I don’t understand it either.
I think maybe this guy is more in love with Obama’s skin color than his religious beliefs.

Obama has already failed the test of reaching out to Christians. He used them to get elected. He is THE MOST PRO-ABORTION POTUS in the history of the U.S. His policies will lead to the mass slaughter of tens of millions of the unborn. Those that assisted him, like Rick Warren should be held responsible.

Does he cling to his religion?

True Conservatives knew Bush’s “Faith initiative” is a bad idea. Now look who gets to run it.

Exactly.

When Bush installed the position in the WH conservatives applauded with not even considering that a future Democratic president would get to install his own guy in the job.

Socialism is EASILY refuted as unChristian.

Just step through the “horizontal” commandments, for one.

And here’s the real kicker:
2 Corinthians 9:7
7 You should each give what you have decided in your heart to give. You shouldn’t give if you don’t want to. You shouldn’t give because you are forced to. God loves a cheerful giver.

Nothing could say “socialism isn’t Godly” than this one passage.

It was a terrible idea. Like most “initiatives.” We all knew that once the leadership changed it would be run by a different crowd, who would just turn it into another stop on the (secular) socialist gravy train.

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof...”

Well, perhaps if Conservatives would have stood-up against Bush's creation of the Faith Based White House Office, the job would have never been created and Obama would not have to fill that job.

I can't get any real information on Josh Dubois. All the sites have been denied because of web filtering by my company.

“they violate the ‘constitutional mandate’ on separation of church and state.”

I am unfamiliar with the mandate of which you speak.

Hmmm... So I guess Obama’s “Operation Joshua Generation” WASN’T about stealing an idea from Christians, and didn’t have ANYTHING to do with the Biblical Joshua either! Now we know that this aspect of the campaign was most likely named after the person who RAN it...

Typical liberal idea that a religious outreach program would be named after the MAN running it!
