Posted By Inactive 6 months ago in ReligionFirst Unitarian Church of Honolulu
JERUSALEM – The Hawaii church where President Obama attended Sunday school as a boy has "always" been involved in political activism, the church's pastor told WND in an interview. -If you really want an eye opener of where Obama get's his skewed religious views, check out the website of the Church that trained him in religion. Not Christianity. Religion. http://www.uua.org/

Now I understand why Obama is calling America a Christian, Muslim, Buddist, Secular, etc. Nation. It's because the UUA 'church' taught him, as a child, some really weird and heretical stuff. Obama claims to be a Christian, However if one visits the following website; http://www.uua.org/ , one can get an understanding of where his belief system was partially formed. We can also attribute Islam and the belief systems of Rev. Jeramiah Wright to have had influences on Obama's belief and value system. Obama appears to be of a Heinz 57 type when it comes to beliefs and philsophies. Scary stuff.

I would say that the most dangerous cult in America is the Modern Christian Conservative Movement.
Reply
This movement, or rather ... this anti-Christian Cult ... resides mostly in Tennessee, NW Florida, Mississippi, Alabama, Kansas, Texas, and Oklahoma.
This cult preaches a hatred towards America.
Part of their services include bringing out images of Jesus Christ and collectively spitting on the image.
I'm not completely sure if ALL churches do this ... and I wouldn't want to indict ALL churches for this horrendous practice.
Suffice to say that many forgo the actual spitting on the image of Christ ... to preaching a religious creed that is DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
For instance - these people CLAIM to be Christian ... which is quite laughable ... and yet ... they seek to foment a hatred for our system of Government ... democracy.
They seek to promote all manner of un-Godly practices ... such as Torture.
These Christian Conservatives ... as they call themselves ... drag their children through the muck and dreck of the most vile teachings.
If you believe in God - and Jesus Christ the Saviour ... I urge you to denounce this story submission by Inactive ... given that he is a traitor not only to the values of America ... but to the Spirit of Jesus Christ.
Inactive ... our American Taliban.

Excuse me?

I AM a Christian.
It's the American Taliban I have issue with ... and their hatred for our President ... their lies ... and their desire to turn our nation into a Sharia-type society.
I also dislike Propeller member inactive's hatred for Universalist Unitarians.
Interesting that you didn't take issue with Propeller member inactive's spurious comments about them . . . for . . . as you know . . . Unitarians are CHRISTIANS.
.
Whereas ... Christian Conservatives ARE NOT ...given that they support Torture, Welfare for the Wealthy, Denying Children Health Care benefits, Arbitrary War, Lying to start arbitrary wars ... and every other Modern Republican perversion.

Technically Unitarians are not Christian. Having been raised as a Unitarian we believed that Christ was a prophet and not the son of God more than any of us. The Unitarians as I remember also don't believe in the Trinity. We were taught Christs teachings in Sunday school as well as respect for all other belief systems. I remember spending many Sundays learning about other religions and also visiting and sharing services in other church denominations. We were taught to be tolerant of all people. I realize that is probably pretty radical for Evangelical Christians who are taught to hate those with differing beliefs. Even though I am an Atheist I do still try and remember the things that I was taught in Sunday school all those years ago.

Yes, technically you are correct.

It is my personal contention that anyone who embraces the teachings, the values, the world view of Jesus Christ ... is ... essentially a Christian.
Following the tenets of Jesus Christ makes one a Christian.
That is also how I can identify inactive as being ANTI-Christian.

Amen Newenglandander. My Agnostic parents got married in a Unitarian Temple. I am a hardcore atheist though but sometimes I see what the local Unitarians are doing and I might show up one day but they are what I wish other religions were like. If I want spiritual help they will give it to me and not judge me. They sponsor good things like film screenings and good stuff.

