Edict of the Supreme Leader

by Allen Erickson

Barack Obama’s Anti-American Confession: Religion is the art of the impossible — atheism too should inform our public policy, the religious are intolerant.

TEXT: Excerpts

The dangers of sectarianism are greater than ever. Whatever we once were we are no longer a Christian nation, at least not just . . . we are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers, and even if we did have only Christians in our midst, if we expelled every non-Christian from the USA, whose Christianity would we teach in the schools? Would it be James Dobson’s or Al Sharpton’s?

Democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal rather than religion-specific values. In a pluralistic society we have no choice. Politics involves compromise…the art of what’s possible. Religion doesn’t allow for compromise: it’s the art of the impossible. [He says essentially it is DANGEROUS to obey God regardless of the consequences.]

If we saw Abraham with a knife held high over Issac, we would call the police and child protective services. That’s because we don’t see what Abraham sess, and we don hear what Abraham hears. And so the best we can do is act in accordance with what we all see.

People are tired of seeing faith used a s a tool of attack.

We are also tired, Mr. Obama, of faithless people using faith as a tool of counter-attack in the effort to promote the religion of humanism.

Compare Mr. Obama’s words to the words of the Master recorded in the book of Luke, Chapter 12:

From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.

I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!

But I have a baptism to undergo, and how distressed I am until it is completed!

Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division.

From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three.

They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law.
