"We are God's partners"

Speaking in front of a group of Rabbi's this past week while trying to rally support from religious leaders to push his 'moral objective' of government run health care Obama made the following statement: "We are God's partners in matters of life and death." This is the same Obama who told Rick Warren that when asked the point when a human embryo achieves personhood, Obama said that the question is “above my pay grade.” As an Illinois State Senator, Barack Obama argued against a law requiring a second doctor be called to provide care to a child born alive after an attempted abortion. Obama argued that this would only make it harder for a woman to choose abortions, saying it was “…really designed simply to burden the original decision of the woman and the decision to induce labor and perform an abortion.” This is also the same president who had the Crucifix covered up while giving a speech at Georgetown University, a Roman Catholic University.

So Obama says "we are God's partners in matters of life and death" but doesn't seem to make the "pay grade" to determine when life begins and once argued against a doctor administering care to a child born alive after an attempted abortion? Does this seem odd to you? There is One who knows when life begins and when life is going to end...God! Obama is not God but Newsweek columnist Evan Thomas seems to think so when he said, "I mean in a way Obama’s standing above the country, above – above the world, he’s sort of God."

"I thought the use of religion in order to convince the people to follow anything political was prohibited by the U.S. Supreme Court's rulings," said Christians Reviving America's Values president Don Swarthout in a statement. "Now the President of the United States is using religion to convince people to follow his political position."

He continued: "As a Pastor I may understand the Bible a little better than the average person. Apparently, the President thinks the Bible says government should help the poor instead of the Bible calling upon Christians to give to the poor...The truth is our very salvation may depend upon helping those in need. However, there is no place in the Bible which tells us that the government is supposed to do these things for us."

As a Christian I have some words of advice for Mr. Obama. We are not God's partners. We are his children. God may have made us in His image but he did not grant us the insight into His complex creation of human existence and the universe's miraculous beginnings. He granted us the authority over earth's abundance and to administer its growth and evolutionary process until He returns. For Obama to say "we are Gods partners" to me demonstrates two very important aspects on the way he chooses to 'rule' America. First, it proves that he is a major megalomaniac; and second, he will 'use' God when it is politically expedient for him to do so. BHO had to run away from being labeled a Muslim and then tried feverishly to demonstrate to America that he was Christian. But then he ran away from Reverend Wright, his pastor of 20 years, when the seas got rough. So clearly one can see that Obama uses God for political expedience and in fact has done so more often than George Bush did in 8 years (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2009/06/09/politics/politico/main5074470.shtml). Although, to Bush's credit, he never denied God in any political forum or speech. However, Obama is using God to try and help his 'ends justify the means' argument on the government take over of health care. Obama had reinstated the 'Your Life, Your Choices' manual for our military veterans, which is a tip of the hand in how Obamacare will help you determine your termination from this existence.

Hypocritcal? Obama proclaims to the Muslim world that "America is NOT a Christian nation" but yet he uses God when trying to pass his main political agenda issue. Well, if we are not a Christian nation then I doubt God likes being used by the denier as a catalyst for his politics. Obama will wake up one day feeling naked...just like Adam and Eve did when they tempted God. It's a lonely world in that place. He should hope Waxman Markey passes so he can have some plants and leaves to use for cover.
