Activist: 'Pastor to presidents' (Billy Graham) replaced by gay bishop (Gene Robinson)
One News Now ^ | November 12, 2008 | Jim Brown

A conservative Christian activist says it's a sad omen for the Obama administration and the United States that Barack Obama has been seeking guidance from the Episcopal Church's first openly homosexual bishop.

The Times of London reports that the president-elect sought out New Hampshire homosexual bishop Vicki Gene Robinson for advice three times during his presidential campaign. Robinson, whose ordination in the Episcopal Church has caused a deep rift within the Anglican Communion, was reportedly sought out by Obama to discuss what it feels like to be "first."

Robinson notes in their three private conversations, Obama voiced his support for "equal civil rights" for homosexuals and described the election as a "religious experience." Peter LaBarbera, president of Americans for Truth About Homosexuality, believes Obama's consultations with Robinson show the true tenor of his upcoming administration.

"It looks like Billy Graham has been replaced by a gay bishop. We're moving to, perhaps, our first anti-Christian president; it's beyond post-Christian. Gene Robinson advocates homosexuality as part of the Christian experience," he explains. "Now Bible-believing Christians cannot accept that. Homosexual practice is sinful, as taught by the scriptures. This man [Obama] pretends to be faithful to Christianity, even as he works very hard to undermine it."

LaBarbera suggests Robinson may possibly replace Jeremiah Wright as one of Obama's main spiritual advisers. Wright was Obama's Chicago pastor for 20 years before disassociating with the controversial preacher during the presidential campaign.

I never thought I'd see the day when Wright would actually be the better choice of two spiritual advisors.

YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS STUFF UP!!

Why am I not surprised? Good thing Billy is probably too far gone to know anyway.

Just a foretaste of the future I guess. I suspect Obama will do to the US what Robinson did to the Episcopal Church. When things start to come apart at the seams, we will at least know who to thank for all that “great” advice.

Considering the President-Defect is a closet homo himself, this is very predictable.

Obama is an atheist. No spiritual advisor needed.

Guess he does play on both teams. Or maybe only one; Michelle always looks pretty mean and unhappy.
