damali ayo • gazing through big black eyes - Church of Truth

this is great

damali, I am really, really glad to have you as a friend. Your feelings on this situation mirror mine exactly. I could not have said it any better.

I am a Christian, and I LOVE ministers like Rev. Pfleger and Rev. Wright! They're not terribly unlike my own pastor (just a bit more flamboyant, though), in that they speak the cold, hard, difficult truths so many people don't want to discuss, particularly in light of the teachings of Jesus. My pastor spoke on this issue briefly today, and he said he was glad this has all happened, because this sort of thing needs to be discussed, even if the very people who should be discussing it are loathe to do so.

Of course Jesus would not be surprised at this. Remember, the very people He came to liberate turned around and called for His execution because He made controversial statements and claims (sound familiar?).

I understand Obama's political reasons for leaving his church, but I can't respect him as a man for it. In fact, I'm even more likely to vote for Cynthia McKinney in November if she's on the ballot (and I hope she will be).

You say you're not a Christian yet you assume you would know what Christ would think?

You are a racist, a feminist, you think you deserve money from the white man and the government for slavery yet tout self-sufficiency . . . I don't understand mental infants like you Damali.

Have you ever taken a close look at the people that you attract and support you? They are co-dependent just like you.

The radical liberals that you attract all want something from others and simply jump on your wagon and then you spoon feed them your idiotic arguments. Obama attended "his" church for 20 years and you just waive it off and dismiss the racial frenzy of it's congregate.

Again, if a conservative or republican were to say something anything close to what Wright and Pfleger said, you would tar, feather and noose them up . . . and NEVER forgive.

Don't assume you or any of your readers know what Christ would say or do . . . He didn't Sacrifice His life because of saying controversial things like the last commenter wrote . . . He died to save us from our wretched humanness (sin). Christ is the Savior of the world, not your or anyone's political argument maker. The pulpit isn't a political forum.

This Trinity Church is just a political podium . . . the congregation, Obama and you should be ashamed for supporting this church and it's view . . . I figured you of all people would understand, being a victim of slavery and racists as you have . . . huh!

Christ's statements and claims were the truth. It was our blinding sin that murdered Christ, not a statement or claim. Christ died blameless.

What Damali, Obama, Jeremiah Wright, Pfleger and the people I mentioned in my response are nursing on the oppressed minds of needy people. People who WON'T strive to better their situation through the opportunities that freedom provides . . . and who rather create new organizations that only create more of the same type of needy person is co-dependent.

Damali, Wright, Obama, Pfleger all feel people like me own them reparations, or support, or should pay for something not even one of my descendants were responsible for. Co-dependent people rely on the pandering of others. They don't want to listen to truth. They don't want to do anything on their own. They feel others own them something . . . no different than what Pfleger said about Hillary Clinton.

That blindness to the truth is what weakens my country that invented freedom . . . Damali and her followers only wantto take from this country . . . they don't want to give to freedom.

What more do you need to understand my comment on co-dependency?

helping close-minded, underexposed and often hateful people of this country understand, respect and learn about each other is my work. Those who do this are among some of the most kind people you will ever have the pleasure of knowing, or in your case, dismissing without knowing. Our work is one of the most generous things anyone from an historically mis-treated group in this country can do. this is not taking, it is the ultimate in giving.

and yes, Jesus would agree.
