Subtle Rantings

Ok, everyone needs to check this link out: Halloween and the Nativity Scene

This is an old acquaintance of mine from college. This is a very true and interesting perspective on our society and the times we live in right now.

Put up a Nativity Scene at the wrong place, BAM, lawsuit. A few witches and ghosts, no problem!

The name is Barack Obama. I recently read a feature article on him in Time magazine. I encourage everyone to read it. He is the son of an atheist mother and a muslim father. He claims to be a born again Christian while at the same time denying the existence of hell and the fact that salvation through Christ is NOT the only way to get to heaven. He believes there are multiple paths and ways to get there. The part that scares me most is the public’s gratuitous embrace of this man. The no-questions asked faith that he is the savior of the American government. He is charming, quick witted, and a good dresser. He is kind, soft, yet firm and steadfast in his convictions. We thought Clinton was slick? Heh, this guy is 100 times better.

I’m actually very impressed with him. You can’t help but smile as you think “Man, this guy is good!” Then my heart is saddened because I know America is so desparately seeking something they can believe in and something they can have hope in again, and I’m afraid they are going to look to him. They can’t see the hidden agenda’s, or see past the beaming smile, or the honesty and vulnerability he portrays. He doesn’t condemn anyone. He doesn’t judge. He loves everyone. Your beliefs are good and true and so are his. This is universalism I think if I remember correctly. Oh, did I mention he is NOT a Creationist, but believes in the Big Bang as the source of our universe? I don’t even have to tell you he’s Pro-Choice, I know you figured that one out.
