Well one of the top tier candidates in the Democratic Party does attend a church that 'claims' to be Christian , yet is biased only for the advancement of black people .
How does that make you feel ? Doesn't that in fact mean that that particular church and it's followers are not Christian at all ?
I'm intentionally not naming the candidate(although many of you know who I'm talkin about) in the hopes that you simply answer the question as it is. . . without bias or defense .
Real Simple Folks. . . . Would You Support A Presidential Candidate Who's Church Is Racially Biased ?

Commodore - Your homework assignment will be very simple . Do a search of his church and read their own mission statements like I did .

Waytoosteve - You name 'history'. . . . I name 'current and ongoing events' .

Al Cracka - You'd do well to not name 'Oprah The Cultist and Self-God' as your example .

No, I wouldn't
Edit:
Jim W. Back in the day, it was the democratic party who upheld slavery. The south was Red. Read your history. It wasn't just the Church of Bush that supported slavery, sweetie, it was the Democrats and the entire south. I will be glad when Bush is finished and the idiots can STFU.

I saw information on his church early in the campaign and I do have a problem with it. His issues are more important and the major reason I do not support the Senator from Illinois. It is to me like a candidate from the Nation of Islam I could never support because they believe in segregation of the races. I see the way for our nation to really succeed is to follow what MLK said about a day when we don't look at the color of ones skin.

Il (Elle) est un(e) de nous. (S) he's one human beings. can not ignore approximately it, for the 1st time by using fact 1792 a woman is working for the presidential nomination. ok, according to hazard for the 1st time by using fact 1792, a "unfastened man or woman of shade" is working for the presidential nomination. i assume i'm no longer ignoring it, i assume i myself may be bowled over if who helps which candidate have been different than what it particularly is. I do see how often it happens. maximum folk locate a thank you to rationalize their possibilities, the rest in simple terms fall into cognitive dissonance.

You sound pretty biased yourself. If you back up your statement with evidence I'll respect it more.
Edit: There's a difference between being a historically black Church with long-standing ties to Civil Rights and Social Justice causes including those of other minorities and the poor, and being "racially biased." Probably something to do with their crazy idea that God created ALL human beings of every race and loves every race equally, and that when people are unkind to eachother unjustly that it's a sin that should be corrected.

Then you shouldn't support Mitt Romney. His religion has racism in it. For example, they believe that Black people and Native Americans were cursed simply because they have dark skin. You look it up yourself. It's called Mormonism.
And Obama "is" a Christian and he is not claiming anything.
Anyways, I would suggest leaving religion out of politics. I'm not voting for Obama or Romney, because I don't agree with their stance on issues and NOT because of their religion.

Mitt Romney is a Mormon and according to Mormons, black people are black as a punishment from God.

the church Obama is a member of is against white people.

So no, I will not support a candidate whose religion was racially biased.

I would not support such a candidate of ANY party.
By the way, that reminds me that there is an argument that Bush is SO conservative that he would be a slave owner in a different time, and that Bush's religion condoned slavery back in the day.

If I thought that the candidate endorsed those teachings, I would oppose him/her. If those were only the beliefs of specific members, enb some leaders but not of most members & not of the candidate, then it would depend on that candidate overall.

No, I wouldn't, which is why I won't be voting for the Republican who's Church has a history of excluding Blacks and other minorities from its priesthood and taught that blacks were inferior to whites inherently and has never apologized for that. That they practiced blood atonement and polygamy too is only icing on the cake... and keeping in the spirit of the question, I won't name him either or his church, though i'm pretty sure you know the answer.

I don't vote for a candidate based on their Religion, or lack there of. I hope elected officials keep their Religion out of my Government, as well.
