I was just watching an interview on Fox News with a progressive commentator over the issue of Obama's religion. The progressive made the claim that Obama attended a Christian church for 20yrs, Trinity United Church of Christ,( Jeremiah Wright). We have all heard the rantings of this madman. It is Black Liberation Theology.
This is some of what critics say about it;
Anthony Bradley of the Christian Post interprets that the language of "economic parity" and references to "mal-distribution" as nothing more than channeling the views of Karl Marx. He believes James Cone and Cornel West have worked to incorporate Marxist thought into the black church, forming an ethical framework predicated on a system of oppressor class versus a victim much like Marxism.[16]
Stanley Kurtz of the National Review claims that "A scarcely concealed, Marxist-inspired indictment of American capitalism pervades contemporary 'black-liberation theology'...The black intellectual's goal, says Cone, is to "aid in the destruction of America as he knows it." According to him such destruction requires both black anger and white guilt. He claimed the black-power theologian's goal is to tell the story of American oppression so powerfully and precisely that white men will "tremble, curse, and go mad, because they will be drenched with the filth of their evil."
Trinity United Church of Christ, Chicago is the church most frequently cited by press accounts, and by Cone as the best example of a church formally founded on the vision of Black liberation of theology.[17] This theology has recently become a matter of national debate as intense condemnation by the U.S. mainstream media of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, the most visible exponent of the theology[18], forced Senator Barack Obama to distance himself from his former pastor.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_liberation_theologyNow Obama turns to Jim Wallis for, "spiritual guidance";
Who is Jim Wallis? According to The New York Times, Wallis “leans left on some issues” but overall is a “centrist, social justice” kind of guy. But a closer look at Wallis’s background reveals him to be nearly as radical, if better at disguising the fact, as Jeremiah Wright.

It is straight up nut case Marxism and there is nothing Biblical about it!!
