A Church Needs To Lose It's Tax Exempt Status
Star TribuneJONESVILLE, S.C. - A South Carolina pastor says he wasn't trying to be political when he posted a sign in front of his church linking Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
Pastor Roger Byrd said he just wanted to make people think when he put up a sign reading "Obama, Osama — humm, are they brothers" in front of the Jonesville Church of God on Thursday.
The pastor is lying. Wasn't trying to be political my ass. He put up a damn sign about a person running for President. That's political.

I think this pastor got his information from Fox News...anyone been watching how they distort and attempt to do the same as that retarded sign posted by those so called Christians? Forget Bin Laden Bush let him go, we all know that the ones we have to really worry about are this evangelical cults they are the most dangerous people on Earth..........
I can't believe that a pastor, one who studies the teachings of Jesus Christ, would not give someone the benefit of the doubt when they say they're not something they're accused of. This pastor, simply put, is an extreme right wing neocon from the Jim Crow era. Whether it Rev. Wright or this guy, churches need to stay on message with the Word--not politics, if that's what this is.
Well lets exam some facts, instead of your hate filled rants:
Obama readily admits to being taught for two years at a Muslim school in Jakarta.
For two more years, he was taught in a public school in Jakarta, listing his religion as Islam.
His mother was a self procalimed atheist, taught by a self proclaimed communist in Washington (state).
Her parents belonged to a Univeral Unitarian church, which accepts atheists, in Bellvue, commonly referred to as the "little RED church" on the hill.
After becoming pregnant with Obama, she married a muslim man from Kenya, whose father was greatly disappointed, becasue he didnt want his family's black blood being sullied by a white womans blood.
After the Kenyan left for Harvard, and whose mother is still a devout Muslim today, Obama's mother remarried another Indoesian muslim.
Obama didnt go to a Christian church until licing in south Chicago, and some would argue it was for political expediency. This church granted a muslim, Farrakhan, acheivment awards; he considers the Jewish religion a "gutter religion".
Obama's preacher, mentor, advisor and friend, Jermiah Wright was a muslim and black nationalist.
Now, if a little church in South carolina wants to question his faith, given these and countless other facts, I don't have a problem with that.
Give 'ol Roger Byrd a call!!

Well Gator,
Bush was a coke snorting drunk. But he changed and the public ellected him. For the record I don't have a problem with somone questioning Obama's faith. However, when a church gets political, they should loose their tax exempt status. PERIOD.
I could care less what religion someone is. I would prefer someone that didn't have magical thoughts myself. We have enough crazies in the government.
I just want to know one thing....How is this sign racist???...He was just asking a question... He did not say one thing about Africa-Americans...As a matter of fact, There are African-Americans that do go to the Jonesville Church Of God...They are not members, but do go from time to time and are welcomed with open arms...The members from the church across the road I think are the ones that are racist if that's what they get from that sign...I sure don't think that it's very Christian like for them to be all up in a Preachers face hollering about this either...I watched this on the news and was horrified at the way they was acting about this....I knew everyone of them and was shocked at how they was acting...I think they need to just grow up and start acting as Christians (as they say they are) and not acting so silly about this...I can't judge them.....Only the Lord can do that... I think that all the people causing trouble for this small country church will be punished...I pray for that anyway...People need to study the facts about Obama before they vote though....
This is just another case of "just don't get it!" The sign has NOTHING TO DO WITH RACE or POLITICS. It has everything to do with RELIGION. The church is trying to get people in America to get their heads out of the sand and recognize a religious problem. I thought that was what churches were supposed to deal with.
Radical Islamists have declared war on America and the rest of the "Infidels" in the western part of this world. They have very plainly stated their intention is to kill us. They teach it in their schools where Obama attended. Obama refuses to renounce Farrakan and Wright who espouse the same hatred of America. Obama's uncle is an active member of a Islamic tribe in Africa.
Doesn't any of these facts make you stop and think mmmmmm. That is all that the good pastor of the church was trying to get you to do. Sure it was risky and drastic, but it got your attention. Now that you have been made aware of the problem, what are you going to do about it. Remember Nero, he fiddled while Rome burned. WAKE UP AMERICA BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Say, is there really a separation of church and state clause in the costitution. is it by chance that congress shall make no law concerning the establishment of religion, is in there? where does it say that we cannot question politicians?
that we cannot question politics. The Church is to be the moral compass of America, was always meant to be. Without the church as a moral compass, where would we be, when the Congress started passing amendments that dealt with this issue it was out of their tweaked conscience, and spanked behind. Congress is violating the very laws they want to use to quiet the church. I believe that Congress and all politicians, judges and bankers are in cahoots to bring America down to a place where the greatest politician that has ever lived will step on stage and give everything up and our liberty and freedom will be gone. The antichrist is coming and you had better understand that it is a fact. Bush 41, bush 43 and slick willie have nothing on whomever is coming down the pike, I have no idea who it will be, but they will be subtler and slicker than willie. they will take away more freedoms than 43 ever did. count on it. don't come crying to the church when all this comes down. I wont be here any more, and neither will the church!
Who, besides some sister-raping knuckle-dragger named IFB Preacher says that the Church is the "moral compass of America, [and] was always meant to be"?
That's is just a plain flat-out lie. So that's one commandment IFB Preacher declines to obey. Please stop looking out for my welfare, IFB Preacher. Go start your own country; clearly America isn't the place for your sort of theocratic ranting.
