Judgment (5.00 / 2) (#218)

We have freedom of association. People make decisions about who they choose to associate with. Although you may like someone who holds radical views (whether they are of the government or religion or some other issue), you may choose not to associate too freely with them for the simple reason that you don't want people to think that you endorse, sympathize with or hold those same radical views.  

We cannot choose our family members but we do choose everyone else who we associate with.  The choice of a spiritual mentor is a serious matter, if you are devout. I cannot imagine choosing a spiritual mentor who held views that I found to be offensive even though I thought him to be the nicest or kindest man in the world.

Either Obama is incredibly naive or audaciously disingenuous. Either quality is a serious cause for concern.

If that man is Jesus then... well I won't even go down that road because I have a pretty strong feeling that he is not.
