http://www.barackobama.com/pdf/ObamaonFaith.pdfI sat in a hotel bar last night watching their big TV screen, when the news pops up with Senator Obama “going Christian”. A brochure with the Senator standing in front of a huge cross, touting “Faith and Morals” was plastered on the screen, and I felt the bile in my belly begin to boil.TRUE: In the above-listed PDF he gives sturdy lip-service to the separation of church and state, which is more than I can say for any other candidate (HILLARY!).I just can’t stomach when politicians literally promote prejudice by linking religion and morality. I feel offended at a deep and profound level when they unflinchingly throw secular people to the side and push their Jesus down everyone’s throat.To be clear, I’m not complaining that he is a Christian, or that he SAYS he’s a Christian, but when he USES Christianity and the LIE that morality and religion are linked JUST to get elected, I feel betrayed. Yes. That’s the word.
