Santorum: Obama's Faith Is "Phony"

In response to Barbara,

Let me begin by saying, all of what you said is misinformed. I'll start with Islam. Ascertainably, you have never read the Koran. Have you had done so, you would know that muslims are called to put all infidels under the sword of Islam. Infidels are defined, in the Koran's terms, as anyone who does not willingly subscribe to their faith. Also, that it's destiny is to put all the world under Islam. A moderate muslim would tell you that and also state they don't prescribe to it. Radical Islam is the threat and also looks down upon their Moderate bretheren and sistren. (Observe radical Islam's mistreatment of women and children) Next unenlightened statement you made, is that Christians are forcing their faith on people. Again, had you paid attention to anything but a liberal viewpoint, you would know that is quite impossible for any Christian to do. How so? Unfortunately for the Christian, they are the only religion in this country that has limitations on their Free Speech and Free Expression amendmants granted by the Constitution. A Christian cannot, as you know, go into any public place and express their faith w/o receiving some kind of hostility from people with an opposing viewpoint. Even to the point that action is taken against them. The same is also true in public schools. A bible, a mere book, is a threat to some and incites unstable emotions at the sight of it. Also to mention that speaking the name of Christ is subject to silencing the speaker. Now onto your misuse of a piece of scripture, "Judge not, lest ye be judge." You also have shown your lack of knowledge in regards to Christianty also. Christ did a lot of judging and was perfectly accurate in doing so. That statement is subject to misintereptation when used, like that, because there is plenty more that is attached to it. That scripture also states, "Don't judge the speck in your brother's eye w/o first removing the plank in your own eye." Now, we can ascertain that the true meaning is not so much focusing on "judgement" but hypocrisy. I can judge you, Barbara, as ill-informed and foolish because I take time to think before I talk and review my facts prior to speaking to make sure I am absorbing true fact and not someone's ideology. If I did not, I would be guilty of hypocrisy and my judging your statements here would be wrong. Also, if how you spoke in terms of that scripture were true...We'd be in some trouble wouldn't we? Christ would be guilty...not to mention I'd have to ask you, why would we need Judges and a legal system? If the context you use WAS accurate ; Wouldn't we be in violation of that which Christ said? That concludes what I wanted to say and I will leave you, Barbara, with a passage from the book of Wisdom from the Old Testament. A man asked, "How can you look for wisdom in a person?" The reply he was given, "Merely listen to the words that come forth from their mouth and you will know if that person is either wise or a fool."

To the other readers, I apologize for the lengthy post...I had much to cover.

I always find it interesting when someone Jumps up, claims "Everyone else's view is Wrong and my view is correct". He goes on the claim that Mr. Obama's Faith is fradulant without supporting how that might be. I suppose from his view it's fradulant because it's not like his. He has determined that His view is the measuring stick by which all other faith views are measured by and if it doesn't measure up, it must be fradulant. Is this not a perfect example of being Self Deluded? Isn't this ultimately the Cornerstone of the Religious Right? Isn't the whold movement an agrandized, self deluded view of the world that allows no other view and or is not even capable of seeing another view without claiming any view but their own is false? Isn't their push for Doctrinal purity from their followers as well as the republican party nothing more than a desire to control the view that they have? My question to them would be, "If they truly have Christ's view, then why all of the anger, hatred, and bigotry? why the scare tactics to keep people in line, why the derogatory language when talking about other people? I simply want to know, how is this anything like Christ? It's not for me to say that the Religous right is a collection of wacked out nut jobs who have created a cross denominational cult. Oh no, I would never say that nor even imply that. In fact, please ignore that last comment as if I didn't say it. I will say, as a liberal Christian (who's heading straight to hell from some people's perspective), I know that God will sort it all out.....:D

I heard the Heaven's give out a huge laugh the other day as I was giving thanks Thanks to God for sending Sarah Palin. I'm now praying that she will be the Future of the Republican party. I can't imagine God being that Generous but one can only hope and pray.
