How many of you share the same politics with your pastor?

[Mercedes]

How many of us have pastors or spiritual leaders that we don’t actually agree with their beliefs in politics but we still seek their spiritual guidance? What does attending a church has to do with sharing the same political view with the pastor?And most importantly how sick and stupid is to call a person racist when he is half white himself and loved his white mother way better than his Black father?

That is a very good point.

Political views have no place in a church. It's called the separation of church and state.

This discussion never came up with my pastor and congregation.

If my Pastor spoke against African-American people, I would get up and walk out.

Obama is the embodiment of the multicultural and multi race America. He is white and black and obviously has white and black family.John McCain even has a pastor with controversial viewpoints. John Hagee is his name and he is anti-Catholic, anti-gay, anti-black, and sexistshttp://youtube.com/watch?v=4qNi7tPanUA

I'm not running for president.

My church doesn't argue politics because that could jeopardize it's tax exempt status.But at the same time, I don't think I would dedicate a book to my priest either.

Q:How many of us have pastors or spiritual leaders that we don’t actually agree with their beliefs in politics but we still seek their spiritual guidance? I would say not many. I wouldn't turn to Hitler for spiritual guidance. Hitler was a Christian after all, but I don't agree with his political beliefs.Q:And most importantly how sick and stupid is to call a person racist when he is half white himself and loved his white mother way better than his Black father?No. Obama's white mother raised him for 18+ years. Yet, Obama trots his black grandmother out for the media. He's never known her and needs an interpreter to talk to her.

yeah I agree with you, I mean that would be denying the white side of him which I do not think he would do. That shows how america blows things out of proportion
