Who Said That?

"We do not need to be saved by Jesus' death from original sin. We need to be liberated from the oppression of racism, classism, and sexism, that is, from patriarchy."

Obama's pastor, what was his name? Jeremiah Wright?

[Stan McCullars]

Robert Schuller

[Phil B]

Pick a name out of a hat!

This sounds like a "feminazi," to me. Perhaps it's one of the "liberated" lesbian pastors of ELCA. Just a guess...

[Michael William Smith]

I will guess Hillary Clinton.

["lee n. field"]

"Partiarchy" as the root of all evil -- doubt it's J. Wright. I don't think that's his obsession.

Christian veneer over a lefty feminist core. Hmmm.

Bishop Schorri, back in the news?

[John Yeazel]

I think RubeRad is right- Jeremiah Wright. If it is not Wright it is some other liberation theologian. Whether a "Yeminazi" or "liberated lesbian pastor"- there all the same- right?

So, should we be worried that Obama carries some liberation theology around in his baggage? Not according to two-kingdom theology right? I suppose if he starts claiming that those who believe in original sin are oppressive narrow minded bigots and deserve to be silenced in the public square we may change our minds about that. Just trying to start a bit of a debate here.

Several seminary profs whom I've had the misfortune to encounter...

Elaine Pagels

[Brian Davilla]

I'm thinking Jeremiah Wright

[John Yeazel]

I said there all the same- I meant they are all the same.

I wonder, now that Clinton is claiming to be a Calvinist, if he and Obama debate theological differences. Or, do their ego's prevent them from talking to each other that much. I would love to see a political liberal moderate like Bill Clinton and the progressive liberal like Obama go at it theologically. Perhaps their theologiy does have something to do with their politics.

uhhhhhh . . . any currently living American feminist, pick one.

[Ron Suarez]

The Shack????? He He, Hey Papa!

[Robert Palmer]

Rick Warren? :-)

[Coyle]

Maybe someone from the 1800s? Elizabeth Cady Stanton? Maybe even (though less likely) Harriet Beecher Stowe?

[timinator]

Obama's old pastor, Jeremiah Wright if not him them possibly Hillary Clinton.

[Aaron]

Brian Mcclarian

It has got to Jeremiah Wright or his Catholic side kick Michael Pfleger.

[Todd Pruitt]

I'm thinking Bishop Katharine Schori.
