Barack Obama says fatherhood begins at conception. Big thanks to Tony Perkins at the Family Research Council for putting on YouTube an important follow up question that the media surely won’t be asking.
This speech was given by Sen. Obama at the Apostolic Church of God in Chicago. Nothing out of the ordinary there, he and Hillary Clinton are speaking in churches every weekend. Hmm. If I were to invite John McCain to speak from my pulpit how long do you suppose it would before the IRS would get complaints? That’s soon to change… September 28th here we come! It’s a new day!
Culture is downstream of politics. Politics is downstream of righteousness. Righteousness is downstream of a relationship and intimacy with God. The church is called to connect people with God and release and equip them to see to it the Kingdom leaven permeates the entire loaf of society. This is the flow, the stream, we read of in Amos 5:24 – “But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!” We need Amos-like prophets to rise up in America again and cry out for justice for the most vulnerable in our society – the unborn. Martin Luther King Jr. was that voice a generation ago crying for justice for those not considered “fully human” back then.

Apparently your unfounded religious views – outside of the bible (a book, no less, that was written by mortal men) – usurp the most important aspect of our free society – individual civil liberties. Your support of John McCain is not only ignorant and harmful to our nation, but – in my humble opinion – based on a deep seeded racism that exists within your community. You use the bible as a shield behind which you wield racist, intolerant views against homosexuals, culturally diverse individuals, and anyone who would otherwise be so bold as to question your unscientific, voodoo based interpretation of the world. While I realize my words will do nothing to force you to think…and use the natural and remarkable mind that makes human beings so wonderful and unique…I just hope that you understand there are plenty of free thinking, patriotic, passionate Americans out there who will fight you relentlessly as you attempt to wrest away the very rights that are at the heart of this country’s founding principles.
