“Except, Mike, that BHO never converted to Christianity — black liberation theology being nothing if not Marxism dressed up in sheep’s clothing.”

That’s a point that needed making. Although, Obama/Wright’s church is harbored by the United Church of Christ, its “black theology” is nothing more than a racialist heresy that borrows its social metaphysics from the attempt in Latin America to steer the Church into Marxist headwaters.

And I think that “Marxism dressed up in sheep’s clothing” would more precisely read as “Marxism dressed up in the Lamb’s clothing.”

See Michael Burleigh’s Sacred Causes for a full account of how the 20th Century’s political religions attempted to either wipe out or take over Christianity.
