When “Pastors” abuse the pulpit

The controversy surrounding Barack Obama’s pastor Jeremiah Wright brings to mind several questions:
 
 1 – How can a “pastor” preach partisan politics from the pulpit without prompting the IRS to strip his church of its tax exempt status?
 
 2 – How can a “pastor” stand in the pulpit and repeatedly take the Lord’s name in vain during a sermon without losing the respect and trust of his church?
 
 3 – How can a “congregation” sit and listen to such vile, filthy garbage emanating from the mouth of their spiritual leader for decades without losing their own collective self-respect?
 
At least some of the “sermons” that Mr. Wright delivered had no place in a house of worship, and after hearing the course language he used it is my opinion that Mr. Wright had no place standing behind a pulpit in the first place. A pastor’s role is to be the spiritual leader of his congregation, not a politician in disguise who uses the auspices of his church to promote a political agenda.
 
In my opinion, Jeremiah Wright did a huge dis-service to both himself and the congregation of Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ, not to mention the shame he has brought upon the Christian faith in general. Apparently “Pastor” Wright has never taken the time to read Galatians 6:7 – “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”
