]]>How far is Barack Obama willing to run from the very same Black nationalism that was fundamental to his victories in so many state Democratic primaries? The nominee-apparent is in pell-mell flight from everything that does not conform to his own "race-neutral" worldview. Obama's political contradictions compel him to reject his most fervent supporters, and apparently to reexamine his ties to the Black Church as an institution. The "journey" to Black identity that Obama describes in his book Dreams From My Father seems in conflict with the Road to the White House. Longtime friends - maybe Black people as a whole - are left by the wayside. Perhaps "Obama ought to just keep on steppin' out of Black America entirely."

]]>When Anne Rice wrote Interview with the Vampire, she had no idea it would change her life forever. After her daughter died of leukemia, Rice turned the short story into a novel, which became one of the best selling of all time and was released as a feature film. Her books have sold over 100 million copies worldwide and influenced the Goth youth subculture. In '05, the New Orleans native began writing fictional bios of Jesus. Her second book in this genre is Christ the Lord: The Road to Cana.

]]>ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. -- It looked harmless enough, but the words on a billboard unnerved so many people that a popular restaurant nearby actually lost business. The billboard was on Colonial Drive near Old Cheney Highway.Although the popular Straub's Seafood restaurant often advertises on it, it wasn't their billboard. The sign was taken down after Channel 9 started asking questions.The billboard came down around 4:00 Friday afternoon and nearby business owners are relieved. Straub's Restaurant can replace the sign with the night's specials.At first glance, the sign looked like a children's cartoon, but the message next to the fairy princess stirred emotions."When you condemn all religions and say they are a fairytale, that is wrong," said Rich Stormes, a nearby business owner.STRANGE PHOTOSVIEW 99 PICS capturing a variety of strange news.The billboard went up a week before Easter and business at the restaurant went down."Easter Sunday is usually a busy good day," said John Russel, an employee at Straub's. "Easter Sunday business was down by two-thirds."Since the sign is so close, John Russel's customers thought the restaurant paid for the billboard. To clear any confusion up, Russel put up a sign of his own and called MediaNet, the company who owns the billboard."It's been causing us some problems. I think it's causing a bit of controversy city-wide. People have been contacting the media," Russel added.MediaNet said it had no idea the sign was there and someone put it up illegally in the middle of the night. Nearby business owners said they weren't buying it."They should have known what was going up on the billboard. He should proof it. He had to proof it," Stormes stated.The billboard rents for $1,400 a month. If an anti-religious group paid to rent it legitimately, there is no telling how long it would have been up.Orange County does not regulate messages on billboards. They are protected by free speech.Copyright 2008 by wftv.com. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
]]>Human beings naturally possess different interests and inclinations. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that we have many different religious traditions with different ways of thinking and behaving. But this variety is a way for everyone to be happy. If we only have bread, people who eat rice are left out. With a great variety of food, we are able to satisfy everyone's different needs and tastes. And people eat rice because it grows best where they live, not because it is either way any better or worse than bread.
