Obama's Faith Leaders: What Do You Think?

Posted July 9, 2009

Obama And Faith

As a true American I appreciate the faith in Christ as foundation stsone of life of Obama.The faith would lead him to

conclude many of the tricky situation whcih the country faces.

It is very essential that American people should have a good health and death policy of life.First fifty years of human life should be healthy.The next fifty years is the decline of health leading to death.This second period of decline one should have good health care at cheaper rate so that one could face death grafefully.I appreciate his promise of giving good health care to all who are poor and weak.Obama's faith is reflection of Sermon on the Mount.

Being Used Like...

Obama is using the faith leaders to advance his political agenda & to sell his policies to the faith community.

These liberal faith leaders are using Obama to advance their personal power agendas to gain worldly prestige & influence.

Do any of these faith leaders have a passion for protecting unborn lives from the torture of abortion? If so, they have compromised their values in supporting the Obama administration & anti-biblical policies.

What a sad bunch of sorry folks!

RSchaefer says Obama can't understand God....

Scripture-writers say "nobody can understand the mind of God." This is cute, because God is said to be immaterial, without a body, so how could he have a mind or thoughts? Another odd thing about religion is that it says mythic God has a Plan that will turn out BEST for everyone, even if disease kills a loved one, or a tornado blows away a whole trailer park. God is said to decide when each person is born & dies. So why do people build places of worship, to pray to God TO MAKE CHANGES IN HIS PLAN? One man prays for a better job. Down the pew, another prays the first will be fired so the job goes to him. A woman prays her husband will stop running around. Up front, the man's mistress prays he'll divorce the wife. At sports events, both teams pray to win--not by skill but by divine intervention. If Schaefer thinks he can understand the mind of God, it's a vacant idea because there is no god, hell, satan, christ, soul, sin, etc, They're all words, but they represent fictional characters in the best-selling collection of sewn-together pages ever invented.
