Both of you have done a good job of descontructing Obama’s pathological assault on religious views. In the big picture it may not matter that I am a Buddhist but I fully agree with you both about Obama. To my way of thinking he has demonstrated here that he is an extremely dangerous individual with a severe form of malicious narcissism. He is not at all a uniter. His words and actions show him to be deeply divisive and intentionally so.
His goal with the “Buddhist nation” comment was to get Buddhists to vote for him, of course. His goal is to get the non-Christian vote, from wherever the source, by attacking his “own faith” in an unsympathetic belittling way. No wonder he sauntered out of Islam and wandered into Christianity with no conversion or change in conviction. To him, its all “socio-political.” This is the view of a hardcore Marxist.
Does anybody remember that speech he gave to a group of evangelicals a few years ago, the “best speech on Religion in America in X years.” Then came the small town comment, now this. Why the change? Is he “testing the waters” for much more of this?
