I am a believing, practicing Christian. As such I find it either offensive, hilarious or defining to have President Obama address the National Prayer Breakfast.
On one level I find it offensive. I am not one who claims that the president is a secret Muslim. It is possible because the Koran gives Muslims permission to stay in the closet while they undermine the kafirs, but there is no way of knowing that. Evidently in Indonesia he attended both Catholic and Muslim schools. At the Catholic school he registered as a Muslim, but that could have simply been the paperwork of his Muslim step-father. It doesn’t really matter. I don’t believe he has any genuine religious beliefs because he is too arrogant and narcissistic to actually believe there is a supreme being judging his actions. To give even lip service that he speaks for Christianity is insulting.
It is also hilarious, for the same reasons. What a joke. A man who endorses gay marriage, supports abortion on demand, praises Islam and lies on a regular basis is nothing but a Saturday Night Live caricature when he talks at something called a prayer breakfast. It is like one of the presidential hopefuls saying something nice about a rival.
It is defining because it shows that the National Prayer Breakfast has become a meaningless activity of Political Correctness. I don’t pay a lot of attention. I assume that it was started by Christians and for a time was a genuine time to come together and call on God. Those days are long past. It has become a place to be seen. It is a mantra like saying “God bless America” at the end of a speech. It is a sad statement about the condition of Christianity in our nation.
It is just part of the cacophony of distractions in the media to keep the sheep in the pasture.