What are you talking about--"spitting on the image of Christ"? No one does that in the church that I attend. I never heard of this happening in any church.
Reply
Exactly what sort of Christ do you believe in? You sound as though you make the same mistake so many liberal nominal Christians make: to assume that Christ was the Original Socialist Rebel Leader.
You've made another mistake, by the way: our system of government is not supposed to be a democracy at all, but a republic. The two are very different.
What do you mean by torture? Whom did you hear from, who authoritatively said that anyone had any of his limbs cut off?
And what sort of teachings do you object to? Abstinence from sexual intercourse until one is married, and then fidelity to one's spouse?
Oh, I get it: as Alan Jay Lerner famously said, your idea of "vile teachings" are the Seven Deadly Virtues--except for Charity, which you pervert to stand for confiscation of private wealth.-

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
The Modern Christian in the churches I describe renounce peace making efforts as "Appeasement" ... and ridicule those who talk to those they consider our enemies - for instance ... Christian Conservatives ridicule President Obama for saying he will talk to Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran.
I believe in the Jesus that said:
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after justice: for they shall have their fill.
The Modern Christian in the churches I describe renounce justice in favor of an aggressive Neo-Conservative Ideology of retribution .... .... .... and these issues supported by those who call themselves Christian Conservatives ... ... ... severe punitive measures ... including Torture ... extended prison terms for minor crimes ... criminalizing seniors for trying to get cheaper meds from Canada ... and of course ... capital punishment.
I believe in the Jesus that said:
As you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils. Freely you have received. Freely give.
The Modern Christians in the churches I describe renounce the message of Jesus ... calling these words ... SOCIALISM. Christian Conservatives see the 45 Million Americans without Health Insurance ... losing their homes to medical bills ... and when a Health Care Plan becomes a possible solution ... they scream in unison ... that's Socialized Medicine ... and fight against it.
That is no different than spitting on the image of Jesus Christ.

I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.
The Modern Christian in the churches I describe preach what's known as a "Health/Wealth" interpretation ... in which ... the more money you have ... the clearer the sign that you are 'blessed by God'. Perhaps you know of Joel Osteen ... he's fantastically popular among these Christian Conservatives for promoting this message.
In addition ... Christian Conservatives are wildly supportive of what's known to be the central tenet of the Neo-Conservative movement ... "Trickle-Down Economics".
This is where ... if you are wealthy ... you are given fantastic tax breaks ... tax breaks not afforded to the middle classes.
The idea is that ... if you give the rich ever more money ... they will deign to spend more ... and some of that money will 'trickle down' to the masses.
As a central tenet of the Neo-Conservative movement ... the Modern Republican philosophy ... this economic theory has not only been soundly disproven ..... but it it so clearly Morally Vacant and bass-ackwards ... that no rational person believes in it.
The only people who continue to believe this theory are some rich people (not all) . . . and the Christian Conservatives in the churches I describe .... who support this notion because they acknowledge it as a way to strangle the Federal Government for revenue.
Why do they want to starve the Federal Government for revenue??
Because they consider the Federal Government to be a SECULAR institution ... and therefore ... in conflict with their own values ... which ... as I have pointed out on occasion ... are quite Morally Vacant.

Gobby, EVERYTHING you are talking about here is\are the far fringes of conservative Christianity and are so far removed from the vast majority that we too consider them to not be true Christians. They are some of the folk spoken of in Matthew 7:23

This is such a problem with us today, the "unchurched" American knows so very little of what the Bible teaches that they haven't a clue to what genuine Christians believe & live. Then they hear stuff like this and think it is representative of the Christian Church as a whole and no wonder there is such a disconnect such hostility.-

Propeller members are quite aware that - by and large - those who portray themselves as Christian Conservatives - and then go on to denounce President Obama by posting scurrilous trash are recognized as NOT being Christian.

Christian Conservatives support Modern Republican efforts to promote Welfare for the Wealthy ... in schemes such as "Trickle Down Economics". ... ... ... and to ignore the crisis of the middle classes ... and the poor.

Christian Conservatives support our nation spending as much on War ... as the rest of the world COMBINED.
Is that something Jesus would support? ... NO.

You might say, who am I to say what Jesus would or would not support. Well ... all one has to do is read the Bible with an open heart.
If one does that, one can conclude that Jesus brought a message of Peace ... of Love ... of Acceptance ... ... ... NONE of which are reflected in the Modern Christian Conservative ... or in Propeller member inactive.
.
This is an open message to America's Modern Christian Conservatives ... America does not believe you carry a Christian Message ... especially as exhibited by inactive.
America considers Modern Christian Conservatives to carry a message of bigotry, irrational love for aggression, social injustice, intolerance - and hatred of your fellow man.

