Should we judged by our spiritual mentors?
I’ve been down and out with a vicious flu bug and have had the chance to watch some TV (not usually an option with two small children). And, I totally expected to see a bunch of chatter about Barack Obama and Jeremiah Wright. Doesn’t anybody have anything to say about this?
OK. So I read Scott’s post and I totally agree with the fact that Wright has been inconsiderate and destructive (to say the least) to Obama and his campaign. Wright’s recent media tour makes it obvious that he wants his fifteen minutes of fame. And his fame, or infamy you might say, could very well last much longer if he derails Obama’s historic campaign.
That being said, here’s the question: Should one be judged based on their spiritual mentor? I know I don’t agree with everything I hear in synagogue. I don’t share all the same views as my rabbi. So maybe…
