Far From Jesus
by Steve Soto
Not exactly a man of God and truth:
A South Carolina pastor says he wasn't trying to be political when he posted a sign in front of his church linking Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden.
Pastor Roger Byrd said he just wanted to make people think when he put up a sign reading "Obama, Osama - humm, are they brothers" in front of the Jonesville Church of God on Thursday.

WYFF-TV reported Monday on its Web site that Byrd said he won't take the sign down. He said his congregation voted unanimously to keep it up.
Every single member of a congregation allegedly following the example of Jesus voted to engage in a political smear based on outright lies?
Perhaps someone will ask the IRS why this church still maintains its tax-exempt status.
