"The Gospel of Barack Hussein Obama According to Mark" is designed to initiate the reader into a meditation on what it means to be human, what it means to be a manifestation of God, and how Barack Obama is a unique and important manifestation of God’s desire for human flourishing. In a blend of words from his public speeches, imagined conversation, and fictional situations, the book highlights Obama’s real stance on social justice and, in particular, economic and political empowerment. It juxtaposes ancient Biblical form and contemporary reality, challenging the reader to see and seek God in all persons. “Our life-defining texts must be porous and we must be imaginative in our engagement with them.

Let this book be a reminder not to so credit sacred texts or cultural icons that they lead us to hatred and violence in the name of God. When we see the Divine in another, we must name it. We must respect it. The practice demands nothing less than Love.” Mark F. Bozzuti-Jones, Author

This stuff is no longer just goofy; it has become blasphemous! I would not want to be in that dude’s shoes when God decides that “The One” has crossed the line. It has happened before!

Acts 12:21 thru 23 And upon a set day Herod, arrayed in royal apparel, sat upon his throne, and made an oration unto them. And the people gave a shout, saying, It is the voice of a god, and not of a man. And immediately the angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory: and he was eaten of worms, and gave up the ghost.

I have never in my life seen other Americans worship a human like a God until he was elected. That was stuff for other countries. American was an exception.

I wonder how the Democrats who voted for FDR for 4 terms felt.

Certainly when I attended Catholic school in the 1970s, we learned of Saint Kennedy.

Democrats seem to love this sort of thing.
