Most churches can’t endorse any political candidates for fear of losing their tax status. Apparently we are bending the rule a little here? During Obamas speech to the congregation in Louisiana he is quoted as saying:
“The rains descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house. But it did not fall, because it was founded on the rock,” he continued. That rock, he said, was a principal of brotherhood exemplified by the church during Hurricane Katrina — but not the federal government. “Something was wrong in America. Our foundation wasn’t built on the rock,” he said.
I have no doubt that Obama is right about the Church and it being the rock in the days following Hurricane Katrina. But when have you heard a presidential candidate, a democrat at that, claim that our government should be based on the church?…The Christian Church? He seems a nice bloke…I mean brotha… but how does a anyone particularly a democrat vote for a person that says that? If a republican said these things everyone would be shouting Jeus Camp! I mean sure we all know about Jesus Camp and how they are building Gods Army by making this a “Christian nation” but Obama is coming from the total opposite field saying similar things.
Another thing…whats the deal with Assemblys of God and their Hitler looking prayer. I’m just saying!
Just a dude with a blog that probably shouldn't have one.
