Why is Obama Changing “Freedom of Religion” to “Freedom of Worship”?

It's the language of relativism and political correctness. "Worship" reduces the issue to the mere style and manner of prayer and worship in ceremonies. Religion implies the wider theology, religious ideology and moral teachings which apply to the conduct of life, good vs. evil, etc. Christianity is not just about how people should "worship" privately on Sundays in church services. There are people who play a language game claiming that Christianity is not a "religion" or who like to limit discussions of theological doctrines and moral teachings. And there are secularists and agnostics opposed to all religion who view the "freedom of worship" as quaint and a concession but one which should be kept private and out of the public sphere entirely - i.e., no civic prayer, no prayer in schools, no Christmas Nativity displays in public, no public discussions of religion or religious morality wherever they can file a grievance with the ACLU or the Supreme Court to prohibit that.

Obama doesn't attend Church so people can guess at where he fits in.

Freedom of religion is freedom to picket the abortion clinics, teach publicly, profess your faith publicly.

This is the kind of freedom that scares the Left the most.

All evil in the world comes from rejecting God as God.

And then, someone may query, what about all these “religious” people who turn out to be power mad and/or lust freaks?

My answer:

They might have been sincere at one time (or not). But somehow, they fell for the worst lie and trick of all:

“Yes, I am a holy man/holy woman, I am really good, not as bad as (those icky sinners of choice). Since God has had mercy on me, that makes ME special [not that His mercy is so great it falls even on a lowly person such as myself!].”

Such so-called “spiritual” pride is not only the worst of all, it is the very seed of all that is bad. It is envy of God.

A truly humble servant of God experiences that His love and mercy coming to me is not because I am good, but beacuse HE is Good and loves even the most sinful and fallen. And He is so great, He can change the hearts of the most degraded and fallen. Who would not strive to love such a wonderful Lord?

The saddest thing is that people like the author are blocking their hearts from real life, real love and real happiness, by their very attempts to be “happy”.

We can always pray for Hope and Change...and the passing on on some of those folks...well...I’ll end my comment there. ;o)

BTW, I know some of them, and love them, but...

Elections have consequences. The American people chose the obamation, and are not finding just what they bought.

And I don't expect that the November elections will help as much as we hope. Obama has shown he is willing to just go around Congress and has contempt for the USSC.

But in the end, Me and my house will serve the Lord.

So his fellow muzzies will be free to moon the heavens and innocent bystanders 5 times a day any place they can drop their prayer rugs?

As they already are... The Zero is working for the Enemy. Whether knowingly or not - he is working for the Enemy. More and more people are becoming aware of what that means as his mask slips down a little bit more each day. And they are rising up and refusing his leadership. It’s already happening and shows no signs of stopping or slowing down.
