MEMBER DIARY

America’s First Minority Atheist President

There, Is That Better? Sheesh

“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” -(Matthew 7:15)

“The old prophet answered, “I too am a prophet, as you are. And an angel said to
me by the word of the LORD: ‘Bring him back with you to your house so that he
may eat bread and drink water.’” (But he was lying to him.)”-(1 Kings 13:18)

“This is what the LORD Almighty says: “Do not listen to what the prophets are
prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from
their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.”-(Jeremiah 23:16)

“For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.” -(2 Corinthians 11:13-15)

“They profess to know God, but they deny him by their works. They are detestable, disobedient, unfit for any good work.” -(Titus 1:16)

“You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and has nothing to do with the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”- (John 8:44)

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”- (1 John 4:1)

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.” -(Matthew 7:21-23)

And as is the case, in Matthew 7:20, “And you will know them by their fruits, as men are, so are the doctrines they preach”. Simple and plain, right there for the average American to read and decide for themselves. No need for any so called right wing pundit or politically connected televangelist to tell you what the word of God has already told you before President Barack Obama came into existence. His kind has been on this earth for thousands of years, and such as it is, will be on the earth long after he’s passed away.

And with his second inauguration Mr. Obama becomes the first minority to win back to back presidential elections, making him the first second term minority president in history. He is also America’s first atheist president to not only win an election the first time four years ago, but to win reelection in 2012 when he defeated former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney.

What did I miss? Or did you miss what I said? Forgot about the birthers out there who claim the president was born in Kenya and that he’s really a secret Muslim. Furthermore, don’t listen to those who would tell you he’s a Christian, they also lack evidence to back their claim. President Obama is neither Muslim or Christian, neither follower of Christ Jesus or the teacher Mohammad.

How can one be Christian and openly support the ways of the world? For even those who claim to be Christian and support homosexual lifestyles, same sex marriage, and abortion in its most radical form are not Christian, but those who express in the air the name of Christ but in the dark curse his name. The bible says it clear as the blue sky: By their fruits they will be known, as men are, so are the doctrines they preach. Therefore if we are known by the fruit we bear, and that of the doctrines and ideas we promote and express, isn’t it so that we are what we say and do? If one smokes pot are they a pot smoker? Is an alcoholic one who drinks uncontrollably? Then what is a denier of Christ and a denier of the Gospel? Our president is in favor of two persons of the same sex coming together in marriage, is that not against the Christian faith? Again, those in the body of Christ who support same sex marriage are not Christians but false prophets and false believers.

God did not deem a man and a man or a woman and a woman holy alongside a man and a woman. Again, I go to the word of my Father in heaven: (1 Corinthians 6) “Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders

On the issue of abortion, can one be Christian and support in such a radical and vile way as our president the concept of disposing innocent life? President Obama as a state senator in Illinois supported infanticide and partial birth abortion measures. The apostles made it crystal clear, “you shall not kill that which is born”. If a Christian supports and promotes the act of killing that which is born, what does that make them? What do they become or what does it reveal about their true nature? God commands, “Thou shall not kill”, the president certainly hasn’t committed murder but is there really a bold line between supporting and protecting murder and committing the act ? What’s the difference between a mafia boss who gives the order for a hit, and the hitman who carries out that order?

God was removed from the Inaugural prayer yesterday. Much respect due to Katie Pavlich over at Townhall for the story. Apparently God was removed from the prayer given at one of the events. Now, I’m not blaming this one on President Obama, but it just seems sort of contradictory when you take an oath on the bible, two in this case, you receive prayer at an African American Episcopalian Church, yet God was removed from the Inaugural prayer at an event honoring the president. So if they removed God, whom most people pray, then who were they praying to?

I’ve been saying for quite some time that President Obama is an atheist and should come clean about it. He’s worn the costume of Christianity but his words and his actions tell us who he really is. What may be in his bible may not be in his heart. At the very least he’s a carnal Christian hypocrite, at worst he’s an atheist using the Gospel and the life and teachings of Jesus Christ for his own political gain; which is far worse that being an outright God denier.

What’s sad is that while President Obama tries to deny the existence of God and that of his word, the media is trying to make President Obama a god.

“Thou shall not have other gods before me” True words spoken by the living God, and apparently the god of media, Hollywood, Democrats, and some 90% of African Americans who voted in 2008 and 2012: Barack Obama.

    I suspect that you are right about Obama being an atheist but I suspect that you are wrong about him being the *first* atheist president.

  • tyman

    For all of those who would say that “Jesus preached tolerance, love and understanding”, they must’ve missed the part about “ye are of your father, the devil” when he addressed the Scribes and Pharisees, as you mentioned above. God truly is love, but his love can NEVER supercede His holiness. He is a holy God, first and foremost, and His love comes FROM His holiness. Just as the devil’s hatred comes from his evilness.

    I am upset about Obama, and EE lost me when he says that he doesn’t believe the president is intentional in his destruction of America. I refuse to believe that a bum off the street would cause as much chaos as Obama…his destruction is systematic, not happenstance.

