CBNNews.com - CBN News has learned that President Obama will create a President's Council on Faith.

The council will be announced at Thursday's National Prayer Breakfast in Washington tomorrow.

The President has not been shy talking about his faith.

This new council will be made up of religious leaders across the ideaological spectrum.

Their main task will be to provide public policy input on faith related issues ranging from healthcare to poverty. They will meet regularly and discuss their ideas with the President.

The council will be part of an overall faith-based office.

The President is also expected to lay out his vision for that office at the prayer breakfast.

Will he come before the Lord and humble himself, turn from evil and repent of his wicked ways? Otherwise, he might as well be talking to the wall.

I am not afraid of Obama assaulting faith groups, I am afraid of him drugging and seducing them.

[For impaired readers --- not you, FWF---: that was a metaphor.]

It will be interesting to see if Americans United (AU)challenges this aggressively.

Yeh, which faith would he talk about? “God-damn America”? perhaps? Maybe ‘White Folks are from Satan?’ Would it be butts-up and bow towards Mecca? Just checking ...

What NOW about ‘separation of church and state’, Mr. little o?

Will the Council decide what we can believe and what is WRONG?

“Just remember, even the devil can quote scripture.”

It's his oldest trick in the book. Distort and manipulate to deceive the ignorant and make it seem like it's from God.

Obama is not a Christian.

He has never been baptized and strolling down the aisle at Rev. Wright's racist/Marxist “church” and pledging allegiance to the “Black Value System” does not make one a Christian.

The Council on Faith Relations?

Can we guess it will be headed by a liberal?

This group will consist of a broad selection of religious leaders who will all demand the moral necessity for increased welfare funding on every front; but will think that protecting the unborn is a murky personal issue which is “above their pay grade”. Worthless charlatans the lot of them.

When did healtcare and poverty become faith-related issues? And to the degree they are "faith-related", shouldn't the government ignore the faith-related aspects of them? Certainly establishing poverty programs because religion says we should take care of the poor is precisely the "establishment of religion" we are supposed to oppose.
