If Obama is not the anti-Christ, let him prove it and we can move on...

I’ve determined that he’s his warm-up act, but if he declares himself president-for-life, I will perhaps reconsider.

Europe is cattleland. Just a bunch of land for the Russians or Chinese or Islamics (or all of the above) to eventually conquer and rape. Let these “superior” atheist sissies beg for the help of “backward” and religious America while they hysterically try to fight off the mad bear or dragon with their pink Louie Baton purses.

Centuries of bloodshed over God finally persuaded Europeans to extricate religion from political life....

Stopped here at the atheist's tired old screed.

And what did they get? "Peace for our time." It worked out pretty well for Europe and Neville Chamberlain, wouldn't you say?

Send them to Pakistan or ISIL and run the same story using allah in place of Christ and see how long their heads remain connection to the rest of their bodies.

Presumably the anti-christ would have difficulty advocating Biblical righteousness and instead would embrace all things depraved. That describes Obama to a t.

No.
The lack of God is the problem.

The anti-christ stuff is just plain stupid and diverts us from the task at hand.

Oh, really? They have? Set aside for a moment about the influence of Islam in Europe - Everyone worships something.

It may be science, it may be self, money, the earth, beauty, sex, drugs, - whatever determines the priorities in your life IS your god.

Agreed.

First task: Adjourn both houses of Congress for a long holiday and go drink much alcohol.

Second task: Hope the voters don't believe what their lying eyes are plainly seeing and go drink some more.

Third task: What, me worry?

This writer is obviously an atheist. As he is excoriating those who are Christians, he should be reminded that the atheistic Communist regimes of the 20th century perpetrated horrific and inhumane acts of violence in the name of the state, which is a religion. It appears that the influence of traditional Christian religion seems to innoculate against this kind of violence. I saw a pie chart recently that showed all of the wars which have taken place throughout history and 97% of those were non-religious. So, all the atheists out there had better hope that Christianity survives so they can continue to live in a society which, at least, values freedom.

God is not the problem. He has been pushed out of sight and He has taken His Blessings with Him.

Dear Lord, please come back and we would love it if you would see fit to kick Obama in the @$$. Amen and Amen.

Obama is not THE anti-Christ. He’s certainly anti-Christian. He’s a Muslim Marxist illegal alien.

The anti-Christ will be much smarter.

One thing is clear: The dupes of Obama, and the anti-Christ, SELF-SELECT. Those who are spiritually and intellectually dead can look at a politician who is vociferously in favor of chopping babies into pieces and accept that he is a “Christian.”

(1 Jn 4:2-3)
This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.

Well stated and 100% spot on!

Is God The Problem With American Politics?

YES!!!!

The complete abscense of God in the Democrat political party is a major problem.
It is not just their intolerance of God that is a problem it also extends to their trying to drive him from all the American citizens.
