Obama Is Making Centrist Evangelicals Antsy

Evangelicals keep following the side of hate. They side with a president who brings about an unjust war. Would their Jesus support such a president? They support an administration that says it's ok to torture people. Would their Jesus support such a government? They insist that homosexuals don't have the same rights as they do (hatred). They insist that abortion should be outlawed, but turn their backs on adopting unwanted and mistreated children. People are sick of their hate and judgement with no solutions of their own.

The bible they follow says that slavery is OK. It says that I should stone my mother because she insists on wearing a cotton shirt with wool pants. It says I should kill my wife because she works on Sunday. It says I should kill my daughter because she is not always respectful to me. It details how to gut a pregnant woman to make sure you kill not just her, but the unborn baby also - and this just for living in a town that is full of sin.

They can believe as they want, but don't go pushing their sick beliefs on me. I fought against the war, spoke out against torture, and have taken in a foster daughter so maybe there will be one less unwanted child in the world. I am an atheist and I won't allow a god to tell me to hate others!

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. He said: "In a certain town there was a judge who neither feared God nor cared about men. And there was a widow in that town who kept coming to him with the plea, 'Grant me justice against my adversary.'

"For some time he refused. But finally he said to himself, 'Even though I don't fear God or care about men, 5 yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will see that she gets justice, so that she won't eventually wear me out with her coming!' "

And the Lord said, "Listen to what the unjust judge says. And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?"

Luke 18

Not having to pay for abortions with taxes seems reasonable to me. There are even atheists who don't believe in abortion on the basis of morality and morality is what this is about, not religion. But as far as Christians go, they have as much right as anyone to protest and even Jesus encouraged it.

Oh please. Religion has absolutly none and I mean zero right to tell the goverment how to operate . Historey has shown that more poeple have been killed in the name of your precious god than all the abortions ever performed. Fine you dont want an abortion dont have one. You dont like gays than dont marry someone of the same sex. I am sick of religous poeple acting like they are superior to non relious poeple. Ive worked with poeple with aids and the poor for years and most of the poeple that volunteer dont go to church regurly and they do more than the so called chosen ones.

"People of God" who voted for Barack Obama got what they wanted and got someone who reacts to them the way they react to God. They say one thing and do another. The primary message throughout the Bible is obey and be blessed or disobey and all these curses shall come upon you. (Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28). The Bible is a history of exactly that happening and yet "people of God" read Jesus' word Man should like by EVERY word of God and they follow the errors of ignoring the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20 and Deuteronomy 6 and ignoring all the Holy Day commandments of God in Leviticus 23 and Exodus 12. God warned against debt, charging interest, insurance, gambling (stock market) and seeking after riches and honor; yet our "people of God" nation ignores God's word.

"People of God" voted for Barack Obama knowing he would not stop abortion, that he read Harry Patter witchcraft-sorcery books to his young daughter to his wife's delight, that there were radical activists in his associations, that he was hiding documents about his past and that he gave no solutions to their problems. God specifically says You will know them by their fruit. Delight in things of the devil should have warned them, but they expected what they had no right to expect, truth, real change they could count on.

We are seeing the reward of those that fight God's truth.

Now they need to let their voices be heard that they will follow God's day of no work the 7th day only and they will honor God's other days of no work in His Passover ordinances etc. We can keep the Passover (1 Corinthians 5:7,8) without the animal sacrifices and call upon our president to restore the word of God in our government instead of all those nothing holidays of no work that man created. We want to see the blessing side of life with no sorrow added.
