Wright, but I would have felt better had they not taken snippets of his sermons to show over and over again. I had to search online for the entire sermons and once I read it all, what he said wasn't nearly as damning. And it forced Obama to face it head on, which he did with a great deal of grace.<BR/><BR/>Doesn't the American public deserve the same from Palin?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-79194115619378357302008-09-17T16:57:00.000-07:002008-09-17T16:57:00.000-07:00I've fought so many battles with this kind of reli...I've fought so many battles with this kind of religious thinking that you'd think I would have figured it out before now that you cannot educate people that do not want to be educated. There are many people who hand their thinking to the minister when they join a church. It's much easier that way. Just swallow whole whatever is dished out for you. You don't have to do any thinking. The world is black and white. These people have no intellectual curoisity.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-37084109801626896342008-09-17T15:36:00.000-07:002008-09-17T15:36:00.000-07:00I too have an unconventional religious experience....I too have an unconventional religious experience. I am really a process theologian. I do not believe in a God that "interferes" or pulls strings for anyone. The God in which I believe does not coerce either but persuades us into the right way. I see evidence of God in nature as well.Margie's Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11206751037182686016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14192095.post-11508226600379312702008-09-17T14:50:00.000-07:002008-09-17T14:50:00.000-07:00I'm headed to the video clip right now. You and I ...I'm headed to the video clip right now. You and I feel the same way about religion -- as we seem to feel the same way about a number of things. I too, hope to get some more insightful glances by reading pieces from other countries. Thanks for the heads up on this one. Hope your week is going well.Sylvia Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18259032453252447339noreply@blogger.com
