A day
before President Obama's second inauguration, I wrote this status update:
“The sheer hatred that some evangelical
Christians possess/feel/showcase on Facebook for President Obama is downright abhorrent. Disagree
all you want. Protest if you feel led. But know this: the name calling,
the blanket assumptions, the curse words with asterisks, the exaggerated
memes you share, and the complete disregard for President Obama’s position
and/or his humanity showcases only what’s wrong with you and says nothing
about what you believe is wrong with him. Rather than telling us
with Facebook statuses or Tweets how much you love God and country, why
not show us how much you love both by learning how to disagree and protest
with a little respect and value for humankind?”
Hating President Obama In Jesus's Name
There are good Christians out there supporting our president. And it's sad that they are made to feel uninformed, duped, unChristian or not Christian enough because of it. I'm surprised that this was posted on your blog because of your lack of faith.
ReplyDeleteI'm not quite sure why you are surprised that I posted this article. So, I can only speculate. Being atheistic doesn't mean that I virulently hate any and all opinions expressed by a person of faith. That would be foolish and just plain not nice.
