Obama's Church.. United Church of Christ

“We are a congregation which is unashamedly black and unapologetically Christian,” says the Trinity United Church of Christ’s website in Chicago. “We are an African people and remain true to our native land, the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.”

Seems to me he is saying their loyalty and allegiance is to some unknown country in Africa, not the United States of America.

The church has a “non-negotiable commitment to Africa,” according to its website, and its pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. subscribes to what is called the Black Value System.

A pledge of allegiance to “all black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System.”

In sermons and interviews, Dr. Wright has equated Zionism with racism and Israel with South Africa under its previous policy of apartheid.

“In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01,” Wright wrote in a church-affiliated magazine. “White America and the western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared’ as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.”

Is he saying here there is no difference in Arabs and the blacks of Africa? They sure don't look alike to me. What I see are blacks adopting the Arabs religion and calling it Christianity instead of Islam.

As for Israel, “The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for over 40 years now,” Wright has said. “Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community and wake up Americans concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism.”

Obama says he found religion and Jesus Christ through Wright, whom he met in the mid-1980s. He has been attending Wright’s church regularly since 1988.

So, what was Obama's religion before he found Mr. Wright? Muslim? Atheist? Couldn't be Christian if he just found Jesus in 1991 when he officially joined the church.
