Somebody Out to Say Something

By REV. DR. ADOLPH ROBERTS


Rev. Adolph Roberts of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church, in the Village of Harlem, NY
 

Sept. 17, 2012  -  Yesterday, I read a Yahoo.Com news entitled, “African-American Christians Waver Over Vote.”  and I was immediately offended by the comments of the so-called clergy who believe because President Barack Obama granted freedom for same-sex marriage, that they were preaching to their congregation to stay home
rather than go out to vote for the reelection of President Obama.  I was
really incensed that I decided to call on a friend of mine, the Rev. Dr. 
Adolph Roberts, Senior Pastor at the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church in
Harlem, to chew him out.  However, when I reached him, he expressed
surprise and outrage at the notion that some black clergy were
advocating that blacks stay home.  He blasted these individuals and
asked me to send him a copy of the article, which I sent to him.  Below
is his take on the ministers, titled “Somebody Ought to Say Something:

About these “Johnny come lately’” crying in the
wilderness about taking the focus off of the most important election of
our lifetime, over frivolous things that are important, but not at this
present time.  Case in point, A.R. Bernard, The Rev. Jamal-Harrison
Bryant, The Rev. George Nelson Jr., The Rev. Howard-John Wesley, The
Rev. Lin Hill, and The Rev. Dwight McKissic, who would rather go
fishing, told YAHOO News, that they are having problems in deciding who
to vote for.  Well, let me help all of you preachers to make up your
minds.  Since, I feel that due to my longevity, living under the
presidency of Franklin D. Roosevelt until this present day, gives me a
great deal of experience.

    If u vote republican, u voted for Romney,

    If u vote democractic, u voted for Obama,

    If u don't vote at all, u voted Bible, sorry thats just how I feel.

      Anyone who choose not to vote for Obama because he help clear the way for all our citizens to have the same rights is certainly not christian, lets not forget the creator gave all mankind free will and no man or system has the right to take that away.  I am an ordained minister myself and the main reasons i abstain from participating in organized religions is because of the hypocrisy. It appears to me that the church and state are trying to control people for thier own benifit. I now consider myself to be a spiritualist i believe in one god one love one people.  hotep.

        Do you really think the resdt of the civilized world will accept some stupid perverted values and ideas from America by way of Obama and Clinton? If you do, you are not a Believer in humanity. You may claim to Believer in GOD. But I have my own opinion about that too.

          It's clear that you only have one vision for what people are suppose to do on this planet you have already challenge my belief in god because i don't agree with you.  perverted or not you or i don't have the right to tell other people what they can or cannot do.  It's really amazing that people like you think you are the only one's that have rights or an opinion of any value.  Yes i do believe in humanity all of humanity not just the part you want me to believe in.  hotep
