Now, a lot of people take what Wright said as support for Osama and the murder of American citizens. I don't and neither did 58 million people who voted for him.


As for Bachmann, I could careless about this controversy though the irony is quite rich. I am amused that Bachmann would quit the church and try to distance herself from a church that says Catholics revere the anti-christ as their leader while trying to covet the support of catholic republicans like SS33.

Religion...a comedy of errors.

Without getting WAAAAYYYY down into the dogmatic weeds on the positions of Lutherans and the Catholic Church, this position and others like it are common with many Protestants and Evangelicals and highlight the differences between Christian denominations.

I do agree with you on the irony here. I'm definitely not thrilled with Bachmann's move to leave her church. I understand why politicians do what they do, but stand up and explain your beliefs and let the American people decide (Catholic or otherwise), don't run from them.

This is very similar to Obama throwing Wright overboard.
