I'm not an evangelical or a Charismatic Christian, but having heard the essence of both forms of "Christianity", there is much less for America to fear from the words of Sarah's pastor than Barack's.
Barack's (ex-pastor and ex-church) espouses racism and Black Liberation Theology, akin to the teaching of Che Guevara and similar communist radicals.
Sarah's church espouses teachings found in many Christian denominations in this country - whether you are worried by their "unbelievability" or not. That concern relates more to ignorance of the concept of "faith" and the teachings of various Christian denominations than it is to being a "radical" church like Obamas.

EXCELLENT POST.
I quickly watched the links first posted.....have not studied them at length or researched this to death, but since there are I'm sure those here who will be quick to enlighten me, please plainly list the grievous wrongs with this denominational viewpoint.
Rev. Wright preaches racism and hate. Without getting into a heavy theological discussion, there are places in this world that still have witch doctors who have a strong influence on their followers. The bondage-like power they have over their followers is light years away from the modern world we are used to and it is hard for us to even believe.
Faith is a mysterious thing. IF one believes in God, it is not hard to also see evidence of the antithesis of God.....namely evil. Both are core teachings of the christian faith.
Unless I'm missing something here, it seems that Palin's church is much more mainline then the cult-like teachings of Rev. Wright.
But of course I'm not surprised.....biblical christianity is the newest persecuted group in this new "enlightened" age.
Respectfully, Frank D.
