Recently, I have been further exposed to what some have pointed out as Barack Obama’s speech in June of 2006, about politics and religion. Progressives defend the content of Obama’s speech as not mocking God, only pointing out how terrible (not their words) certain, hand-picked Scriptures are.
I remember when the speech took place and little fanfare followed until after Obama became president. It was then that misled “conservatives” butchered the daylights out of his speech, and placing most of his words out of context. NUTS! They didn’t need to, but because they are also being nursed by the influences of Satan, forgive them Father for they know not what they do, they felt they needed to embellish Obama’s words.
Go and read the speech that Obama delivered. Most, in this post-normal society, should they choose to decipher his words with a bit of honesty, probably will find his words quite nice, reasonable, sensible, compassionate, etc. – forgive them Father for they know not what they do.
It is pointless to attempt to argue whether Obama’s words (are they really his?) are inflammatory and mocking toward the Almighty El’s sacred Scriptures. Yes, Mr. Obama, while invoking passages of the Scriptures that ruffle the feathers of Satan’s progressives, attempts to substantiate his point that a certain dose of “religion” is needed if we are to tolerate existing in a progressive, pluralistic society. I should point out that Obama does get in his mocking licks of the Almighty El with his comments he mades about passages of Scripture – like his reference to the Sermon on the Mount, where he describes God’s words as : “a passage that is so radical that it’s doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application.”
How do you not see Obama’s comment as anything but blasphemy?
I agree with those who defend Obama’s words and actions when they say it is wrong that “republicans” accuse Obama of mocking the Scriptures because he selected certain passages to make his point. What is blasphemous is his added comments, like those I exposed above.
Regardless, once you have read the piece and can understand the Truth (those with ears and eyes to see and hear) behind it, it becomes clear that what Barack Obama is demanding is that the Almighty El change and conform to his ideology. Obama’s position on this is not unique or original. This doomed society is “all in” when it comes to their demands that God needs to change to fit their ideology, and immoral lifestyles….ALL IN!!
What possesses a man who would believe his Creator should change his ways?
A day will come soon when such a man will stand up where all the world can see him and proclaim to be God. What will you do when that happens?
Personally, I don’t care what “religion” you want to play around with. That’s your business. I have never and never will attempt to force anyone to believe anything they aren’t led to believe. I expect the same in return. You shouldn’t be looking to kill me because I will not assimilate. I know where I’m going and how I’m going to get there. I choose to have nothing to do with any man who thinks he can change the mind of THE ALMIGHTY EL.
Hebrews 13: 1-9 (This is God’s Word, not to be ever be changed)
Let brotherly love continue.
2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have received Angels into their houses unawares.
3 Remember them that are in bonds, as though ye were bound with them: and them that are in affliction, as if ye were also afflicted in the body.
4 Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.
5 Let your conversation be without covetousness, and be content with those things that ye have, for he hath said,
6 I will not fail thee, neither forsake thee:
7 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is mine helper, neither will I fear what man can do unto me.
8 Remember them which have the oversight of you, which have declared unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering what hath been the end of their conversation. Jesus Christ yesterday, and today, the same also is forever.
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines: for it is a good thing that the heart be stablished with grace, and not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.
Bill would allow Maine Amish hunters to wear red instead of orange
*Editor’s Note* – Let’s forget about the “religious” aspect of the whats and whys of the Amish request to be exempt from wearing blaze orange when they hunt. That is a day-long debate with no end in sight. Consider what we have been told when the government forced hunters to wear blaze orange. And now consider what we are being told in regard to why a proposed exemption for the Amish bill should be passed.
The idea of blaze orange, we were told and everyone believes, was to be “safely” spotted by other hunters in the woods during deer season. It wasn’t just good enough that hunters HAD to wear an article of bright orange, it had to meet certain luminous minimum standards and cover head and a major portion of the torso. In addition to this forced requirement on the people, the law was changed that basically said a hunter was 100% responsible for any decision to pull the trigger and what happens to the bullet once it leaves the breech.
If all of this government intrusion is so important to the safety of everyone, why then should there be any exemption from participating in a government-mandated program?
If we look at the article, linked to below, read what lawmakers and others are telling us now about how there shouldn’t be any concern if Amish hunters hit the woods in red instead of hunter orange.
1. The Amish faith prohibits the use of bright colors
2. Amish hunters are forced to use the bright, fluorescent hunter orange to comply with safety regulations
3. the requirement to wear orange clearly conflicts with the Amish’s religious beliefs.
4. We should all be free to stick to our religious convictions
5. They just want to have the same opportunities as other hunters in Maine. (They do already.)
6. remedy the situation in the Legislature “while at the same time maintaining high hunting safety standards in Maine.”
7. The senate president said he did not believe safety would be an issue.(emboldening added).
8. “With all of the current laws and the hunter safety classes, we are past the time when people just point a gun at anything that moves and shoot it,”(emboldening added).
If the Maine Senate president and the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Committee’s “some concern for safety,” are right, then why is there a requirement by the government to make anybody wear hunter orange? This makes no sense at all.
One might even ask if a “religion” prohibits wearing bright colors but allows for killing wild animals, what kind of “religion” is that? In addition, it would seem to me that if hunting is so important to certain members of the Amish faith, then the Amish “religion” needs to draw up their own exemptions to laws. Isn’t it a bit hypocritical to ask of another something they are not willing to do?
If the Maine Legislature agrees to pass legislation exempting the Amish from wearing hunter orange, then one of two things, or both should also happen: 1. Wearing of blaze orange should become optional for everyone, and 2. Hunters who might accidentally shoot an Amish hunter, not wearing orange, will not be held responsible for “accidentally” shooting someone.
Mind you these suggestions are based on what we have been told about hunter safety, the effects of being forced to wear hunter orange clothing and what we are being told now about safety should not be an issue if the Amish don’t wear orange. Evidently we have moved beyond that requirement.
Hunting is a privilege and is deeply ingrained into the fabric of Maine’s heritage. Everyone, of legal status, has the right to purchase a license and hunt…legally, and all participants must abide by the laws that regulate hunting…this includes the wearing of blaze orange. A person chooses their religion. If providing an exemption to the Amish to not wear bright colors is good enough for the Amish, then it should be good enough for everybody.
I suggest that if the Amish provide their own exemptions to allow their followers to hunt.
