Move over Madonna, Miley, and Britney — the Obamas are the hottest rock stars on the planet
So wrote wire service Agence France-Presse Sunday in a piece so filled with sugar one might require an insulin injection to survive the full reading.
In an article entitled “Obamas Rock and Rule,” AFP sunk to new lows in gushing and fawning over the first family:

“l.The goals of BT are to turn religion into sociology, Christianity into a political agenda, Jesus into a black Marxist rebel, and the gospel into violent revolution. They are more interested in politics than preaching the gospel.
“III. The Methodology of Black Liberal Theology
“The main method employed by BT is to manipulate embittered young blacks by turning their feelings of inferiority, alienation, jealousy, hopelessness and self-hate, into racist rage against whites, Orientals and affluent blacks who are conveniently blamed for their lack of personal initiative to better their lot in life.
“IV. The Main Philosophic Error of Black Liberal Theology
“BT is based upon the philosophic error of relativism in which ‘Jesus’ is viewed as only a religious symbol which can be interpreted anyway they want. Thus it does not matter who and what the historical Jesus really was. BT invented a black Marxist Jesus to lead the way to violent revolution because such a ‘Jesus’ will serve their purpose. BT is condemned in II Cor. 11:4 and Gal. 1:8-9.
“V. The Racism Of Black Liberal Theology
“While BT is filled with racist statements against whites and Orientals, it is primarily a form of ‘black on black’ racism. The following evidence demonstrates this to be true.
“A. While BT claims to give blacks a better self-image, they unwittingly encourage a poor self-image among blacks by defining “blackness” in such negative terms as ‘the poor,’ ‘the oppressed,’ and ‘niggers.’ Why do they always define the ‘black experience’ in such negative terms? Why do they assume that all blacks live in the ghetto subsisting on welfare in the midst of crime and filth?
“B. With its constant emphasis on God loves the poor, the oppressed, etc. BT actually paralyzes and demoralizes blacks to accept a parasitic life- style dependent on the government dole instead of fostering self-reliance and entrepreneurship.
“C. It seems to me that BT feeds off of class envy and racist rage. Instead of spending their time blaming the white man for the black man’s problems, BT ought to be encouraging black men or women to become financially successful through hard work and self-reliance.
“D. BT often describes the black man as a helpless victim of forces and people beyond his control. But this negative stereotype often leads people to accept poverty, drugs, crime and filth as their unalterable fate.
“E. BT makes a great mistake when it assumes that poverty automatically means crime and filth. Just because you are poor does not mean you have a license to rob, rape, or murder others. The poor are for the most part good and honest people. Crime is crime regardless of who commits it. Poverty is no excuse for criminality.
“F. BT judges people on the basis of the color of their skin instead of the content of their character.
“G. BT gives the impression that the black man’s problem is his skin instead of his sin.
“H. Most BT books glorify rage, hatred and violence instead of faith, hope and love.
“I. BT preaches race instead of grace as the solution to problems.
“J. BT cries out for political liberation instead of spiritual salvation.
“K. BT thinks more of Marx than it does of Jesus.
“L. BT is more interested in black culture than in Jesus Christ.
“VI. The Liberalism Of Black Liberal Theology
“BT is not a fundamental, Bible-believing, Christ-honoring theology. BT was created by white liberation theologians at white liberal seminaries and universities that are radically anti-Christian and anti-Bible.
“A. Most of those involved in BT do not believe in the Trinity, the deity of Christ, His virgin birth, sinless life, vicarious death, bodily resurrection, literal ascension or return to this world. They claim that all such doctrines are ‘Western.’
“B. Many of those who teach BT openly deny the immortality of the soul, a conscious after-life in heaven or hell, the resurrection of the dead, the Last Judgment and the eternal conscious torment of the damned in hell. They usually say that hell is ‘being black on welfare in the ghetto.’ They attack those blacks who talk about heaven as a ‘pie in the sky by and by slave mentality.’
“C. BT often denounces Christianity as racist and the ‘white man’s religion.’ But then it turns around and claims that Jesus was black. If Jesus was a black man, then how can Christianity be the ‘white man’s religion?’
“D. Most BT writers deny the inspiration, inerrancy and authority of the Bible while at the same time using it to foster their racist agenda.
“E. Many BT leaders teach the theory of evolution in which man evolved from an ape in Africa as if that theory can give dignity to blacks or to anyone else. The theory of evolution actually destroys all dignity and morals by reducing man to an animal.
“VII. The Absurdity of Black Liberal Theology
“BT is so filled with self-contradiction and erroneous ideas that it is has no intellectual merit. For example, BT defines ‘blackness’ and ‘whiteness’ in the Marxist sense of class struggle. Thus BT is not really talking about blackness as a race but as a class. Wake up! Read that last sentence again. Did you get it? Black liberal theology is really concerned with class struggle and not about black people per se. What is ‘black’ and ‘white’ according to the BT books?
