When we keep our priorities straight, the hierarchy, we will always love God surpassingly above all else. Love of neighbor is a distant second priority which flows necessarily from the love of God.... But when we invert those two commandments, the result is "Liberation Theology" which of course is Obama's spiritual Christian roots.

What a brilliant insight, Alamo-Girl! When the "preferential option for the poor" is established as the main focus of religion, God is eclipsed; the proper hierarchical relation is inverted; and we lose the meaning of "the poor" stressed in Holy Scripture, which is not just a description of someone who is economically disadvantaged ("The poor ye shall always have with you"); but someone who is "poor in spirit," meaning: a man who walks with God in humility — meaning a man who puts God first in his life.

I certainly agree with your conclusion: "The consequence of such inverted true belief is socialism."

Thank you ever so much for you most perceptive essay/post, dearest sister in Christ! — and for your very kind words!

So very true, dearest sister in Christ. Thank you for your encouragements!

BTW, Obama's particular flavor of Liberation Theology is even more preferential, because it gives even higher priority to disadvantaged people of color.

Spiritual error twice over.

Socialism is in reality a second reality.. a closed system, that many buy into.. Ronaldus Maximus said it quite simply..
