Why Our President Will Not Host National Day of Prayer
The Voice Magazine ^ | May 7, 2009 | Dr. Luauna Stines

Posted on 05/07/2009 8:32:44 AM PDT by truthnomatterwhat

SAN DIEGO, May 7 -- Why would our President cease holding National Day of Prayer Ceremonies at the White House during the most turbulent economic times in our nation? When his constituents are looking to his leadership for the hope and change he promised during the his campaign? When he constantly quoted scriptures and the Bible at campaign stops along his road to the White House? Our President has do so since 1988, used Christianity to gain political advantage and earn the position of President.

Conservatism was birthed out of the Bible and Christianity as was the United States of America. Our founding fathers were Christians first and politicians second. Conservatism, morals, and values apart from the Bible and Christianity are powerless words mouthed by politicians from every party even radio/TV talk show hosts.

He is scum, who has no rational idea of the impact of his actions.

Obama is likely an atheist. He uses religion only to help him get elected.

You could say that about 99.9% of all politicians on both sides of the aisle.

“Could it be the same reason that when O was sworn
in the second time, there was no Bible, either”

...the 1st swearing in was a mistake done on purpose. The 2nd was more his speed...w/o a Bible. Both were a mistake by the American people.

He’s a pathetic excuse for a “man”

...I refer to him as the “Pathetic Excuse for a Human Being of the United States of America”. (PEHBUSA)

According to TIME, approximately 25% of white Evangelicals voted for Obama. While this is far more than Kerry received, it is still small. Obama received 53% of the Catholic vote and 68% of those who never attend services.

There are so few times to unify the many religious people in this country. Why waste it on a PC stand?
It would have simply been a continuation of tradition.
But it will be seen as more divisive actions from a ‘secular progressive’.

“We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion. Avarice, ambition, revenge or gallantry would break the strongest cords of our Constitution as a whale goes through a net. Our Constitution is designed only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for any other.”

John Adams

“Neither the wisest Constitution nor the wisest laws will secure the liberty and happiness of a people whose manners are universally corrupt.” Samuel Adams

Silver lining in BOZerO not quoting scripture with his flawed interpretations. Remember this classic?

Obama’s Sermon on the Mount citation
Mar 6, 2008 / 05:09 am (CNA).- Democrat presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama in a speech before a Hocking College crowd on Sunday claimed that the Sermon on the Mount justifies his support for legal recognition of same-sex unions, Cybercast News Service reports.

Why it was cancelled, from RedState:

1. Because when your god is the government, it does not want your prayers, just your tithes

2. Because stopping five times a day to pray causes a back log in the work.

3. There is no need to pray when you are your own god.

4. The secret service thought it would give away exactly where Obama might be in the White House at a given time to see all the staff praying in his direction.

5. When your faith is in the money printing press, you pay, not pray.

I don't think 99.9% of all politicans use religion only to win elections. While a significant number do, I believe most have some core religions beliefs that influence their daily lives, rightly or wrongly. Bush, for example, clearly used religion to win elections, but I believe his faith also had a strong influence on his life.

With Obama on the other hand, it seems to me religion has no use or influence except to win elections.

“I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.” 1 Timothy 2:8

But you know we could go back and forth with these all day...I think the ignoring the National Day of Prayer is significant with BHO in light of all the other disturbing things about him.

When Obama was a child, he studied Islam. When he grew up, he got his "religious" training in Rev Wright's church. I'm not sure who Obama prays to, but I'm betting it's Allah!
