The Wright Explanation for Godless Teachings

As a Christian who sees the Holy Bible as the complete word of God, I have been racking my brain to try to figure out how a pastor could take the Holy Bible and twist it to support separatism, racism and some of the other downright Godless beliefs adopted to by Reverend Jeremiah Wright, Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and The Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, IL. The problem was that I was not looking past the authority the Church claims to use.

Ryan Lizza wrote an article about Barack Obama's unlikely political education for the New Republic last year that gave insight to the spiritual past and education of the group.

After many lectures like this, Obama decided to take a second look at Wright's church. Older pastors warned him that Trinity was for "Buppies"--black urban professionals--and didn't have enough street cred. But Wright was a former Muslim and black nationalist who had studied at Howard and Chicago, and Trinity's guiding principles--what the church calls the "Black Value System"--included a "Disavowal of the Pursuit of 'Middleclassness.'"

The Holy Bible teaches that in order to become a Christian one is to leave their past misconceptions behind and find truth through the teachings of Christ. Apparently this is a practice that Wright, Obama and the Trinity Church has never put into action.

Instead of accepting the bible as full authority, they have brought forth the teachings of the Islamic religion and the beliefs of a "black nationalist" to form their own hybrid religion.
