I'm sure you have now had an opportunity to hear several opinions about the controversial statments made by Rev. Wright, pastor of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. What are your thoughts? Is he Anti-American? Is he a true prophet? Do you feel America is to blame for 9/11? Is America a blameless victim?
Before forming an opinion, I would stongly encourage you to read or listen to Rev. Wright's sermons with more context. It is dangerous to form an opinion by listening to a single sentence out of context. You can find more of his "God Damn America" sermon here: http://www.videosift.com/video/The-full-Rev-Wright-sermon-God-damn-America
Listening to the sermon in more context might not change your opinion, but it will at least help us further discern what he is trying to say without the help of media editing.
Does God damn some of the things America does and has done? Is Wright taking this too far? After hearing the sermon with more context, did your opinion change?
