Every one of us will suffer an injustice at the hand of another man at some point in our lives.
For the secular man, I would think handling oppression or any form of injustice with character would be the highest manner of responding to a wrong. Other commenters here have shared the character their own family members have shown.
For the religious man – and definitely the Christian – handling such injustices with faith, and forgiveness, is the highest response to a wrong. It is the duty of every pastor or priest continually to remind and encourage this high calling in his parishoners.
Instead, we have witnessed just the opposite from both Wright and Pfleger. They neither have themselves nor do they encourage character in the secular man, or forgiveness in the man of faith.
I wish these men were merely worthless to secular society and the Christian church. But they are worse than that. They are dangerous to both.
We must remind ourselves as often as necessary between now and November that this is what Obama will deliver to us should we be foolish enough to have this man at the helm. He has surrounded himself – throughout his adulthood – with men of low character and poor judgment. Men who are a danger to our society. Not unlike himself.
