Reply #39: He didn't have to walk away from him [View All]

He had to stand up for what is right. He could have gone to his mentor after that devastating "God Damn America" speech and said "Ya know that isn't what we need and I think this church should not be selling that particular sermon for profit."

Would that have been too difficult? At any time since then he could made this gesture and stood by his church and stood up for his friend/mentor without selling out his country. He didn't. He put his church first and that is not a bad thing - unless you want to be the president of the United States of America - a position where where our country must come first in heart and mind and action.
