huangshan, you are right. We have to be just as critical of both sides of the political spectrum. The sad thing is that people, regardless of the issue at hand, feel they have to pick one side or the other and only argue for that side - even if they are blatantly wrong, and even if their argument is completely ridiculous. I really pray that God will remove the "Right vs. Left - Democrat vs. Republican" blinders that the majority of Americans wear.

I no longer frequent Bible Book Stores.
There is nothing for me there anymore.
I have all the Theology books I could need,
and what I don't have I can find the information
needed on the net.
Too much propoganda in the name of religion.
Too much propoganda in politics in the name of patriotism.
When truth is rejected, there is no alternative but to believe a lie.
Man cannot live with a vaccuum inside. He accepts the truth or
accepts a lie. As Satan is god of this world and the father of all
lies, well. We have a personal choice. We believe the truth or
we believe a lie. whether in religion or politics. And sad to say,
one hand washes the other.

This isn't about democrats or republicans but some people losing all rational thought in deifying a mere man. There are several threads discussing this from pre-election to the schools teaching young children songs of praise.

There is a difference in a biographical type book about someone and
one that is deifying a mere mortal. I would love to read a truthful
biography of Obama and his real faith. But that will never be published.

So what? Sting says Obama was "sent from God" not that he "is God." Even the the most superficial reading of his quote should show you that this is not deification, but you're too busy seeing red to do it.
There are millions of Christians in America who believe that Bush was "sent from God" (i.e. his election was ordained by God or anointed by God) so that he was the President in the aftermath of 9/11. There were certainly enough of them on this site to be sure.

That would be an interesting and relevant point if Obama were in fact trying to position himself as that being. That's a very interesting point you've made if something were true that is not true.

Um, wasn't it the Chosen One himself that said if he was elected that "the seas would stop their rise and the planet would begin to heal"?
Of how about Michelle Obama's statement that "only Barack Obama can save our souls"?
We all know God doesn't have any plans to retire, but it sure sounds like Mr. Obama is applying for the job...

There's something wrong with this entire sentence. It makes anybody who see's it go, huh?
It could be called redundant, but I'm not even sure that completely describes this faulty sentence structure. What is not true? Are you segueing to some other point? Otherwise it's simply sufficient to say, "that's a very interesting point you've made if something was true."
Even then the satement is still vague, but it least it employs proper grammar. To what does "something" refer?

And that would make him different from the other presidents.... how?
If you don't have an ego the size of a planet then it's highly unlikely you would even think you could do the job of President of the United States. If you don't think that Bush, Clinton, Bush, Reagan, Cater, Nixon, et al. didn't have monstrous egos, then I have a dozen bridges in the Mojave Desert you might be interested in.

I have never seen so many commercials with a president in them before.
Obama is still running his campaign. Someone should tell him, he won.
I do not remember so much religious symbolism of a president before.
I think some of this is the backlash of christianity's involvement into the election of George Bush jr. The left decided to pull in the christian vote and now, because they are the emotion driven left, they are going overboard with worship. ( Let alone the fact that liberal christians are so poorly founded in biblical knowledge )
Obama is worshipped. Watch the HBO special coming up about his election. I have seen the promo's and its..truly disturbing.

Do you recall Ronald Reagan?
"Morning in America"
"City on a Hill"
Politicians have exploited reglious symbolism and phrases since this country's inception.....just as there have been followers who elevate these mere mortals to something higher...
There were people who swooned over Ronald Reagan...that doesn't mean they were "worshiping" him any more than some of our friends here worship Sarah Palin or any other perceived political "savior" :0

I never saw anything that suggested Reagan as some religious icon.
While its true politicians use religion for their purposes, Obama seems to want people to worship him...or at least its being promoted that way.
