I just ran across this audiciously titled book/picture, written by a Pastor [Mark] from Trinity Church, NYC...thought I'd share it in honor of the Empty Chair Convention tomorrow.

"The Gospel of Barack Hussein Obama According to Mark" is designed to initiate the reader into a meditation on what it means to be human, what it means to be a manifestation of God, and how Barack Obama is a unique and important manifestation of God’s desire for human flourishing. In a blend of words from his public speeches, imagined conversation, and fictional situations, the book highlights Obama’s real stance on social justice and, in particular, economic and political empowerment. It juxtaposes ancient Biblical form and contemporary reality, challenging the reader to see and seek God in all persons. “Our life-defining texts must be porous and we must be imaginative in our engagement with them.
Let this book be a reminder not to so credit sacred texts or cultural icons that they lead us to hatred and violence in the name of God. When we see the Divine in another, we must name it. We must respect it. The practice demands nothing less than Love.” Mark F. Bozzuti-Jones, Author

I have never in my life seen other Americans worship a human like a God until he was elected. That was stuff for other countries. American was an exception.
People like this author don’t know what it is to be an American.
And I’m seeing he believes Jesus was black.
I don’t need to know anything else.

The writer learned everything he knows about liberation theology from the Jesuits and even has a Masters of Divinity (he is a former priest)
The 23rd in the Age of Obama
Obama is my President, I really want him out
He maketh me to lie flat broke in a pile of weeds
He leadeth my house value under the waters
He restoreth my doubts and fears
He leadeth me into left field for Pete’s sake
Thy food stamps fail to comfort me
Yea though I walk through the valley of Wall Street
I will fear no loss (It is gone already)
Thou prepareth a cable TV dinner in the presence of thy pundits
Thou giveth me a headache with coal and oil….my gas tank is dry.
Surely the charge of racism will follow me all the days of my life.
And I will live with this debt forever.
Extra lines:
I shall fear all Republicans for He hath assured me
they cause cancer and death.
Thy celebrities they vex me.
Lo though the media is enthralled with Him
I can find no peace.
Oh
My
God....
This is as bad as any Communist or Fascist cult of personality.
I understand where you’re coming from but there are good Jesuits. I know some of them.
Yep. Just ran across this when I Googled “Obama + Branding”. Not my blog, BTW (but it nails it):
And they say we are the ones who want to impose our theocracy on them.
[...]I suppose there’s a certain allure of making unto oneself a god. That way the god reflects what you see as the best qualities you envision for yourself and is a handy standard against which to gauge others. So much more convenient than a god who calls you to be better in ways you’d rather not consider to be deficient The problem such an arrangement poses, however, especially when the new god is a human being, is when the god disappoints or is inevitably shown to have clay feet. Then the worshiper is forced either to turn on the god, claim that the god was a liar all along and what I fool I have been, or he is free to ignore/rationalize the contradictions, attack those who point out the contradictions as non-believers (shun the non-believers) (or as racists, partisans, ideologues, whatever) then deny that the god has ever changed position or that the issues the god has changed on are really that important, and do a little more idol development. Like write a book about how the god really, in its heart of hearts, is a god and we all are too focused on “tiny” matters to realize that. Silly mortals.[...] http://www.catholicvote.org/discuss/index.php?p=32902&utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
Now this is just plain weird. My brother turned me on to Knish’s blogspot this afternoon.

I’m liking it already.
I know it is posted here from time to time. Good stuff.
It’s when a great number of worshipers see the god is false, and yet there are still many true believers, that you then have a purge. They are always quite bloody, eventually consuming many of the true believers with the apostate.
That’s an excellent article. Thank you. This book is so far out there I wondered if it was a (brilliant) parody but being that he’s a pastor at Trinity Church makes it very plausible.
OK. I was brought up to not judge a book by its cover, so I clicked on the amazon link and looked inside the book - the first chapter. The outside is bad enough. The inside is smut. Stanley Ann Dun Him is the BVM!!
Yes, and that’s whats so scary. This time around though due to the inability of the marxistmedia to hid his clay feet, there appears to be less of the deification, and more of the racism. The demonization of Romney and Ryan, escewed factcheckers and racism is all they’ve got left.

Yawn alert! This is just your average Obama voter.
