    Obama's purpose driven gamble

    To fightthetheocracy:

    I agree with most of your comments. Most of these "Republican Christians" are in for a big surprise. Jesus Christ has no political party. I also am concerned about the joining of church and state. One of the main reasons some of the original colonists came to the New World from the Old World was to avoid the persecution of forced state religion they were suffering. It will not work in a religiously diverse society. I am not optimistic about the future of religious freedom in the USA. There will never be a perfect nation while we are in this evil, sin-soaked world. Jesus Christ taught that His Kingdom is not of this world(John 18:36) The best one can do while alive on this earth is love GOD and love your neighbor as much as you love yourself and GOD. GOD IS REAL!
