The Blind Leading the Blind

Okay, I can always count on my good ole' Al to drop some vomit inducing quotes for me to view. If you can't tell from the first sentence I'm not really a fan of Big Al Sharpton. It is always interesting when you have reverends who are supposed to be the foremost leaders of the black community upholding immorality. When you start placing a "Rev." as a prefix to you name I start viewing you in a different light. Mainly I view everything you say and everything you do in contrast to scripture.

Well Rev. Al has forgotten scripture I suppose and went out on his own beliefs. The one I'll focus on now is his support for homosexuality. While running for presidential nomination in 2004 he marched with them in a protest for their right to marry. He's frustration doesn't lie with the people that support it but rather with the ministers that preach against it, even though he himself knows that it is wrong.
In a recent article he was quoted saying "But we refuse to allow the few to speak for the many. We will not sit idly as these ministers tarnish Dr. King's legacy by promoting their small-minded causes to the detriment of the battles truly worth fighting."

Sharpton doesn't view homosexuality as a "battle truly worth fighting" and that it's "small-minded". Well let's check scripture, 1 Cor 6:9 "Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders".

Or maybe Rom. 1:27 "In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion."

Or even Lev 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it [is] abomination."

I guess scripture feels like it's worth mentioning!!!

He is upset at preachers who preach against unrighteousness and stating that they should be focusing on facts of greater importance. Like what??? Your floundering hopes of becoming a black icon. Maybe we'll focus on your lack of a backbone when faced with immoral actions. Let's go kick some old fool off a radio station for saying racial comments but allow YOUR GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS TO BE MOCKED. I'm ashamed every time I see this sorry excuse of a Christian attempt to validate his support of immorality in an effort to boost his own stature.
Unfortunately this is what a lot of black Americans look up to.

Don't go after the ACLU, no that wouldn't pay that much, let's go after IMUS. You know your hair and your stances have a lot in common, they're both slick and getting really old.
