Small Church's Obama Sign Causes Big Controversy

JONESVILLE, S.C. -- The sign in front of a small church in a small town is causing a big controversy in Jonesville, S.C.
Pastor Roger Byrd said that he just wanted to get people thinking. So last Thursday, he put a new message on the sign at the Jonesville Church of God.
It reads: "Obama, Osama, hmm, are they brothers?"
Byrd said that the message wasn't meant to be racial or political.
"It's simply to cause people to realize and to see what possibly could happen if we were to get someone in there that does not believe in Jesus Christ," he said.
When asked if he believes that Barack Obama is Muslim, Byrd said, "I don't know. See it asks a question: Are they brothers? In other words, is he Muslim ? I don't know. He says he's not. I hope he's not. But I don't know. And it's just something to try to stir people's minds. It was never intended to hurt feelings or to offend anybody."
Obama has said repeatedly during his campaign that he is a Christian and attends Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.
Despite some criticism, Byrd says that the message will stay on the sign. He took the issue before his congregation Sunday night, and they decided unanimously to keep it.
Byrd also said he doesn't want it to look like controversy forced him to take the sign down.

THeres enough fodder to attack him on policy. The other BS merely reinforces his stereotyping of the unbelievers.

Tis a sad day, sayeth the Lord, when a man of the cloth turns to paranoia, prejudice, and attention whoring.

There is so much wrong with those statements that I don't even know where to start. What a MORON.
1) Not meant to be .... political? Why did it mention, oh, I don't know, a PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE?
2) Not meant to be ..... political? "It's simply to cause people to realize and to see what possibly could happen if we were to get someone in there that does not believe in Jesus Christ." Doesn't get much more political than that -- the guy is essentially advocating a religious test for public office. Isn't there something in that damn pesky Constitution about that?
The idiocy in this country astounds me sometimes. Just when I start to believe that I will never again be surprised by the utter stupidity of the lowest common denominator America voter (or, for that matter, the lowest common denominator American Protestant), here comes another jackass to show me how naive and Utopian I really am!

"Byrd" "Turd"?
Is this Pastor a piece of shit?
Just makes you ask the question!
Here's another question: Is this kind of idiocy the product of sibling biblical relations?

Product of garbage theology mixed with garbage politics.
I bet he scares his congregation into giving with threats of death and Hades.
Sorry SOB. The scary thing is that he apparently does this from the pulpit, spewing the Devil's turds from his filthy mouth all over Christ's Church. I wonder if the 8th Commandment is included in his copy?
