This video rocked my world yesterday. If you get the chance, watch ALL of the "Great is Our God" video from Louie Giglio.

About Me
- W. Mark Whitlock
- We live in a parable culture. Friedrich Nietzsche once said, "Better songs would they have to sing, for me to believe in their Saviour." Our culture screams, "Tell me a better story and then I’ll believe in Jesus.” I began communicating at Focus on the Family and then engineered/produced the daily radio program “FamilyLife Today” for five years. I became the acquisitions editor for FamilyLife Publishing in 98. I wrote or worked on resources including Passport to Purity, Jonah: A Very Veggie Family Adventure, and the amazon.com best-seller Simply Romantic® Nights. In Mar 04, I joined Nelson Ministry Services as a consultant. In Dec 05, I became the Sr. Acquisitions Editor for Gen Reference Books in Nelson's Bible Group. In Mar 07, I went out on my own as a writer and editor. My wife and I live with our four children in Franklin, TN.

You make a living by creating words for use by evangelical organizations, but I doubt your god would approve of your use of commonly understood racial stereotypes. You claim to be a story teller, but a true storyteller would intuit immediately that the "humor" in your waffle box owes a great deal of its energy and impact to images of Aunt Jemima. You were obviously too lazy or meanspirited to go beyond the racist pancake imagery, so instead of doing the work to find a novel or arrested image, you settled for the easy slur.
Does your god call you to spread known falsehoods along with racial stereotypes? You know as well as I do that Obama is not and never has been a muslim. If you spent a moment using your so-called god-given talents as a storyteller to try and imagine who Obama really is, you'd realize that he's a part-time/holiday Christian who made the admittedly cynical decision to become more devout in order to achieve higher public office. Which is to say, he's just like 90% of the Republican party.
The muslim storyline may excite you and your hypocrite friends, but a real story teller would be able to its underlying weakness. Muslims have much more in common with you and your fundamentalist ilk than with secularist progressives like Obama, but you are too blinded by racism to see that. If your god exists, he will ask you about this incident, and what will you say to him? That it was okay to lie about a fellow citizen and to make use of racist imagery in order to achieve your political aims?
You should be ashamed of yourself.
Disgusting. And your waffles are also disgusting.
you are a douche bag Whitlock.
