I’m almost ashamed to dedicate my time or words to this subject. Yet, ignorance and intolerance continue to force me to do so.
I’m sure you’ve heard about the Pastor who posted the message: “Barack Obama is a Muslim, This is a sin against the Lord”. Check out the video below:
While I’m certain that all Christians don’t mirror the feelings of this pastor, I bet there are those that do. Even if you set aside the lunacy of the sentiment that having a different belief is a sin, I wonder why this pastor insists that President Elect Obama is a Muslim. One of the sore spots of his campaign involved his long term relationship with and attendance of a certain Christian pastor’s church. Why the continued assertion?I suspect perhaps this pastor is simply misguided, so blind by his own interpretation of the Bible, that he can’t see what’s in his heart. I believe that there, in each and every human being is the knowledge that we are all connected (like it or not), that we have (or should have) the powerful ability to think and reason - despite what is written, and that if you do believe in a higher power (and it is your right not to), that such power would not encourage this type of separatism.
