What Obama speaks of isn’t Christianity. Christianity is accepting Christ as our Savior and trying to live a life worthy of His grace. Christianity is acceptance of the inerrant testimony of the Bible. The point isn’t whether we fully understand it or not. The point is we accept it as God’s Word, whole and true. It is our belief that gives us justification because of what He sacrificed for us sinners. We don’t deserve that grace, nor can we earn it. It’s a gift and all we need do is accept it.
This is nothing of what Obama speaks. He speaks of Christians having to subdue their beliefs in order to create a more perfect society on Earth. He has no understanding that Christians don’t live for a perfect society on Earth. They live for what’s to come after this life is over. And with that in mind, why then should we subdue our beliefs? This life simply isn’t important in the grand scheme of things. But this belief of his is proof enough that Obama isn’t a Christian, doesn’t understand Christian belief, and simply uses the garment of Christianity to fulfill his Worldly desires.

Right. Atheists are filled with tragic thoughts, thinking that this is ‘all there is’. A tree falls ‘forever’. A bird dies and is ‘forever lost’. ‘You only live once’. Death is unspeakable. That helps explain the irrational priorities of the Left and why they view us as irrational for not freaking out over every ‘eternal’ loss.
That's as good as an atheist can get. Predatory atheists are much worse.
bcsco,
I am in awe of your post. I am a 47 y.o., newly baptized (Mothers Day 08) Christian. You said all that could be said. You are so correct. Our Belief is not about this world, but the next. The Word says what it says, and is constantly twisted by those who would see it diminished.
