Will Liberals Decry Obama’s Lack of Seperation?
Obama: GOP doesn't own faith and values
When any Republican makes a statement of faith, no matter how miniscule, or relatively meaningless, liberals cry foul. But when any Republican makes a statement which they infer to equate America as some sort of Christian nation raised up by God to execute His justice on the earth, the cries of “separation of church and state” reverberate across the political landscape and into our homes via the liberal network media outlets. It is the subject of Sunday talk shows, daily entertainment programs, and editorials in all the major newspapers.
Let’s just wait and see how they respond to thier up and coming star, Senator Obama.
To me this sounds an awful lot like the same kingdom building boasted by the New Evangelical Christians. To me this sound like Christianizing the culture via government control. But, to me this sort of expression is perfectly fine and violates no “separation of church and state”. In fact, I think it is important that we know what candidates see as their role in our government and how their faith will work itself out in office.
"Sometimes this is a difficult road being in politics," Obama said. "Sometimes you can become fearful, sometimes you can become vain, sometimes you can seek power just for power's sake instead of because you want to do service to God. I just want all of you to pray that I can be an instrument of God in the same way that Pastor Ron and all of you are instruments of God."
He finished his brief remarks by saying, "We're going to keep on praising together. I am confident that we can create a Kingdom right here on Earth."
