Obama Wants to Change America!

Once again more news about Obama’s pastors have come up in the media.

Rev. Michael Pfleger spoke at Obama’s church about Hillary Clinton, and how he thinks that Hillary thinks she is entitled to the nomination because she is white!

Back to race. All of Obama’s pastors bring up race constantly and how America is rampant with racism. And of course we all remember Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. and his views that America should be damned.

Obama Wants Change What a person believes says a lot about their character. Even if Obama does not belong to the Trinity United Church of Christ anymore, he did not go there for 20 years because he does not believe in this church. It is not like the church’s views drastically changed during the last 20 years until now.

Here is a little bit of what the Trinity United Church of Christ believes based on their website:

We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian… Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:

  1. A congregation committed to ADORATION.
  2. A congregation preaching SALVATION.
  3. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
  4. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
  5. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
  6. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
  7. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
  8. A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
  9. A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
  10. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

I know we should not care about what the President of the United States religion views are. However, shouldn’t we care a little, if the President of the United States wants to change up America so much, based partly on his religious beliefs. The fact that America should be damned or changed is something to think about.
