I’m thinking that we need to get denomination-specific religion out of the discussion.
John Leland (1754-1841), a friend of James Madison, led the Baptists in Virginia in the struggle for true religious freedom. “After the Constitution was adopted, Leland rejoiced that it would be possible for a ‘Pagan, Turk, Jew or Christian’ to be eligible for any post or office in the government.” (The Writings of John Leland, ed. L.F. Greene. New York: Arno Press, 1969, p. 191.)
Let’s elect a president who LOVES and defends the Constitution and the ideal of true liberty and freedom of religion. If the ideals of the Constitution are the #1 passion of a president, then every American’s equal freedom to worship will endure. If we lose that — and we are losing that — we (Christians) are screwed.
As a Baptist for 60+ years raised in a parsonage, and a conservative, a selfish goal would be for everyone in America to be evangelical Christian. But that would be so wrong under our Constitution. Everyone should be able to worship the way they want to — or not worship at all. By the same token, everyone should recognize others’ rights and not stifle them. Christians are being stifled now, and that’s because the Constitution isn’t being recognized.
Obama hates the Constitution. He hates America. He needs to be defeated if we’re to keep our freedoms.
“...Obama hates the Constitution. He hates America. He needs to be defeated if we’re to keep our freedoms.”
Obama also hates the teachings of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