    And for anyone that says, “How can a Christian be so judgmental?”. Christ said that we should know men by their fruits. Furthermore, as Paul states in I Corinthians, the righteous are given the ability to judge the world with spiritual things. By having the spirit of Christ, I can see the devil’s devices (kind of a secret decoder ring, if you will, that someone who lacks that spirit doesn’t possess).

    When Obama used the scripture out of context “to whom much is given, much is required” to justify raising taxes on the wealthy, that gave me more insight into the fact that this man is NOT Godly, nor does he understand the holy scriptures. I can’t state whether he is a Muslim for sure, but his “love” of the sound of the call to prayer and his calling it “the holy Quran”, and referring to its teachings are “fruit” that he is.

    I’m not sure that Obama is an atheist…that’s a complete lack of belief in God…but hell is reserved for the one who believes, and still doesn’t accept Christ as well as those who don’t believe at all. I believe it’s James who writes that “the devils believe also, and fear and tremble”.

    Obama gets my prayers, as I am a man of faith who believes that God has all power and can turn anyone around. Just look at what he did to Nebuchadnezzar: that is his testimony in the book of Daniel, after God turned him around.

    God can use a wicked man to show a sharp contrast to those who would believe, and don’t. When Moses came down from the mount after receiving the 10 Commandments, the children of Israel felt condemned, and wanted NO PART of the beauty that caused Moses’ face to shine….they wanted a veil over Moses’ face so they would NOT feel condemned.

    I pray daily for our country as well as our leaders!

    • norris

      I agree with most of your post except ,except the part about tolerance.

      I don’t believe that tolerance is a Christian virtue .

      It is wrong not to oppose evil.

      Difficult as it seems ,there is not much common ground between good and evil.

      • tyman

        I must’ve communicated it poorly; tolerance isn’t expected to be a Christian virtue. I’ve heard over and over from people that know next to nothing about Christianity that Jesus preached love and tolerance…they’re simply not reading the same Bible I am. No man can serve two masters. Either Christ saves you completely, or you are not saved. There’s no gray area. I can’t remember who said that “tolerance is the last virtue of a man with no principles” or something like that, but it’s true. Good and evil are as opposite as day and night. As I said, God’s love NEVER supercedes His holiness: Holiness cannot be compromised, and we should never compromise that holiness in our lives in the form of tolerance for evil. NEVER.

  • kipling

    Mr. Obama is not an atheist. He is also not a Christian. He holds positions in direct defiance of Scripture and probably knows little about the actual tenets of Christianity. As you said, he wears a mask. However, I am sure he serves a god – the false god of this world. As such he is a false prophet preaching the gospel of big government as the messiah that will deliver us all.

  • westcoastpatriette

    I don’t think Obama is an atheist. He believes in lots of gods — especially himself.

  • Jim_Riggs

    I don’t believe the president is an atheist and I personally don’t care.

    • avgjo

      Well, a lot of us do. A person’s religion bears much on their moral outlook, and their moral outlook bears much on their conduct, personal and political (which are often one and the same). I suppose it is to us that this diary is directed.

      • Jim_Riggs

        So tell me, which religions are the most moral?

        • avgjo

          I’m not sure that you can measure religions in the way you say. Religions are the sources of morals.

          I’m a Christian; I think it’s pretty clear where I stand.

          I do know that the American institutions of equality, rule of law and individual rights did emerge from a pagan culture (Greco-Roman), strongly tempered by the Judaeo Christian ethic, especially the one that all are created equal*. Did it take a while for this to be instituted in practice? Sure. But where else in the world did this development take place to the same extent without intervention from the aforementioned Western powers?

          India – caste system, with Dalits (‘untouchable’), a Hindu institution

          Islamic Middle East – nuff said.

          Islamic Indonesia – honor killings and killings for the ‘crime’ of converting from Islam are standard fare – emanate directly from religion.

          I do like Buddhism. The only thing that bothers me about that religion (as far as it’s practice – as a Christian I take issue with its ‘many paths to God’ tenets, obviously; epistemologically, i take issue with their idea that ‘X and not-X’ is a valid logical construct) is the emphasis on fate. I wonder if this has fostered much of the lack of value for human life that has plagued Asia for centuries.

          the proof’s in the pudding, IMO.

          * Before the idea of imago Dei in man, you saw a distinction in the ancient world between human life that had value and human life that did not. Q.V. the absolute power over the lives of slaves held by their ‘owners’ and the gladiatorial contests, for starters.

          • Jim_Riggs

            “Religions are the sources of morals.”
            So, if a person isn’t religious does that mean they have no morals?

