God is JEWISH. G...Why do people think God is White? God is JEWISH. God is three persons, including the Son who was the Word made flesh, and the holy spirit. So if you're going to identify God with any ethnic background you need to check yourself and realize the only comparison is that of a jew 2000 years ago.

Even if it is a sincere letter, which I'm sure it is, I am 100% certain that they ran it by 8 different clergy folks from different faiths and denominations to make sure Sean Hannity can't pick at something and make him seem anti-this or anti-that.

That's not what I found revealing.<BR/><BR/>What I found interesting was that as an atheist, you read the prayer, and thought it was like a letter to Santa. You thought it was like a wishlist that Obama wanted God to fulfill. I've found that many atheists view Christians as "children" who are constantly looking to "God" to fulfill their hopes and desires instead of getting out and working on their own. Of course, this is completely erroneous, but it's still a commonly held view by many people who do not believe in God. <BR/><BR/>So, I thought your comment revealed that type of mindset. I could be wrong, and I'm sure you'll correct me if I am, but that's what I took from your comparision. It had nothing to do with calling you a racist.Big Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02510881583909431416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-73267564885187179542008-07-29T08:01:00.000-05:002008-07-29T08:01:00.000-05:00I don't care whether he wrote the note FOR the TV ...I don't care whether he wrote the note FOR the TV cameras. Something is seriously wrong in this country. <BR/>Something is rotting here when the debate is over whether or not he was sincere in the prayer. A seminary student - who is supposed to be learning how to bring people to GOD just stole a prayer.<BR/><BR/>That's low. Disgustingly low.

There's too much history of other politicians doing the same visit to the Wall, either for publicity purposes or to pay respect...or both.<BR/><BR/>I think that knowning it COULD happen, he would obviously refrain from an inflammatory prayer or an obviously public relations crafted one that would advance an agensa.<BR/><BR/>But there is still something that seems awfully sincere about the prayer, so I would rather err on the side of giving Obama credit for a spiritual move and not a PR-related one with that prayer. Look, I even gave Dubya the benefit of the doubt for the first couple years that he actually was trying to work with God driving his actions.<BR/>;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-9551465976422758462008-07-28T19:41:00.000-05:002008-07-28T19:41:00.000-05:00Big Man,I think you might have misread what I wrot...Big Man,<BR/><BR/>I think you might have misread what I wrote.<BR/><BR/>I did not compare God to Santa Claus, I compared the letter's style to a Santa Claus wish-list letter's style. Had Obama's letter been something that sounded like a shopping list, I would have compared its style to that of a shopping list.<BR/><BR/>Thusly, I did not compare God to Santa Claus at all, which would have indeed been insulting... and which could have also been taken to mean that I might think that God is WHITE, which I think is quite a stretch IMHO.<BR/><BR/>And even if you had been correct about my meaning-- it's not very nice of you to say that that this is "revealing" about me, to jump to that conclusion. What I _think_ you mean there is that you believe my view of God to be that of a white man, which of course means that I'm racist.<BR/><BR/>I think you owe me an apology :)<BR/><BR/>Yes I'm the same anon who's been haunting this blog, muahahahaha :) What's the fun of a blog if you're not challenged by readers, eh?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6803135128442396638.post-58061639575372065092008-07-28T19:18:00.000-05:002008-07-28T19:18:00.000-05:00Hello there,I believe that Obama HAD TO have known...Hello there,<BR/><BR/>I believe that Obama HAD TO have known that the media would be trailing every thing he did and the there was a POSSIBILITY that the note would be found...
