Americans shouldn't elect Barack Obama for President...

Add me to the list!

I agree with the growing number of people in the Christian community who are making the case that Americans shouldn't elect Barack Obama as the next president of the United States. I find myself in the company of people like Bill Keller, James Dobson, former NFL player and pastor Dr. O'Neal Dozier, Dr. Gary Cass, and Rev. Jesse Lee Peterson, who all believe the Illinois senator would be a bad choice.

Focus on the Family's James Dobson took aim at Obama this week on his radio show, saying he things the Democratic candidate is "deliberately distorting the traditional understanding of the Bible to fit his own worldview, his own confused theology." Dobson and others are particularly upset by Obama's support of gay marriage, abortion rights, and partial-birth abortion, as well as his tendency to favor a socialistic philosophy in government.

For my fellow Christians who are "on the fence" when it comes to the November election, consider the following:

- Obama has been a strong defender of the abortion industry, as demonstrated by his speaking appearance at a Planned Parenthood convention.

- He has been sympathetic to the cause of gay marriage. He recently appeared in the gay magazine Advocate.

- Obama has said that there are many ways to heaven -- which flies in the face of claims by Christ himself who said He is the only way to God. In a response to Dobson and other Evangelicals, Obama has stated that "folks haven't been reading their Bible." Yet Obama's belief in the "big tent" of salvation (with there being "many paths to God") runs completely contrary to scripture.

- The sacrifice of Christ on the cross becomes meaningless in Obama's worldview, according to Jesse Lee Peterson. Peterson, an ordained minister and director of the Brotherhood of a New Destiny, recently appeared on my local TV show. Dr. Gary Cass, founder of Christian Anti-Defamation League agrees. "Why did Jesus have to die in the first place?" Cass asks. "Christians believe Christ had to bear the punishment for their sins and only personal faith in Christ in Christ's death and resurrection can save [us] from eternal judgment."

- Obama would likely nominate extremely liberal Supreme Court justices if he is elected, so contends Dr. O'Neal Dozier. Rev. Dozier, pastor of The Worldwide Christian Center in Florida, is appalled at the ignorance many black Christians have pertaining to the Democratic presidential candidate. Obama, notes Dozier, has made it crystal clear that he would appoint future Supreme Court justices in the mold of Justice Ginsberg -- a former ACLU counsel who has shown by her court decisions that she believes the high court should do more than interpret the law. Obama's Supreme Court nominees would dramatically affect legal opinion for a generation. Case law involving free speech, freedom of religion, and the continued slaughter of millions of babies will depend on the make-up of this court. Dozier is deeply concerned that many black Christians will end up voting for Obama "simply because he is black." It is Dozier's opinion that many black pastors "are weak spiritually," making it difficult for them to take a moral stand on cultural issues (i.e., abortion, gay "marriage," religious freedom, monogamy and government dependency). Dozier sees the need for pastors in his community to teach Christians the importance of living right before God.

"The media has given [Obama] a free pass" when it comes to his core beliefs, says Keller. Like Dobson, Petterson, Dozier, and Cass, Keller questions some of Obama's basic core religious beliefs. "He doesn't believe in Hell…Obama has stated that even though his mother didn't believe in Christ as her Savior, she is in Heaven." Regarding Obama's almost 20-year association with Trinity Church, Keller said that "two of my board members are from Chicago -- and Trinity has always been known as a radical church ... one that [promotes] black separatism and black liberation theology."

Not only does he support abortion, he has voted in favor of partial birth abortion.
Not only is he for partial birth abortion, he is also for finishing the job (killing) the baby, if the abortion failed.

In my opinion, how can we as Christians (followers/obeyers of Jesus and His Word ---unless you are a phony pretend Christian who will here the words, "Depart from Me, ... I never knew you...") even possibly consider such a person? SIMPLE...

Answer=Moral Decay in our Nation (due to the removal of God and His Word from schools, and everywhere), our so called politcal correctness in never wanting to offend anyone...even when it's the truth (and so be it if the truth hurts...let it hurt and learn from it!), and the very simple, but true fact that, "Liberalism is a mental disorder" as stated by Michael Savage.
