God Damn Reverend Wright

THURSDAY MAY 1 2008 6:00 AM

I am horrified by the words coming out of Reverend Wright’s mouth and the crazy things he believes. I tried to accept that he was misunderstood, or that he speaks for a culture that I may not understand, but this weekend he went to the National Press Club and explained his positions – to my utter dismay. How can any man believe such things? Especially a Reverend! It is astounding that any American would accept as true such outlandish ideas.

I cannot stand the idea that a future president would have ever gone to a church where the Reverend stood at the pulpit and uttered such insane phrases this...


The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color. The government lied.


It is horrifying that any man in this day and age would hold onto such a viewpoint – and even more horrifying that he would preach it to his flock. Church is a place where we tell the truth... such as, Jesus died on the cross, was then buried, rose from the dead and now lives at the right hand of his Father, making intercession for the believers forever. That is what church is for, not to spew the make believe ideas that have no basis in fact. Who would believe such insane nonsense?

When Wright first became part of the primary story, he was quoted saying, “God Damn America.” What kind of nut believes God would damn America? We are a good and decent nation. I do not believe God will damn us, at least not the true believers, like myself, who are lucky to be living in the End Time, when the son of God will return, the righteous will enter heaven, and sinners will be condemned to eternal hellfire. As an American, I am offended to hear Wright’s hate speech and don’t understand how someone can believe such crazy things.

The time has come to openly question Barack Obama’s beliefs. After all, he did attend this man’s church for 20 years. Does Obama believe, as Wright said this week, that…


Louis Farrakhan is one of the most important voices in the 20th and 21st century.


It is incredibly hateful to hold a reckless anti-Semite, like Farrakhan, in such high-esteem. Wright believes in Farrakhan and Farrakhan believes the Jews are evil. As a good American, I cannot disagree more. We faithful fully support Israel because we believe the 1948 creation of the nation marked the first event in the "countdown to Armageddon.” The Jews must reside in the land of Israel for The End Times to occur, which is why we back Israel. So, obviously a good American cannot support the hate speech of Mr. Farrakhan.

We really must begin to question whether or not Barack Obama has the same values as Mr. Wright. Does Obama also believe that on 9/11 our “chickens were coming home to roost?” Such wild fantasies are completely unfounded and are greatly at odds with any normal American, who believes that after the Rapture nonbelievers left behind on earth will endure seven years of unspeakable suffering called the Great Tribulation, which will culminate in the rise of the Antichrist and the final battle of Armageddon between God and Satan. And that upon winning that battle, Christ will send all unbelievers into the pits of hellfire, re-green the planet, and reign on earth in peace with His followers for a millennium. I’m sorry, Mr. Wright, Americans are good people.

I seriously question whether or not Wright can hold onto widespread American beliefs and dispel such racist and hateful thoughts at the same time. Who is this man? And why is he such a good friend of Obama? I do not adhere to the disturbing beliefs of Reverend Wright and I don’t think most Americans do either.

So, Reverend Wright, you may take your insane ranting and leave America forever. We don’t want your kind here, especially because Jesus is coming back any day now to kill the homosexuals.

I will be dead set honest...is it just me?...I really can't believe that f.t.r wrote this. The use of language, how sentences and paragraphs are structured..the decisive lack of profanity..no sarcastic wit....i really don't think this article was penned by the same person who has written every other article we have all read....for someone to talk about religious scripture and tribulation, when in earlier articles i have read such quotes as "...as likely as Jesus birthing from the anus..." Something here doesn't add up in my eyes.

I would love to respond to some of the negative insinuations about my character in this thread %u2013 particularly the one that implied I was "lying face down in my own vomit," which is totally not true %u2013 but unfortunately for you all I cannot, because apparently I have annoyed the staff.

And so, like the great thinker Galileo, who was persecuted by medieval overlords simply for trying to bring enlightenment, I leave you with a simple, yet defiant: E pur si muove!

The sad thing is, you were probably trying to write something in English there.

I'm guessing he's the guy who hated Muslims, then pretended to be a Muslim, now has a hateful anti-Muslim screen name.

Oh for crying out loud, I can't believe what a big deal people are making over this thing that was so obviously satire, as a few people on here have actually been able to detect.

And, no, I'm not some dude who was posing as a Muslim, I didn't even know such a person existed. The name is satire too. Sheesh, does no one on here have a sense of humor?

As far as who I was before, I was nobody any of you knew, so why worry about it. I kept to myself and almost never posted on the boards before. I've simply been getting into politial satire lately in my writing, figured I'd come back and toy around with it, and threw something up in this thread that I thought was pretty obvious, and people have gone apeshit.

That was all satire, by the way
