Question: Do you feel Obama has gotten the message that Warren MIGHT have been to far a reach?

From him and his campaigns reaction I believe at LEAST we are being heard. I'm a proud Christian and HATE my God being used as an excuse to be bigoted against ANYONE, that's not the love of God. On the other hand I do expect Obama to at least hear us and I think that might have happened.

I pray that he learns a lot from this and maybe punches Rich Warren in dah face while he's speakin or somethin.......................

...K, God forgive me but it felt good.

Thx

3. I do think the uproar forced him to come out and verbally distance himself...

from Warren. To that extent, it's a good example of the value of making noise. The right wing does this very well. It's one of the strategies we should adopt from them. Always move the goal posts!

6. Maybe if your god should have been more clear on his positions on bigotry in his book.

Just a thought. All he had to do was use more lucid prose that isn't easily open to interpretation.

7. He has made it VERY clear, the story of the Good Samaritan couldn't be more clear but people

...take what they want out of the bible, use it to their advantage and tell the knuckle draggers not to read it for themselves.

8. The fact that people can do that indicates there's a lack of clarity on the issue.

You have one line that can be interpreted in different ways and a parable later that can be seen as overriding the whole issue. That's pretty unclear.
