As a Presidential candidate Obama once said .'we are no longer a Christian nation; we are now a Nation of Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, . .'
There's nothing wrong with that. Yet his remarks went viral on the internet. Religious intolerant right-wing zealots went crazy. They simply could not believe that a Presidential candidate could say something so "outrageous". After all, some claimed, our forefathers fought to make this a Christian nation. There was even an email being circulated, telling Christians to come out in force and vote against Obama. The email claimed that God himself would keep Obama from becoming President.
Well, guess what?
What God is this anyway?
Is it the same God the rest of us know of? One doesn't even have to be a Christian to know that it is not. What is it about the religious right that they can't tolerate those of differing faiths? What happens inside of them that they are so outraged over a Presidential candidate stating the truth about this country?
We are not just a Christian nation.
Well it's another election cycle and the GOP is courting the religious right. With Huckabee out of the picture, that's to be expected I guess. We can look forward to yet another election where the GOP God will rear it's ugly head. The quest for Christian dominion over the US continues. Even though the head of the beast has been chopped off, it's evil influences is still a threat. And it's followers won't be happy until we eliminate pesky concepts like "separation of Church and State". They won't be happy regardless really. Inflicting their intolerance in all aspects of our society just gives them some sort of twisted pleasure.
Better enjoy this much needed reprieve from their insanity while we can.
that's not fire and brimstone...whites just don't like to hear those sorts of truths as it reminds them of their past.The most recent Fire & Brimstone type Christians in public discourse...
1. The lunatic who decided that to show the Muslims a lesson, or America, that he should burn the Koran.
2. The raving lunatic that said that the Rapture is coming, and has come, at this point.
3. The raving lunatics that go around American's funerals protesting saying "God hates fags" etc. so therefore is punishing America by killing people/soldiers/fags/destroying cities, etc.
These are all RWers.
I challenge anyone to produce a Fire and Brimstone type Christian that's on the left.
You should me a Fire and Brimstone type Christian and I'll show you a rabid RW Christian.
End of story.
Rev. Wright.
Nice try though.

Remember, those whites who you scorn for slavery and oppression were mostly democrats
"God damn America" is not fire and brimstone?
I propose that someone doesn't have a clue what fire and brimstone is.
Incidentally, most of Islam is what one could call "fire and brimstone". Sunni Man and I are oppositional in many ways....he is Muslim, I'm conservative Baptist. But I think we have the same concept of what God's/Allah's displeasure will bring...fire and brimstone.

It's called "prophetic" preaching.
Fire and brimstone would be using the bible
to justify depriving homosexuals equals right, cuz
it's an abomination and we'll all go to hell if we allow it. Or preaching about the "sanctity
of marriage" LOL, based on supposed "sinner" gays and lesbians that want to destroy
marriage, by getting married. Lets not forget about whining incessantly about prayers in schools, ten commandments in court rooms, Roe V, Wade, ya know, preventing abortions because it's a sin? That kind of stuff.

Rev. Wright is as far out on the fringe as number 1 and number 2 on your list.
[youtube]hwQWuQVE6sw[/youtube]
And let's not forget that the founder and Reverend of the Westboro Baptist church, Fred Phelps, is a lifelong Democrat who is on record as supporting both Al Gore and Bill Clinton.
Democratic Party
[Rev] Phelps has run in various Kansas Democratic Party primaries five times, but has never won. These included races for governor in 1990, 1994, and 1998, receiving about 15 percent of the vote in 1998. In the 1992 Democratic Party primary for U.S. Senate, Phelps received 31 percent of the vote. Phelps ran for mayor of Topeka in 1993and 1997.
To whites?
WTF?

Being on what you perceive as the fringe does not equate being Fire and Brimstone
Fire and brimstone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
fire and brimstone - definition of fire and brimstone by the Free Online Dictionary, Thesaurus and Encyclopedia.
Fire and Brimstone
Based on the definitions above I can see, however, how you (and others) can perceive Wright to be of such.
It's usually relegated to preachers who's habit is over preaching about eternal damnation as if there's no saving Grace
I guess to certain whites, Wright would be a Fire and Brimstone type guy.
Doesn't make it so though.
