I recently had a very fiery debate with someone on a Christian website. Without going to deep into the overall battle I will just show you how it ended and then get into the issues.
““Wow. So now Obama is the Devil? (Is that what you mean by 'on-topic' John?).
This discussion has degraded into to ridiculous. I don't see Christ in (many) of these comments AT ALL. What I see (in both the question AND several comments) is bigotry, hate and racism cloaked in veneer Christianity. Jesus said, 'You will know my followers, for they will have LOVE for one another'.
.... I know I read that somewhere.
This discussion has been most 'illuminating'. I've had my say. I'm going to wash my hands....
Peace be unto you all.”” – PD
“”'bigotry, hate and racism.' That is the firey dart I was waiting for.
Quote: 'I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.'
The president not only passed the glass ceiling, he shattered it - and there was never a greater opportunity for healing or a return to the core values of this nation. Instead we have seen the opposite. The people on this board have judged Pres. Obama on his character and found him lacking. That is what discernment is all about. It is the liberals who have given him a free pass for "being black" and therefore have made themselves to be the racists. Whether it be late night comedians who are too cowardly to satirize him or the media talking heads who practically worship the man - they are the ones who have judged him based on skin color.
I have been accused of not judging Pres. Bush in a similar manner. Not true. When Bush stood for the 'two nation solution to Jerusalem' I attacked him harshly on this very web site. I was rebuffed then as well. When the temple institute issued the Meghilla- Bush I cheered them on.
I have served side by side with soldiers of every race - I have cried at too many funerals and I have seen with my own eyes that we all bleed red. Leveling a charge of racism against me for my ideological opinions smacks of oppression - you just want to shut me up. If racist is a label I have to wear to have a voice SO BE IT.”” - ME
“”John, et al. I'm done. You guys can practice hate in the name of Jesus, by yourselves. IMHO, You will be the ones in the outer darkness. You will be judged for every word you have written in this group. Every single word. As for me, every (real) Christian (white AND black) I have let read these threads has told me to RUN, don't walk away from this group, and that isJUST what I'm doing. John, if you have something to say, say it in the LIGHT. For ALL to read. If it's just more hate then, ....hate away 'Christians'. This group grieves the spirit.”” - PD
Hatred? It is disconcerting to me that calling the administration what it is, amounts to racism. Since when does declaring the truth about something make you a racist? We have a president shown to be profoundly socialistic and working hand in hand with the unions. His overall world-view is a bizarre mix of Socialism and Islam. We see the nationalization of industries, federal power grabs, and the most pro-abortion administration ever. Whilst this is going on the President travels the world apologizing for us. He feels soooo guilty for America. He deserves criticism. He deserves to be voted out. He might even deserve jail time (you heard it here first folks).
People please don’t stop telling the truth just because someone calls you racist. Frankly I am not surprised that this escalated to me being “thrown into the outer darkness.” I promise you I never attacked PD’s faith or accused him of not being a “real Christian.” Who’s practicing hate here? Who has judged who? Think about it.
