Mayor Adams says God told him he’d lead NYC, asked him to publicly proclaim faith By Bernadette Hogan
June 19, 2023 | 5:18pmNot only has he known he’d have the Big Apple’s top job for at least three decades, Hizzoner revealed God has visited him several times to help him plan for the role and most recently instructed him to publicly preach about his faith.
"Thirty something years ago I woke up, out of my sleep in a cold sweat. God spoke to my heart and said,‘You are going to be the mayor January 1, 2022,” Adams described the divine encounter during a Father’s Day mass at the Lenox Road Baptist Church on Nostrand Avenue in Brooklyn on Sunday.
“God stated,‘You cannot be silent. You must tell everyone you know!’”

I'm curious to see how the left will process this declaration by a black, Democrat Mayor. This kind of talk from someone like Dr. Ben Carson was the cause of much mockery and shouts of separation of church and state. Will he suffer a similar fate or be given a pass because of his political allegiance?
I'm not mocking, I'm just really interested in what you all have to say about this.

My comparison of Carson and Adams is wondering if the left will give Adams a pass on the separation of church & state issue whereas they ganged up on Carson for interjecting his faith into his character profile while running for office. Why must everything be about race with you @im2? Personally, I don't have a problem with Mayor Adams and I have said so in at least one other thread.

Been with him on 3 maybe 4 forums over the years. Every one was used for a racist propaganda platform. With that being said, I to am quite interested if Adams is going to be given a pass on this. Going by past experience, I will say yes. It will be downplayed, or quickly removed from the media news reports. |

He is owned by the Democrats and will keep hollering racism to keep as many blacks in Candyland as he can. |

Actually hank, making similar claims has earned conservative Christian candidates much scorn by the left. My question is will the same be true if a high profile Democrat makes the same claim. This is highly unusual in my City, I wonder how this will be received by the voters who put him in office. Note, I do not question the man's beliefs, what is extraordinary is his willingness to break down the wall put up by the separation of church & state proponents. Will this cost him at the polls come election time? |

Politicians are the worst example of Christianity as are baby butchering liberals. JMO |

Why are you comparing this to Ben Carson? I'm really kinda tired of right wingers making victims out of black sellouts because they say what right wingers want to hear. Adams needs to show his godliness by his action. Talk is cheap. I was going to ask the same thing. Not sure what his pigment has to do with his visits with god. |

Really people, their "pigment" is the question?"Making victims out of black sellouts" quote @im2.
The question being asked numerous times is about religious beliefs mixed with politics.I know this is a subject the left loves to bash conservative politicians over (which was done to Dr. Carson), but what about when someone like Adams, a Democrat, brings his faith to work in a very public way. Why not address the topic at hand, or is this too sensitive an issue to shed light on so it becomes necessary to try and shut this discussion down by turning this into yet another race, race, race thread? This tactic is getting old and quite tiresome. Can I get an Amen?

If I compared him to a white conservative who was mocked for his religious stance, it would have opened the door to a whole race thing. Who knew choosing to keep the comparison race neutral would have the same effect since Dr. Carson isn't fit to be a black person according to @im2. And the wheels of the bus go round and round...
And once again we're not addressing the topic of religion & politics. SMH

I tried to even the playing field deliberately not pitting one race against another. In this comparison both men are Christians, both are public about their commitment to God, both are politicians, both are black. The only difference is one is a Democrat and the other is a Republican. That's as fair as I can make this comparison. There is no mockery on my part, the only mockery has come from @im2 who took a cheap shot at Dr. Carson on an issue that has absolutely nothing to do with the question posed by this thread.
