Men of a Loving God??

I've just heard and read of two American church ministers who have absolutely reviled their own president. One even said that god hated him. Why has the love in religion disappeared? I hear more hatred coming out of the church than I ever have before and it's frightening because these hateful church leaders have influence over their parishioners.

I've always been told that god is a god of love. I would never have believed any church leader could be guilty of preaching hatred because that's not what religion is supposed to be about.

We've seen way too much evidence in past years of church leaders preaching hatred for other religions, races, nationalities, countries, etc. than can be tolerated by those of us who want peace in this world. I wonder sometimes if that's what is chasing people away from the church.

Why would a "man of god" rant to his followers that he hates Obama, that god hates Obama? This particular pastor said in a radio interview that anyone who killed Obama would not be considered a murderer in his opinion. What kind of church leader is he? And what kind of people belong to his church?

Another minister who happens to be a black man spewed absolute filth about Obama, calling him a pimp and saying his mother was white trash. Again, is that church blessed with the love of god?

Parishioners have got to demand better from their church leaders. There is no room for the ugliness of hatred in the church and those who practice it are not true followers of god.
