Obama Resigns From Trinity Church – From The Road — I guess he didn’t want to go this Sunday.
Barack Obama has formally resigned from his church, Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
It had to have been a painful decision, as Obama just cut the line to his religious anchor, but the church had become a weapon for his political enemies. The Trinity Church was the place Obama called his religious home. A place where he was married. Where his children were baptized. Where he was friends with the congregation and its minister, Jeremiah Wright.
#20 – Well of course the dogma remains the same. It cannot be proved otherwise regardless of the makeup of the congregation. Just like the tooth fairy, Easter bunny and Santa Claus. And the lemmings want to be told what to do in every aspect of their lives because they are too stupid to figure it out for themselves. And they will be hypocrites, child molesters, gamblers, adulterers, fornicators, blasphemers, liars,
fudge packershomosexuals, prostitutes and sports fans. But what the hell, they are forgiven.>>And the lemmings want to be told what to do in

It’s clear you’ve been going to the wrong church, Tomato Man.
No matter. God still loves you, brother.
I want God to love the 1.35 million homeless children in this country first. I want God to love the people suffering in China and Burma first. If he can’t love them at least relieve their suffering.
>>I want God to
Perhaps it’s God’s plan that YOU (and other like you) carry out whatever it is you want.
I realize it’s easy to treat God as a trained circus animal or magician, and ridicule Him when He fails to perform the trick you call for. That’s not the way it works though, and I suggest you do a little introspection and think about it.
In any case, I’m not getting sucked into a 24309850982243098-post thread about the pros and cons of religion.
I suggest you go find a nice juicy burger and spice it up a little.
#24 said “Perhaps it’s God’s plan that YOU (and other like you) carry out whatever it is you want.”
Could be – I have survived terminal cancer, plane crash, walked away from totaled cars without a scratch, surrounded by sharks and a myriad of other mishaps. I guess I was kept here for some reason, if nothing else just to be a warning to others.
#24–Mustard==how does god work?
Now if we could just find a way to get him to cut his ties to the corrupt Illinois political system where he cut his political teeth, and still has lots of ties. Sheesh, the thought of a bunch of those lowlifes getting an in at the Whitehouse is scarier than a third term of W.

Sounds like Obama tried to split the middle with the church, and keep his black voting base intact. Once he got the delegates he needed, he dropped the church for the general election. Basic Nixon strategy.
>>#24–Mustard==how does god work?
As you know, Mista Bobbolina, in mysterious ways.
‘Nuff said.
Who’s Barack gonna throw under the bus next?
Well, let’s see,he’s dissed the ‘middle’, ‘typical white people’, and Puerto Rico, maybe next he’ll diss blacks?
So Obama is about 10 years behind Oprah.
I thought he said he could no more walk away from Wright than he could disown his own grandmother, or walk away from the black community?
#32–Mike, that was then, this is now. Bet a few months ago he didn’t think his mentor and church would reveal itself as so anti-white?
You remember that Regun never left the democractic party?==it left him?
Same thing. All motion is relative to the observer. Thats why you see everything in political terms, because thats the way you roll.
Another point I see as having been completely missed is what Wright did to Obama.
After Obama called Wright a loony Grandma, Wright went on the warpath and did just about everything short of hiring a hit-man to keep Obama from getting the nomination.
Obama has plenty of reasons to dump his former church. Not being welcome is a good one for starters.
(What this also implies is that Obama hasn’t had any change of heart, just venue).
Like the article says “the church had become a weapon for his political enemies.”
What the article didn’t say was that one of Obama’s greatest political enemies was his own pastor.
Ah Yea–I thought I read somewhere that months ago Rev Wrights was profiled as a “life-long anti-washington unless you are helping the minorities type of guy” and that he even told Obama that if he became President he would be coming after him as well.
The couple just grew apart thats all. No treachery, no change of position. Just each staying true to themselves==until Wright moves into that 1.5 Million Dollar Home. Can’t begrudge him that, as Obama will do the same====as they all do.
So bobbo, you think for 20 years, this church was and pastor were all normal, at least when Obama was around, but just in the last few months it became obvious that they are racist?
The reality is it’s not just the pastor. In the video, the whole crowd is cheering. In his supposedly historic speech on race, Obama says that there are differences, and his pastor has said controversial things. He just wants us to believe he never heard this particular speech, and if he had he’d have left. Doesn’t square with the facts.
Sorry Bobbo, what you said doesn’t make any sense at all. Two people that just grew apart. Two people growing apart doesn’t entail both of them going on every major news channel and bashing the other.
There are many paths to God…some are more political than others.
I didn’t find his pastor to be very controversial at all, just rather blunt and to the point.
If we want crazy, just watch old Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and John Hagee speeches. According to them, god would nuke washington, liberals, atheists and lesbians toppled the towers on 9/11, and the catholic church is a big french whore.
Anything Rev. Wright has said pales in comparison to those protestant clowns.
