Right vrs Rights

Saw this interesting article about Obama's pastor.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7297943.stm

In all honesty, I believe the pastor is 100% correct. However, it is really stupid to think that everyone who listens to the pastor is "guilty" of agreeing with the pastor. I can't think of any one person who agrees with pastors all the time.

I'm laughing because the same is true of the great Pastor, Jesus, born in Bethlehem and raised in Nazareth. I believe he was 100% correct in his teaching also, yet I have never found anyone else in my travels through life who feel everything He said is perfectly true.

The sad thing about this particular article is not that Obama doesn't believe his pastor was telling the truth. The sad thing is Obama's prophecy that there will be people who use his Pastor's words against him. Obama has the right to disbelieve his pastor. That should be a given.

Seems like we shoulda learned with the current President. Just because someone claims to be a Christian does not make them one. They shall be known by their fruit. And I believe that to be perfectly true.
