If a person is standing behind a pulpit, we would assume that he/she is proclaiming the word of God. Racism, prejudice & hatred are not qualities that the Bible teaches us to practice. The are qualities we are to preach against & to teach people to overcome. If a person is standing to proclaim a message of racism, prejudice and hatred he/she is not speaking on behalf of God. I would say he/she is speaking his/her own opinion from a podium.

Those can be coupled as long as they're marriage includes the proper conent, context, tone, and ethics. These things are to be addressed in the pulpit, do you not agree?

By "okay" do you mean "legal" or "morally acceptable?"

It should seem obvious to anyone that these combinations are morally repugnant. But illegal ... that would be much harder to contest, given the strictures of the First Amendment.

Nah.
I would say, Racism and Sex
Love and the Pulpit
Hate and Bigotry

I am one of those guys who have "been everywhere, done everything"

I am disappointed that the clergy will NOT STAND UP to the evils in this world, but the Govenment condemns them.

In my mind the Pulpit covers a large area. I've been reading about the Vatican and my goodness there are a pile of snakes in THERE.
Take a look at various pictures of the current pope sitting in his throne....there is a cross behind him....it's upside DOWN.
Pope John Paul the first was murdered because he was going to blow the whistle on the spending from out of the vatican bank.
From what I've read...the Vatican is ruled by the Masonic (demonic) group....not the nice people who belong to the masons in your local village...but the highest up who come from an entirely different place within.
We have been sold a bill of goods on all counts...religion, politics, medicine, war, I could go on for hours.
If we wish to commune with God we don't need anyone telling us a doctrine. We just open our hearts and let "him" in. The Bible has been altered so many times, with things being put in and taken out...there is very little truth left. Read about the Bible Code. It's very interesting, though.

They are all concepts I have tried to rise above....including the Pulpit. God is in the heart....he always has been.

Yes as long as the sermon in the pulpit is against these atrocities. The pulpit is to preach the gospel. The gospel is a word for the truth.
The truth sets one free from hatred, prejudice, and racism.

Yes they can be coupled by only as an argument against racism, prejudice and hate.

Faith calls for the abandonment of such.

Organized religion however tends to talk out both sides of its mouth....all in brotherly love of course....but the reality is we would be so much better if religion were thrown out with the bath water of racism, prejudice and hate.

only if they are preaching for this stuff to end. Christianity is about loving everyone. love your neighbor is what they say. sadly they take this to mean sometimes that you should love your neighbor only if they are like yourself and not love you neighbor as yourself.

i do have to say government philosophies and religions are at fault for most of them so we can not point a finger at any single one but most likely its all i will have to agree with you

since if there was none of which i have stated what u have mention would not exist
