America is NOT a Christian Nation

I really hate when politicians and preachers proclaim that America is a Christian nation.  It's not. In fact, America is far from a Christian nation because if Jesus ran a nation he'd heal and feed its citizens, he'd show kindness to aliens (illegal or otherwise), he'd instruct the rich to give back to the poor and he'd put an end to the military industrial complex, the prison industrial complex and the war on drugs. 

Jesus never even lived to be old enough to be President.  He never held any public office or official title.  And if he were here today nobody would be pushing for him to run for office.  They'd be looking for ways to imprison and execute him, just like they did 2,000 years ago.

In the coming weeks, I will be giving specific examples, with corresponding scriptures, of the reasons America is not a Christian nation and never was.

Nutjobs never sleep.

"Christian" cult leader James Dobson's Focus on the (white suburban) Family is already trying to cash in on Barack Obama being elected President of the United States.  Not waiting to even let him serve one day in office, they have started attacking him in a fundraising email and are already comparing him to the Nazis. Info here.

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

Barack Obama is a Christian.  He has elucidated his faith in Jesus Christ many times over.  Just because he does not accept your narrow, strident and WRONG interpretation of Christianity does not mean that his faith in Jesus Christ is lacking in any way.  And even though Dobson is "grieving" for the  our country,  he offers NO repentance for his support of the Bush Administration, an Administration that has done more to undermine the greatness of America than all of our enemies could ever have hoped to do.  His pathetic take on the election is  here.

The attacks of FOTF do not in any way make me question Barack Obama's faith in God.  It only makes me question what FOTF really believes in.