I'm sorry for painting with a bit too broad a brush here.

Best thing I've read in a Looooong time. and spot on. I grew up in the evangelical christian church and everything you say is absolutely correct. I ran as fast as I could when I moved away from home where my parents made me go to the 'rituals' 3 and 4 times a week. Their brainwashing didn't work on me thank god but I saw a lot of really nice people drink the koolaid. Sad and scary.

White Anglo-Saxion Protestant that believes anybody who says the word abortion should have their brain blown up, homosexuals need to undergo extensive drug treatments mixed with electroconvulsive therapy and inhumane tortures until they're forced straight again. Forced conversion of all non-Christians to the Christian faith; if one fails to do this they must point out in increasingly shrill voices how the person is going to goto hell. Hatred of anyone non-American. Hatred of anyone who's non-white. Hatred of anybody who's not the right 'kind' of white (no Irish, Scotts, Aussies, Germans, etc). Nobody who isn't the right 'kind' of Christian. Nobody who doesn't believe in the literal interpretation of the Bible word-for-word.

When someone identifies your Racist Hatred for all things Muslim as a benchmark identifier of your Moral Vacancy ... it DOESN'T mean that you will eliminate that Moral Vacancy if you LOVED all things Muslim.

You mean he DIDN'T sit in a church for 20 years with a racist preacher spouting anti-America rantings, calling the US KKK, saying, "Not God bless American, God DAMN America" right after America was attacked by "Religion of Peacers" on 911? Are you going to deny those clips, or, are you going to say Wright didn't really say that?

Are you trying to goad us to insult Gov. Palin?
Aren't you the guy who keeps giving us the christian perspective
on islam?
Without ever giving us the perspective of a christian?
This thread should be denounced as a slanderous,
incompetent lie, by anyone with ambition to be moral.
But you have no use for morality except to put it in a sock,
swing it around your head and bash a political opponent.
Which is wrong.
Also, you keep missing which is just sad.-

Mut: The Christian perspective? I used Pat Condell's perspective on Islam also, and, he's an atheist.
Crym: Without ever giving us the perspective of a christian?
Mut: The perspective of a Christian? What kind of Christian?
Crym: This thread should be denounced as a slanderous,

Crym: Which is wrong.
Mut: Bashing Dubbya was wrong?

Not bad.

You give a sentence after each of my
sentences, - sorta replying without actualy saying anything.
The article is about Obama attending a unitarian church
at age 11 , - the same denomination a sixties radical attended.
The idea is , - what?
Obama was radicalized in hawaii,
or Ayres put party instructions in the hymnal, who knows.
Since it has no real content one is free to let the imagination wander .
The article has no point except to deceive.
Anyone honest will say so.
Anyone else, - will change the subject fast .-

No you didn't;
Reply
and yet you did.
You came into the lie and started throwing
the rocks you prefer to throw at Obummer.
You did not address the lie of the thread,
or denounce the liars,
or complain that those who put this on Propeller
are muddying your just complaints against Obummer.
You did not say you believed the truthfulness of the article.
You acted like you didn't give a flip about the truth.

um, at least on my part of the thread anyway, you're the one who brought up Palin. not me. idiot.
Reply
and you mean its better to slam Obama. cause that's all this is.
him being "tied" to Ayers is any meaningful way is just a con fantasy. its an old and ridiculous notion. nothing more.
bottom line: its embarrassing for whomever brings it up.
at least Palin is still in the news, still in office, and still (slightly) relevant.

I left digg on my own. It's pretty much a circle-jerk made up of leftists who'd rather hurl names and insults than actually engage in some sort of discourse on the issues. I see a few of you are lurking here too. Whenever you're all ready to discuss the issues over just calling names and harassing the opposition, let me know. I'd enjoy some rational discussion. I won't hold my breath though.

