To: I still care

For instance, this one:

“Obama is Christian, thought the passages he receives from DuBois can encompass many faiths. It’s just one way of staying connected to his spirituality, advisers said.”

That’s like saying you are a conservative but for inspiration you read Worker’s World.

Or this one: “Obama’s spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jim Wallis, can’t understand with the “preoccupation” with if and when the Obamas will decide on a formal place in which to worship.”

This is one of the biggest fallacies non believers fall for. It sounds nice and all that, that your religion is in your heart and you don’t HAVE to do organized religion. But the sad truth is, it does not go with muscular Christianity. If you “forsake the gathering of yourselves together”, your Christianity tends to become weak and useless.

On Wallis:

Interview

Democrats complaining about the poor remind me of Judas complaining about the expensive oil that Jesus enjoyed. Wonder if Wallis (or Mr. Obama, for that matter) remember what Jesus said about the poor then.

Bueller, Bueller?
