The Rev Jeremiah Wright of the Trinity United Church of Christ, pastor to Senator Barack Obama and family for close to 20 years, committed blasphemy from the pulpit. Why did the congregants applauding his blasphemous statements? One of the Ten Commandments read, "You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain."The Rev Jeremiah Wright should have been removed from the pulpit for his blasphemy.
