national news. The RNN, the Roman News Network, was reporting it and NPR, National Publican Radio had it on the radio. The Jerusalem Post and the Palestine Times all wanted exclusives, they searched out the young ministers, showed up unannounced at their houses, tried to talk with their families, called up their friends, wanted to get a quote on how do you feel about the lynching?”
........
Moss issued several pleas to congregants to donate to what he called the “Resurrection Fund,” stressing that during this time of battle, money is needed to defend the church. He offered no additional specifics about the fund, telling churchgoers he didn’t want to get into it because Trinity is streaming the service live on the Web and the services are available for purchase on DVD.


He concluded with another analogy, saying, “In order to crucify him you’ve got to lift him up … he had more visibility on the cross than he did during his entire ministry.”

Blasphemy: the act of claiming the attributes of deity

This is supposed to be a Christian minister? I'm atheist and I find those remarks disgusting and insulting. What must the real Christians think? If anyone believes Obamasama's excuses after this, there is no reaching them with appeals to reason or common sense.

Barack Obama is a pretty boy who wants to hang out with the tough boys. He'll never quit his church, because the tough boys like him, and he is simply too excited at the attention.

Why does he remain a member? Your guess is as good as mine.

Does he think the support and votes he's receiving outways the negative press? No doubt he is afraid of offending these people.

But, we all have been faced with making a choice between offending or not. I have no doubt he believes what this church stands for and preaches. Considering how outlandish and offensive this church is, he would not want it tied to him, if he didn't.

No matter, he has made a huge and possibly detrimental mistake in his assumptions.

You folks require some serious therapy. You insist on assigning Judeo-Christian, and basic human qualities to your politicians. My neighbour does the same with her collection of Madagascar hissing cockroaches. It's pathetic really!

Attempts to humanise Maverick McCain (He christened himself that name...too much TV..I knew Bart Maverick...he was a friend of the family, and my Mayor), Hildog "Co-President" Klinton, and B.Hussein.O' is like trying to Americanise madagascar hissing cockroaches! A monumental waste of time!

Think of the Congress. Make certain that we seize control of the most important part of our Government. A Castrated Hildog can do little harm.

War!

Mike, you're 5 SD's to the right of THIS CROWD, I think.

This is one instance where it may take reality to exert itself before anyone wakes up.

It may really take Obama to exert himself as president to scare the middle ground, and it may take other powers, and other entities to act in a fashion highly detrimental to the USA before that middle ground can distinguish between the feelings of hope, and the cynical reality of others.

That's just the way it is. It will ALWAYS be this way for democracies. The same forces prevent our going to war with other democracies.

No free lunch
