A Kansas preacher is displaying this sign outside his church.
Good stuff eh? WICHITA, KAN. -- A Wichita, Kansas preacher says he will not remove a message on his church sign that says President-Elect Barack Obama is a Muslim. The sign is staying up despite the fact that Obama is a Christian. The sign at Spirit One Christian Center reads, "America we have a Muslim president. This is sin against the Lord." Obama supporters reportedly got into a shouting match with parishioners outside the church on Sunday. The sign can be seen at the website http://www.myfoxkc.com/myfox/pages/News/Politics/Detail;jsessionid=4A6EFE9BD2C467ADC2C1D1AF47814DD6?contentId=7882247&version=2&locale=EN-US&layoutCode=TSTY&pageId=3.14.1&sflg=1 |

Ok then.

More evidence that religion makes you crazy.

Is this not the same thing as a fatwah?
Is anyone paying attention to the fact that the only difference between this preacher and a terrorist is that his life is good enough that he isn't hopeless enough to want to die for a shot at martyrdom? |

I didn't say it was different.
I don't care for religious extremism no matter the religion. |

Some days I feel so proud

Jezzow..Religion????? OK, I will say this....The protesters are they wrong? Yes!!! Their right to NO!!! OK..I have put much thought into this the last months. I said what Rev Wright was wrong! I will say the Church's (PLURAL) should be able to do what it wants on their property>>>I really want to say tax free property to do what they want as long as they are not breaking the law. The protesters can protest as long as its done within the rights of local jurisdiction. That is JMO

He believes that this is a christian country and electing any non-christian is a sin. |

More evidence that religion makes you crazy. I don't think it has to. Maybe if you take it (and yourself) too seriously! |

I agree he can have his own opinion. But..he is teaching lies to others as an authority figure. That is wrong. Also, this is a sign that anybody driving by can see. That is now advertising lies to the public. How do I explain that to my child if we drove past it? |

I agree as I posted. That really just change in me recently trying to understand it all. But I still have problems when that church as a whole is donating to any political cause at state level...or any level.. As with not for profit or business as a whole. JMO

to the op...the preacher has the right to post and preach anything, true or false, that he sees fit and that his congregation tolerates; as long as it is not treasonous. IMO. The same goes for the protesters, as long as they do not interfer with the rights of the ppl of that church. As for the comment that it can be seen from the street, oh well. If you do not like it, then don't look! Duh...what a novel idea. If you are sitting at the airport next to someone and she is looking at pornographic pics of men, are you going to make a scene and scream and yell and insult her, or are you just going to look over their shoulder quietly?

Sitting and looking at pornographic pics of men cannot be compared to a sign outside of a church for everybody driving by to see. |

So, you favor restricting the freedom of speech because someone might be offended by what they see on a sign?? I, perhaps, was offended by all the "change" signs I saw in the last election cycle because I know it will business as usual in Wah, DC. Should they have been removed because I knew that they were false? Or, is it simply because some Obama supporters take offense at any criticism, howbeit false, of him? |

"America we have a Muslim president. This is sin against the Lord."
If we did have a muslim president, it would NOT be a sin against the Lord. |

"America we have a Muslim president. This is sin against the Lord." If we did have a muslim president, it would NOT be a sin against the Lord. True. But when the words "sin" and "lord" enter a conversation logic will cease to exist. |
