15Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
16For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
17And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;
18Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
19But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;
20Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations. Living Water Church of Christ, Hardeeville SC

Barack's Pastor is a Que, supports abortion, and is a racist, but has a Ph.D. He also went to Libya with Calypso Louis. Jeremiah A. Wright is his name, talking down to people with lesser degrees is his game.

<---- was slightly confused by this thread. Is it about Obama's beliefs or the church's belief of inclusion?
Well now that the election has happened and Obama cleared up his stance on same sex marriage does it change anything? I don't understand why that issue was in the forefront anyway. There are so many more important things to worry about.
