Strong words
To the editor:
In recent days, the media has been discussing statements made by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Sen. Barack Obama’s former pastor. Rev. Wright has claimed that God condemns America for its continued violence, intolerance and bigotry. These are strong words indeed.
However, I would much rather hear the sermons of Rev. Wright than those of politically conservative ministers such as Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, James Dobson, and even Kansas’ own Fred Phelps, each of which have claimed that God condemns America for not being hateful and bigoted enough.
