OBAMA SHOULD PRAY THIS VIDEO GETS BANNED
Pundits, politicos and normal people have been politely saying hello to the 500 pound gorilla in the room, but just wait till the gorilla starts talking back.
The gorilla in question? Barak Obama’s faith.
The Rev. Jeremy Wright controversy was more about Wright than it was Obama so Barak was able to put that aside rather quickly. All that will change if the massive evangelical voting machine takes hold of Obama’s comments in this video.
Christians know that the Old Testement is full of ancient ceremony and obligation on the part of the Jewish people that was, in part, eliminated or replaced with new laws and obligations from the New Testament. In short, for Obama to claim that the Bible endorses slavery is just morally bankrupt.
Furthermore, the Sermon on the Mount is the seminal teaching by Jesus on how Christians should behave. Barak Obama basically scoffed at it in this video.
The more Evangelicals look at Obama’s take on the Bible, his allegience to Rev. Wright and the questions about his statements regarding faith, the harder it will be for these people to consider voting for him. In fact, instead of staying at home, they may feel obligated to vote for John McCain in order to keep Obama out of office.
In summation. DON’T COUNT HILLARY OUT JUST YET.

so this is what is going to derail obama (sarcasm). he’s actually trying to have a conversation about his faith while mccain zings one liners from his stump speaches. mccain seems to only have faith when it suits him politically (he threw his wack-job preachers under the bus rather quickly).
nevermind the fact that, in the last few days, mccain has endorsed the draft and got confused about how many houses he owns.

He claims to be a Christian? What bible is he reading? Perhaps he should also look into what political party started slavery…the DEMOCRATS. BTW, Obama, MLK Jr. was a Republican and a Christian…you are neither.

the Bible is a set of stories that can be interpreted many ways. just because obama isn’t viewing the Bible like tyra doesn’t mean its any different. i guess tyra is part of the 12% of americans that think obama is a muslim.
obama is willing to talk about his faith. mccain rarely mentions it. do evangelicals really want to vote for mccain just because he is a conservative?
this attack on obama and support of mccain makes me question how some “religious” voters base their views. are abortion (which mccain flip flopped on) and gay marraige the only issues defining religion to conservatives? do they base their support on two issues or a larger faithful lifestyle? because obama seems to follow the latter. how about mccain’s various affairs? and adultery is a commandment. if anything, mccain has lived a less than pious lifestyle.
but this just further highlights the grand hypocrisy that is the mccain campaign.