Well you should feel right at home here as long as you keep posting this crapola. If you don't want to viewed as a mouth breathing, knuckle dragger stop posting their propaganda. This is one of the more ridiculous pieces yet. Very rare that an article gets this many drops. And quite deservedly so. -

Another tempest in a tea pot. I would regard this as less disturbing that Bush seniors membership in the Bohemian grove where people of real power gather in the wilderness for God knows what.

Ayers is irrelevant and so is reverend Wright. All of us, unless we live in a cave and are hermits, have probably associated with people of extreme views. Knowing people with extreme views and being influenced by or sharing them are two very different matters. Guilt by association is a well know logical fallacy and not a very formidable argument against ones character unless you can point to some specific action or point of view that this person shares in common that is generally regarded as negative. Working with Mr. Ayers to bring funding for schools is hardly in the same league as trying to blow stuff up or bring down the government. Many people were radical when they were young. To assume that Obama wants to destroy America because Wright has some inflammatory rhetoric about this country is inane. I guess since Falwell and Robertson said that 9/11 was God's punishment of America for tolerating liberals, gays, and feminists means that all on the Christian right believe this. I guess because Ronald Reagan left a wreath of flowers at Bittburg on the graves of the Waffen SS in Germany that the right forgives the Nazis. It would be the same logic applied. -

Inactive, so you left Digg because people called you names and didn't "debate" etc. You've been here on Prop just a little over a week and you've already managed to post an article that more members found offensive or inappropriate by an almost two to one margin. Perhaps you might start looking at yourself instead of others as being the problem. If that doesn't work why not save yourself some time and effort and go post on Stormfront or one of the many similar radical right blogs where you will be more readily accepted.

ALL religions and their sects fit the definition of the word cult, it's only fairly recently that the word cult has taken on a negative meaning. Of course it's obvious the poster of this meant it in the negative sense, but still it's silly to see someone call another a cult while belonging to one themselves.

Yep, going to a Universal Unity Church that cares about all people and is inclusive will certainly do it — you'll have your eyes opened to caring for all people and respecting them. These churches are often found near universities because intelligent people like them. And their ministers are kind people who are very good at listening to you and caring for your soul. Yep, that would be enough to orient any young person toward caring about the entire human family and we can certainly see now how Obama got his perspective of peace on earth.

The interpretation of Christianity by so-called Christian Conservatives states that caring for your fellow man ... or ... having a sense of social justice ... or ... having humanitarian feelings ... is a sign of weakness.
Reply
The Modern Christian Conservative has 'evolved' ... they no longer care about 'people' ... or Jesus Christ.
They ONLY care about making money ... as per Preacher Joel Osteen ... and not feeling guilty about it .... as well as making sure children DON'T get access to Health Care.
In fact, amongst themselves ... they measure their 'Christian Credentials' as an inverse proportion to how they feel about Abortion.
The MORE they rant on about hating abortion ... the LESS they care about LIVING children.
.
It's a scientific equation.

Someone was asking about Bush and most past Republican presidents and cabinet members attending the Bohemian Grove and they were wondering if it is really a cult. I use to live in Monte Rio, Ca and my backyard was on the edge of the woods that housed the Bohemian Grove. Every year protesters would stand at the entrance and the main problem everyone has with this "Club" is that this is a place that they come and vow under the owl totem to leave their work outside and just relax, no business there. But many back room deals are supposedly made there - important ones that affect all of us. So we can see that the Republicans have never been very good about transparency. Is it a cult? Well, yes if you consider a lodge where you do a spiritual group ceremony under a totem like pole, make a promise or vow, and then drink, eat, and play merrily (including sexual I assume from the number of prostitutes that people say have been seen going in there to the grove). Some say the Grove sounds Pagan. However, the Pagans I have known don't make spiritual promises that they sneak around and break. Pagans seem to take their spirituality far more serious than these Republicans at the Grove.

First he was a Muslim. Now he's a Unitarian Universalist. One thing for SURE, you definitely can't call him an Atheist. If there is one that is broad in religious beliefs, it's Obama. He's been around them all. So don't blame him, RESPECT him for knowing there is a Higher Being no matter what name you might call GOD.

This article says that Obama is linked to a 60's
ex-hippy radical, - because at age 11 in Hawaii, Obama went to a Unitarian Church.
It is a lie .
