Once again, it was the way this was worded. “who do you consider a hero?”. Most people are not going to see God as a “hero”. God is GOD, and most people know the difference, which is good news.

This is exactly why America will not be rescued in the time of tribulation.

Does it really surprise anyone that Zero comes in ahead of Jesus Christ? Some people prefer false idols rather than the genuine article.

“This question was first asked in a Harris Poll in 2001. In that survey Jesus Christ was the hero ...”

Funny, I never saw that mentioned [ever] in the MSM....

Jesus only provided bread and fish. BO has promised mortgage bailouts, free health care, free college education and more food stamps for the fattest among us. No wonder they have put their faith in The One.

Things to remember...

respondents weren’t given a list from which to choose

Even Obama would likely be embarrassed by this

Jesus didn’t come because the world needed a hero. He came because the world needed a savior

carry on
