Way cool. It's time for blacks to vote based on their Christianity rather than their NAACP affiliation.

If my pastor delivered such a "sermon" or endorsement, of any candidate, it would be his last for me.

Good thing you're not a Catholic:
Bishop orders priests to read anti-Obama letter at Sunday sermonsBut thank you Catholics for this. The LDS Church is in "Wheat with the Tares" mode.

Well, I am not Catholic but I would walk out if such was read in my presence and the priest would hear my views no matter which candidate he is attacking. I hope someone, the ACLU perhaps, contests their tax exempt status.

The congregation is not blatantly told who to vote for, though. Please don't forget this comment:
Bishop wrote:"Again, I am not telling you which party or which candidates to vote for or against," he said.
I will admit, though, the rest of his quote sounds like the equivalent to a bishop in our ward reading from the pulpit that if we vote for Obama, our chances of going to the Celestial Kingdom will be bleak.
Bishop continues wrote:"But I am saying that you need to think and
pray very carefully about your vote, because a vote for a candidate who promotes actions or behaviors that are intrinsically evil and gravely sinful makes you morally complicit and places the eternal salvation of your own soul in serious jeopardy."

That was a rather broad, racist stroke there, wasn't it?

Yes he is as you freely admit:

Doesn't fit any definition of racism but those who make such accusations tend to be racist themselves. It's not broad because it's confined to specific groups.
