I've been to one Southern Baptist service, my ex-mother in law's baptism, and it might as well have been an ultra right wing political rally.
The pastor ended the call for tithing with "Even if you don't believe in what we're doing, give" It was all I could do to not run out screaming.. The pastor's gonna be really surprised when he winds up on a perpetual spit over an open flame. -- Scott Stewart ColdFusion Developer SSTWebworks 4405 Oakshyre Way Raleigh, NC. 27616 (919) 874-6229 (home) (703) 220-2835 (cell) -----Original Message----- From: Bruce Sorge [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 18, 2008 10:18 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Obama's speech today I think his speech writers did a good job. It does not make me like the man any more or any less really. I just feel his speech writers spun it pretty well. In my years of attending Southern Baptist services in Texas and California, not once have my pastors interjected their personal political views into their sermons, and they never engaged in any kind of hate mongering the way that "Reverend" Wright did. All they ever did was preach the Word of God, which is what they are supposed to do. The way I see it, this is the beginning of a long line of his dirty laundry being aired. The man seems like a Boy Scout and to be honest, if a politician does not have some skeletons in the closet then there is something wrong. Everyone has secrets. At least Clinton and McCain have had years of this treatment by the press already, so now it is Obama's turn. Of course this is just my opinion.