          • avgjo

            No. Everyone has morals. Hell, Hitler had morals. Which morals are we talking about? Two of the best people (with respect to morals) that I’ve known have have been atheists. I will say that they did grow up in traditionally-Judaeo-Christian societies and that they had taken those morals as part of their own make up. But then you also have atheists like the ones that ran the USSR and Red China, just as you had ‘Christians’ who ran the Inquisition and Crusades. Either of those guys I think would make fine presidents. But i know them personally, and I have known them a long time. I could not hold it against a Christian who does not know these guys for not wanting to vote for them. Religious people do tend to ‘cling’ to their beliefs, because of the fear of a judgment in the next world. Atheists have no such binds. (That does not mean that all atheists are potentially bad people.) Again, the proof’s in the pudding. While the Crusades and Inquisition (the militant atheist’s favorite examples to point out of ‘Christian’ violence) were quite dreadful, the general devaluation of human life that occurred under atheistic regimes has proven itself to be far greater in extent, vehemence and extent. At the least the people who grossly misinterpreted the Bible could be understood to be acting under a belief of subjection to a higher power. What’s the reason of the ‘enlightened’ atheists of the communist regimes? Even the ‘soft’ socialist countries currently populated by and run by atheists (like practically all of Europe) have this broad devaluation of human life – q.v. death panels, euthanasia policies, widespread abortion, etc. As we see the rise of ‘scum villages’ (as in Amsterdam) for those who do not toe the party line, I would not be surprised to see atrocities a la Hitler carried out in those countries, either. In America, at the forefront of the movement to devalue human life are many academics, politicians and activists who either don’t believe in God, or who are outright hostile to the concept.

            I am not sure Obama is an atheist, neither am I sure he isn’t. He may well like many of the tenets of Black liberation theology, just as my atheist friends like many of the tenets of Christianity; live by them, but they don’t have to believe in the existence of a God. I do know that Obama displays the same caprice and disregard for rules and morals as atheists like Stalin and Mao. (the only difference is that he cannot (yet) rely on the US military to crush opposition like those bstrds).

          • Jim_Riggs

            “No. Everyone has morals.”
            I’m glad you feel that way. I’m not sure that most people here do. I too am a Christian, to paraphrase Thomas Jefferson, “in the only sense he wished anyone to be.” It’s organized religion I have problems with.

          • avgjo

            I understand your issues with organized religion. To be honest, i struggle with it myself many times.

            I try to be reasonable. More importantly, i try to be honest.

            This incident from my youth might illustrate why:

            I was raised as an evangelical (which I still claim). We were taught that the Bible is the inerrant Word of God (which I still believe). Anyway, many of my friends were Christian, at least nominally, but also a number were either of other religions, or not particularly religious at all (my parents do not believe in cloistering ourselves). In high school, in my senior year, there was a group of kids that wore it on their sleeves that they went to so-and-so church and were in so-and-so youth group. Since they were part of a mainstream denomination, since they were ‘cool’ (the girls were very pretty, for instance) and since we grew up in an area that was not at all hostile to Christianity, they were well-regarded. I didn’t know them well, but I thought they were good kids. That year, i had a good friend who had decided at the time that he was an atheist. We’d go back and forth (we were both science, language and philosophy nerds) but in a civil manner. Anyway, some of those ‘cool kids’ ,I and my friend were in the same class. I remember one of those kids embarassed me by berating my friend for holding his beliefs, in a very stupid way, basically telling him that he was dumb for not believing in God, and that’s it. Later that year, the same religious kid, when we ALL failed a test in that class (advanced physics for HS), made a very disrespectful and vulgar comment about the teacher. My friend and I heard him. I was deeply embarrassed, and my friend was offended for the teacher – he was a deeply respectful guy.

            That taught me a lot.

          • westcoastpatriette

            I think every true follower of Christ has to work through issues related to organized religion. I have come to terms with it in my own life so that it is a great insult to me when someone refers to me as “religious.”

            More than anything else, Jesus’ purpose was to reconcile mankind to God so that we could have a vibrant, personal relationship with Him. And there is absolutely no denominational religious requirement to do so. Jesus must be dismayed at all of the denominations and schisms in the body of Christ and I do my best to stay away from all of them yet continue to recognize that I am a member in the body of Christ.

            That’s why I have never been a member in a denominational church — just solid non-denominational churches where I could study and learn the basics. Denominations usually start out great but have a tendency to become ossified until survival of the denomination becomes the focus rather than a relationship with Christ. Don’t want to go there.

          • avgjo

            Yes ma’am. You put far better than I could. Thank you. I was leery of stating that I am a Christian who struggles with issues dealing with organized religion because I did not want to give a God-hater any ammo. Your response puts those worries to rest. If anyone reading this discourse reads with an honest heart and mind I think they’ll understand that criticisms of phenomena that occur around institutions of religion in no wise reflect criticisms of the Object of that religion, the Living God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Who is beyond any reproach.

  • Spike

    You wrote above

    ‘What may be in his bible may not be in his heart.’
    His heart? Perhaps we should submit a missing persons report for his heart…. how else can one vote for the killing of innocents?

  • sabote

    So Bill Clinton isn’t a Christian either, since he supports gay marriage and abortion?

    Dick Cheney supports gay marriage, but not abortion. So is he half-Christian?

    Thanks for the clarification.
