TOTAL LACK OF CLASS, INDEED........ ( Archived) (433)

Hugz_n_Kissez: Well that's not the first time I have seen this as the only proof...and...a lot of different news sources proving things false...so it's only fair to present both sides.....

jlw45: PROOF???? you are obviously unaware that the jury is still out on that one....

Hugz_n_Kissez: For my mother, organized religion too often dressed up closed-mindedness in the garb of piety, cruelty and oppression in the cloak of righteousness.

This isn't to say that she provided me with no religious instruction. In her mind, a working knowledge of the world's great religions was a necessary part of any well-rounded education. In our household the Bible, the Koran, and the Bhagavad Gita sat on the shelf alongside books of Greek and Norse and African mythology. On Easter or Christmas Day my mother might drag me to church, just as she dragged me to the Buddhist temple, the chinese New Year celebration, the Shinto shrine, and ancient Hawaiian burial sites. But I was made to understand that such religious samplings required no sustained commitment on my part. Religion was an expression of human culture, she would explain, not its wellspring, just one of the many ways — and not necessarily the best way — that man attempted to control the unknowable and understand the deeper truths about our lives.

They didn't do organized religion....

jlw45: yea, and you did'nt see my post ...reverend whites teachings are far from christian teaching...its a sham!!!

Indyfella: I'd call that drifting aimlessly....but to each his own.

jlw45: maybe you should GOOGLE it....

Hugz_n_Kissez: The only concrete connection we know of is the meeting, which was attended by a number of local liberals; their contemporaneous membership on the board of a local organization; and a $200-donation by Ayers to one of Obama’s state senate campaigns. (Obama also once praised something Ayers had written about the juvenile justice system.) I’m not saying they couldn’t have been casual friends; just that there isn’t much evidence for that at this point."

azucarmorena: He's a Black-ish man with a funny sounding name. On top of that he is educated and intelligent. He uses words like diplomacy, change, accountability.

This enough is reason for hostility.
