No, you are wrong. Obama is a communist, Hope and Change have been buzz words of the CPUSA since the 20s and 30s. Communists believe in a world without God, they believe that man is supreme is capable of bringing order to the chaos of nature, but to do so, all non-believers must be controlled or purged.
That is what I meant by evil.
I know that Obama is not a Christian in the true sense of the word, but I also believe that he is not a Muslim. I think that he prefers the Muslim traditions to Christian traditions, but Obama is an atheist.
Touche’
I still think he acts out of dogma, however, and not malice. Can one do evil and not BE evil? Certainly. I child can kill without understanding of his actions. Obama does not understand, or refuses to face, the consequences of his beliefs.
No, communists know that their actions would be considered morally wrong by the Judeo Christian code of ethics, but they don’t adhere to the Judeo-Christian code of ethics because they don’t believe in God.
Communists believe in the power of man and man only. They believe that the end justifies the means, at all costs and they believe in purging anything or anyone who stands in their way. Communist policy is their religion. That makes them evil. They are in opposition to God and believers in God.
I’m reading a book called, The Witness, by Whitaker Chambers, the guy who testified against Alger Hiss. It details Chambers life journey as a member of the Communist Party, then the Communist Underground, until he had an epiphany and came to the conclusion that what the Communist party was doing was evil. Chamber was so distraught that he considered killing himself because he thought that the only way that he could get back to God was through suicide. Instead, he made a deal with God to work for freedom and so he testified against Alger Hiss.
