Well, I’m not putting down those that voted for Obama but Obama christianity seems to be a very liberal liberation theology protestiansim that has poor historial analysis. The Roman Empire or Italisns represent white oppression against black Judea according to Rev Wright. Actually, Jews by Jesus’s time probably did not have much black afrcian ancestry from anicent Nubia or Metriot. Nor of course was Jesus as light as North European paintings but he is a semitic whose dna is across between asian and africian not full africian. Rev Wright was a poor historian, and I’m one while mainly self-taught on Roman history could not understand academia support so much of a man whose ex-pastor Wright preach poor history.

Well, Wallis doesn’t use non-biblical Christian or Jewish literture seriously unless it fits his agenda. For example, he likes to use the church fathers to support a pacifists military position from some passages from them since the new testment doesn’t really support a pacifists position. But doesn’t like the fathers when they disagree with other things he believes in. Take the testment of Gad. Probably not written by Gad but talks about the other famous sin of envy. It states that for the poor man, if he is free from envy, he pleaseth the Lord in all things and is blessed beyond all men because he doesn’t not have the travail of vain men. And even if a man gains by evil be not jealious but wait for the end of the Lord. Such men even if govenments or soceties do not always punish their wrong doing God does. Wallis on the other hand, seems to think that governments are responsible mainly for punishing greed.

Wallis is a 1960's holdover, still holding on to the promises of redistributionism that were popular back then and has not learned anything new along the way. He's a special favorite of religious professionals who don't understand the economics behind his moralistic pronouncements. They listen to the pronouncements, hear that they are roughly congruent with moral imperatives of the Gospel (Wallis borrows the Christian vocabulary to dress redistributionism in Christian garb), and then erroneously conclude that his economic ideas are sound. Wallis and cohorts were uncontrollably giddy when Obama got elected (see video below) thinking that their time had finally come. Now that it looks like the Obama administration is on a crash and burn trajectory (the administration's debt accrual portends a great slavery down the road), the pronouncements get more thunderous (Wall Street, Repent!) on the one hand while the moralistic appeals for civility (by which he hopes to silence the growing criticism) increase on the other. The truth is that his ideas have been tested and found wanting.

BTW, his certitude about redistributionism is even greater than his certitude about global warming ("...we must act, and act now!").

What about all the government bureaucrats and Congressmen who forced banks to make improvident loans? Did any of these bozos come to the Prophet Wallis (Peace Be Upon Him) begging forgiveness? How about Janet Reno who fried 50 kids in Waco? Or George Tenet who assured everybody that Saddam’s WMD were a “slam dunk”?

Earlier I said that Wallis was a fool and/or a liar. Now we know that because he thinks he can read people’s hearts that he’s a blasphemer as well.
