RE: Obama's speech today

It was my ex-mother in law's baptism, if I didn’t attend I
would been
castrated...slowly.

Not don't get me wrong, I'm not an Atheist (not that there's
anything rong
with that), but I was raised in a very liberal, open church,
they welcomed
all to worship without question.

It was nice to be able to question and not be struck down
for it...

Yes, sadly there are churches like this and it is
unfortunate. The 
pulpit is not a place to talk politics, and if the
congregation allows 
this then they are just as much at fault as the pastor. I
guess I have 
been lucky in picking churches that only care about
spreading the Word. 
And that remark that he made was not right either. If you
don't believe 
in what they are doing, then why are you there? Why are you
supporting 
the Church?
