Church: "Obama is a Sin Against the Lord"

They grow some pretty big nuts in Kansas. The Stoopid! It Burnssssss...

CNN's Rick Sanchez reported on a church marquee that reads "America we have a Muslim president. This is a sin against the Lord." Mark Holick is pastor of The Spirit One Christian Center in Wichita, Kansas where the sign is being displayed.

Holick told KSNW, "The main point of the marquee is to cause the Christians to understand he is not a Christian, Again, they will call me and they will tell me that he's not a Muslim because he is a Christian. That's not the point. The point is he's not a Christian."

Sanchez talked to Wayne Slater who is the Sr. political writer for the Dallas Morning News. "It's absolutely not true. He was born in the United States. Barack Obama. He is not a Muslim. Yet, there are people who hold on to this and part of this, i think, is an intent to believe what people want to believe about their environment because their environment is changing," said Slater.

  1. Dear Cajun,

    It's ironic, isn't it, that Obama's mother was a Christian from Kansas. What is it about Kansas? I was born and raised there. And there was something about the state which helped to instill the values in a mother and grandmother who raised a bi-racial boy with the qualities to become President of the United States.

    Yet, something about the state not only allows a preacher full of hate-messages to grow a congregation there, but also allows a Fred Phelps Sr. You know Fred. He's the Topeka, KS Baptist minister who gained national notoriety by picketing the 1998 funeral of Matthew Shepard, the gay University of Whyoming student murdered because of his sexual orientation. Phelps is 70 now, but hasn't mellowed. Now he pickets funerals of American soldiers killed in Irag -- for some sin he perceives that they've committed.

    Another good post on the subject is at:

  2. Along with such hate mongers, have you seen the statements of the Roman Catholic cardinal in Baltimore?
