I noticed that on this last page somehow the topic of Japan and WWII has entered the discussion.
I honestly have a hard time, sitting here safe in my home some 60+ years AFTER WWII- to question or to in anyway doubt what was done, to END WWII.
Yes it was horrific, yes it was horrible and people died. War is hell plain and simple. But my life is forever in debt to brave men and woman that sacrificed their lives for our future.
I am just amazed that what we had to do during WWII for our freedom being is brought up in a negative manner.
And somehow 9/11 is judgment for the bombing of Japan? I don't believe it!
I think some of his statements are over the top but we must remove the beam from our own eyes before trying to remove the mote out of the eyes of another.
The Republicans are terrified of facing Obama in a General Election...therefore they will stop at nothing to destroy his reputation before the eyes of the American people.
I think a preacher should be able to preach what they think. I'll tell you the SAME thing Wright told you...American will face the wrath of God for a host of sins and among them are her sins against entire people groups. When God judges nations he does so according to the full cup principle. One day America's cup will be full and the Lord will force her to drink his wrath.
According to the Sodom & Gomorrah Principle, God will spare an evil city for a handful of righteous people.

Jeanie, some people just want to have justifications for the actions of others who are wrong in what they say and do, but because others have done the same, then it's an excuse.

Obama missed a huge opportunity to reach out and connect with the broader evangelical, faith community. Many non-black, Bible believing Christians have questioned the orthodoxy of the Senator’s faith. Evangelicals are troubled by the senator’s position on abortion and traditional marriage.
Though brilliant on the surface, last week’s speech wrongly characterized the problem with his minister’s preaching as solely a problem of race. In my view this controversy is more a matter of personal honesty and faith. I agree with Ken Blackwell’s critique of liberation theology. He wrote the following statement last Tuesday, “Liberation Theology... is a belief system about political agendas, socialistic economic policy, and redistribution of wealth.”
The fact is that neither the Senator nor his pastor is qualified to solve this race question in our nation. At the risk of sounding impractical, let me remind everyone that racism is a spiritual problem. It is a matter of the heart, first of all. And because it is truly a spiritual problem, it will require the involvement of a unified, emotionally focused church to lead us toward racial reconciliation.
