The convention had approved the new platform, but when a firestorm erupted, a panicked Barack Obama hastily ordered God reinstated.
But when the amendment was offered to the convention by its chairman, Antonio Villaraigosa, the idea of restoring the name of God to the platform was hooted, jeered and booed by half the delegates on the floor, who three times howled, No!
The omission of God is being called an oversight. But the viral reaction to returning God, even when Obama asked that it be done, testifies that this was no accident. God was deleted deliberately.
"...These two world views [Christian theism vs naturalist, impersonal matter or energy shaped by impersonal chance] stand as totals in complete antithesis to each other in content and also in their natural results--including sociological and governmental results, and specifically including law.
It is not that these two world views are different only in how they understand the nature of reality and existence. They also inevitably produce totally different results. The operative word here is inevitably. It is not just that they happen to produce different results, but it is absolutely inevitable that they will bring forth different results..."
- Francis Schaeffer, A Christian Manifesto (1981), page 2.
“It is not just that they happen to produce different results, but it is absolutely inevitable that they will bring forth different results...”
Excellent quotes, thanks kindly for them.
And THIS is what is at the crux of the gay marriage issue, and why RINOs who say, “but what’s really the big issue?” are disastrously wrong: It is not incidental that the 2 views are different; they are two irreconcilable roads.
