I’m not sure if my aunt sends me these types of things to provoke me, or if she has no idea what my political leanings are, or just doens’t think about who is on her recipient list . . . . I’m not an Obamaista (vote McKinney!) . . . but I found this incredibly ignorant and offensive. This was sent by my aunt’s church secretary on behalf of Dr. somebody-or-other and my aunt forwarded it to me:
Dear Friends,
As I was listening to a news program last night, I watched in horror as Barack Obama made the statement with pride. . .”we are no longer a Christian nation; we are now a nation of Christians, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists, . . . As with so many other statements I’ve heard him (and his wife) make, I never thought I’d see the day that I’d hear something like that from a presidential candidate in this nation. To think our forefathers fought and died for the right for our nation to be a Christian nation–and to have this man say with pride that we are no longer that. How far this nation has come from what our founding fathers intended it to be.I hope that each of you will do what I’m doing now–send your concerns, written simply and sincerely, to the Christians on your email list. With God’s help, and He is still in control of this nation and all else, we can show this man and the world in November that we are, indeed, still a Christian nation!
Please pray for our nation!
Really – people fought and died for the right for our nation to be a Christian nation? Ever hear of freedom of religion?
The only good thing was on the same day, I found this release where a minister and three Catholic Workers tried to do a citizens arrest of Karl Rove. What cracked me up was the judge’s response. You think he intended to say that, or it just slipped out?
