„Last week, the media, White House and nation were in a hullabaloo over a Pew Research Center poll that revealed that 1 in 5 Americans believes President Barack Obama is a Muslim.
The poll received so much attention and response that the White House released a rebuttal reiterating that President Obama is »a committed Christian.« (...)
Obama publicly perpetuated negative stereotypes of Christianity. From the pulpit of a church, speaking to a live audience about religious diversity, Obama sarcastically belittled America's Judeo-Christian heritage and degraded its adherents with trite remarks typical of any atheistic antagonist: »Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation«; »the dangers of sectarianism are greater than ever«; »religion doesn't allow for compromise«; »the Sermon on the Mount (is) a passage that is so radical that it's doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application«; and »to base our policymaking on such commitments (as moral absolutes) would be a dangerous thing.«
And the whole time I consider Obama's anti-Christian diatribes and religious rubbish, I keep coming back to the words of President George Washington in his presidential Farewell Address, advice our current president would be wise, especially now, to heed: »Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness, these firmest props of the duties of men and citizens. The mere politician, equally with the pious man, ought to respect and to cherish them.«
»A committed Christian«?
I guess I completely don't understand what the word »committed« means.”
