First lady Michelle Obama Thursday offered a rare public reflection on her religious faith, telling a conference of the African Methodist Episcopal church that the life of Jesus Christ is a model for democratic organizing. “It’s kind of like church,” Obama said. “Our faith journey isn’t just about showing up on Sunday for a good sermon and good music and a good meal.

The Obamas appreciate those citizens who are willing to be crucified by tyrannical governments.

“Time and again, history has shown us that there is nothing – nothing – more powerful than ordinary citizens coming together for a just cause,” Obama said.

The "just cause" this time being the repeal of Obamacare/TAX.

Funny, somehow I missed the Scripture where Jesus approved of all kinds of abortion and same sex marriage.

I wonder if Michelle defines “sin” as “being out of alignment with her values.”

Just curious.

"Thou shall not covet thy neighbors goods." How do you feel about this particular commandment, Moochelle? How about the other 9?

The democrats pick out parts of the Bible they like, and try to outlaw all those they don't. That's the democrat form of Christianity.

Seriously! That’s some funny stuff! I don’t tend to be a religious person but I’m under the impression that Jesus was not a man that endorsed homosexuality, perversion or murder by abortion as a way to a good life or community. Just WOW!

One wonders if her, and her husband, cite Jesus’ command to ‘do unto others as you would have them do unto you’ when it comes to their sanctioning and legislating the approval of ripping unborn babies apart, limb from limb.

Perhaps their own souls’ journey to God’s promised land may be aborted. Serves ‘em right.

Uhh “moochelle” Jesus was born(around 3 BC) in Bethlehem in Judea during Roman Rule therefore he was NOT a “citizen” He was a DOUBLE “subject”;
1. of “King(vassel)” Herod
2. Rome

Yes, like the righteous TEA Party - The Bible says "If you don't work, you shouldn't eat."

No man should be used as another mans slave. The TEA Party has it right. They truly do work for a noble cause - the total elimination of slavery for one and for all.

This has got to be the most nauseating news item this year - including the SCOTUS decision and the guy who got his face eaten off.
