Barak Obama, God, The Bible and America

It has become apparent to me that Barak Obama doesn't grasp the relation between God, the Bible and America. The most effective way I know to demonstrate the relationship of these three things is to listen to what our forefathers had to say about these issues.

"Above all, the pure light of revelation has had an influence on mankind, and increased the blessings of society. It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible."
George Washington

"I have always said that a studious perusal of the sacred volume will make better citizens, better fathers, and better husbands." Thomas Jefferson

"The first and almost the only book deserving of universal attention is the Bible. I speak as a man of the world." John Quincy Adams

"It (the Bible) is the rock on which our Republic rests." Andrew Jackson

"I am profitably engaged in reading the Bible. Take all of this Book that you can by reason and the balance by faith, and you will live and die a better man. It is the best book which God has given to man." Abraham Lincoln

"I have known ninety-five of the world's great men in my time, and of these eighty-seven were followers of the Bible." W.E. Gladstone

"Almost every man who has by his lifework added to the sum of human achievement . . . . has based his lifework largely upon the teachings of the Bible." Theodore Roosevelt

Here are a couple of quotes from other world leaders.

"England has become great and happy by the knowledge of the true God through Jesus Christ . . . This is the secret of England's greatness." Queen Victoria

"Do not join those who either ignore the Bible altogether, or, at least, give it a spurious interpretation of their own devising." Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany

"What I was as an artist, seemed to me of some importance while I lived; what I really was as a believer in Christ Jesus, is the only thing of importance to me now. What can I do with respect to the next world without my Bible? No philosopher offers anything that meets, and, much less, relieves, my case." John Bacon, British sculptor ( I had to include this one)

"The Bible is more than a Book; it is a living being with an action, a power which invades everything that opposes its extension." Napoleon Bonaparte

Great people through out history and the world all esteem the value of the Bible and of God. How is it that people today find little to no value in the inspired Word of God? The men who built this country believed the Word and they believed God because with out these beliefs we wouldn't be the United States of America.

Like him or hate him George Bush has made many statements which show me that God is part of his life. He may not be perfect but I do think that he is a christian man. Non-christian men are not praying men and I know George Bush is a praying man.

Our two candidates for election here in 2008, what do they believe? Is it important? Our forefathers thought so. Leaders of other nations thought so.

Barak Obama said we are no longer a Christian nation but a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Hindu nation, a Buddhist nation and a nation of unbelievers. Yes, we have all these religions in our nation but Christianity is what this nation was based on. Christian people are not against the people of these religions we just don't believe in their gods as they don't believe in our God.

The great thing about America is you have the right to believe what you want with out fear of retribution. All should be allowed to practice their beliefs. This does create some problems. Unfortunately that is the nature of freedom of religion. While observing your freedom of religion you must not violate another humans right to life and liberty as guaranteed by the Constitution. Obviously human sacrifice is not something we should allow.

So Barak I suggest you read the whole Bible. Meet Jesus and discuss your beliefs with Him.
