Obama's
Christianity
Contrary
to the belief of my fellow bible thumping conservatives, I am
convinced Barack Obama has done a great deal for contemporary
Christianity. Usually when a politician exploits their religion for
political gain, it satisfies their Sunday morning Christian's
appetite. It wasn't so easy for Presidential hopeful, Barack Obama.
He was plagued by an over abundance of negative exposure. The
fireworks seemed to begin with his long time friend, mentor, and
spiritual guide, Jeremiah Wright. Initially his ties with Wright were
unwaivering, saying he would no longer disown Wright as he would is
grandmother, I'm sorry, white grandmother. Here's the quote:
“ I
can no more disown him than I can my white grandmother,”
Loyalty,
even after the disparaging Fox snippets of the militant Reverend
Wright blasted around the world, Obama stuck by him and his white
grandmother. Unlike Obama's white grandmother, however, Wright
continued to push the envelope. Here was an authentic Christian using
language like “God Damn America” and among many other things, “We
bombed Hiroshima. We bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the
thousands in New York and the Pentagon and we never batted an eye."
This as if the 9/11 victims tragedy should be negated in light of
the enemy casualties in a military action, while our country was in a
world war.
But
soon all the hooplah was to subside, just like so many other Obama
perplexities, swept away by the tides of change. Now while all the
good little rank and file Christians continued marching to the beat
of Marxism, Obama morphed into a conservative for the general
election.
Forgotten,
however, are his ardent beliefs on abortion and homosexual marriage.
Two things which are in direct conflict with Christianity. I have
recently seen an ultrasound of a baby boy with tiny little
fingernails, much younger than the ones Obama believes should be
extracted and butchered for being such an unwanted inconvenience in
their mothers life. The ones Obama deems killable are almost old
enough to call D.C.F on their parents for grounding them.
Yet,
despite the fact that Obama and his blacker half Michele, will do an
enormous amount of damage to the family, by advancing homosexual
special rights and abortion, he continues to get avid Christian
support.. How can you listen to the word of God, and all the
beautiful blessings he's bestowed on us, then endorse someone whose
social views contradict that? How can any priest or a pastor give a
heartfelt sermon or homily on the importance of life and virtue, then
cast a vote for abortion and the homosexual agenda? It's called
hypocrisy, how can Christians be expected to change hearts and minds
when they're losing keep theirs?.. Check
your motives.
