Black church leaders: Gay marriage ‘not a civil rights issue’ [VIDEO]

[MCWAY]

Boy, is Obama's evolving backfiring on him or what (not that I expected otherwise).

These would be the black leaders that the mainstream media WON'T feature, when it comes to this topic. Dollars to donuts, nearly ALL of them were (and likely still are) Obama supporters.

Most religions hold on to hate longer than others. No big surprise here.

How long was the bible used to justify slavery and racism?

It's a sad thing to see but it is none too surprising.

Won't be hearing those folks speak on CNN.  But they better brace themselves, because their sincerely held religious beliefs may be deemed hate speech in the near future. 

[garebear]

Do you believe that "sincerely held religious beliefs" enjoy some special status when they discriminate against others?

If so, what is your argument against having Sharia Law in the US? Surely, some Muslims "sincerely believe" that it would improve things.

Actually, they do enjoy special status, because religious organizations are given exemptions from a number of anti-discrimination laws.

I remember a very heated discussion a few ago about gays being allowed to openly serve in the military.  I said it was inevitable an likely would happen in 20 years.  I was off 15 years.

Look for the same thing to happen here.  Eventually it will be legal, it's. Not a matter of if, it's a matter of how soon. And the gnashing of teeth will continue.

It's being deemed at hate speech NOW. That's why November can't get here fast enough. I have a feeling that, once Obama gets the boot along with several of his liberal buddies in the House and Senate, much of this mess will get reversed.

An African-American pastor could lose his church to foreclosure thanks to his support for same sex marriage. 

Rev. Oliver White is pastor for Grace Community United Church of Christ in St. Paul, Minnesota. In 2005, White took a stand for same sex marriage and voted for same-sex marriage at the United Church of Christ’s national synod, and churchgoers have been leaving his congregation in droves ever since. It is estimated that White has lost 3/4 of his flock over his stand on same-sex marriage.

The church needs about $200,000 to survive.

Rev. White writes:


 
It may be that we won’t win this battle in terms of the outlook we are striving for. However, if I lose my church standing up for equality, and one person’s mind was changed, then my lost will not be in vain.

I'm still waiting to hear T.D, Jakes and see if he'll stand up or bow down to Obama.

I'm on the fence on this, but to see the left go down in flames to me is priceless

If it had anything to do with same sex marriage then the church would have closed in 2005 when he made the stance.....since its 7 years later, obviously there is something else going on other than that you moron......

You do realize that you can be in the red for YEARS, before actually closing down shop. It's obvious the membership has dwindled steadily over the years. No doubt, some new members joined during that time. But, after a while, the losses mount up.

Besides, you also missed the fact that, "obviously", the PASTOR HIMSELF is acknowledging that his gay "marriage" stance is largely responsible for his church bleeding members.

Trust me. I've been in churches in which there has been friction between the pastor and the congregation. Most members don't just pick up and leave the second the pastor does something stupid. There are friendships and bonds with other church members, school affiliations, and other things to consider.

Black Church Leaders are morons and so is "da Camoonity".

You mean like the black church leader that baptized your beloved Obama, like the black church leaders that helped him get elected?

The black church leaders that basically TOLD THEIR CONGREGATION to vote for Obama (I've heard two do that, firsthand)?

Or, the first African-American Senate Chaplain, Barry Black, who is also an Obama supporter?

Do you go to a black church?

[MCWAY]

Do you go to a black church?

Off and on, YES!! Most of the black churches are too far from where I currently live. But, I grew up in a black church.

That, of course, is not the point. The point is that YOU have waved your pom-poms for Obama, who was put into office with a healthy assist from black preachers, who've groomed his political philosophy FROM a black preacher for over TWO DECADES.

If it makes you feel any better, I think the Black Churches are less harmful than the White Churches and they try to help their community out (while stealing a little now and then from the collection plate), whereas Whitey Churches are usually a moronic hoity toity display or backwoods bullshit.  All are bad but Black Churches seem to somewhat care about their own.

What you think is of little consequence. If you condone flagrant lying, you are in NO POSITION to accuse a church (regardless of the race of its congregation) of being "bad". It simply makes you look silly....or should I say, SILLIER!!

Dead wrong and woefully silly, as usual, Adonis.
