Do you agree with Santorum that Obama's theology is "phony". Santorum says that Obama's policies are not "based on the Bible." http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/02/19/santorum-phony-theology_n_1287475.html
Some of Obama's policies are not based on the Bible just like some of Santorum's polices would not be based on the Bible.
He seems to be claiming that the President has some sort of secret green religious agenda. The President's environmentalist credentials, if any, are not immediately apparent in real life.
Mr Santorum needs to expand this a little bit. Based on whose Bible? Which translation? Whose interpretation of said Bible? Based on the UCC interpretation or the Four-Square non-denominational interpretation? How about the Southern Baptist interpretation? The Roman Catholic official interpretation or the Roman Catholic American majority lay interpretation? The Orthodox interpretation? The Presbyterian interpretation? How about the LDS interpretation including the BofM? And then once he's clarified this and explained why it should be this way he can also go on to explain why any President's policies should be based on it. What a marroon.
I am fairly sure that his christian beliefs would refer to the King James Bible. He is right you know? Anyone who sat in Reverand Wrights pews for 20 yrs, heard radical statements like "God (*)(*)(*)(*) America" instead of saying "God Bless America" amongst other very non christian values. He then throws him under the bus when he became POTUSwhich indicates that Obama is a very confused man or a phoney to appease the people. Obama is not against same sex marraige, abortion of illegal aliens. He welcomes our enemy on our grounds on their wishes. We all know that Obama loves Muslims which I have no problem with. If he hasn't bumbled when asked the question, I still believe he loves the Muslim teachings and it he plays golf more than he attends any church. Santorum is spot on regarding his statement. Obama is a socialist and doesn't fit the christian mold.
The question should be:who cares anyway? Remember the First amendment? It also applies to our Presidents. In fact, one of my major concern with Santorum is his daily referral to his religious beliefs and how they influence his proposed policies. I can't understand how anyone who care about the constitution could not find that constant propaganda about his religious beliefs a reason for alarm.
If Obama is a socialist then so were Nixon and Eisenhower and Reagan is highly suspect. For RWers "Socialist" and "Socialism" have become all-encompassing catchwords that they use to describe people and policies that they disagree with. In RW parlance the terms have no meaning beyond that. And would you mind specifying exactly which "Christian mold" it is that you have in mind?
Santorum certainly represents moldy Christianism. The word "socialism" loses all meaning in their mouths.
Don't care...anyone but Obama...don't like him, dangerous man whose wife is the Alpha Dog of The White House...we need a president who is the Alpha Dog.
It is wonderful to read all these tired old echoes of anti-Roosevelt drivel. Pity the President is less effective, but, then, he's a Conservative isn't he?
Yep, I'm agree with Santorum, if Obama has a good knowelage, that only of Quran, not of the Holy Bible.
His version of Christianity may have been accurate for the 9th century, but probably not. President Obama is an elected FEDERAL official in an officially secular country. Little ricky's (very limited) understanding of the bible (or anything else for that matter) is not relevant, nor is the bible.
His theology is none of my concern, but I do hate when so-called leaders try to present their faith as a reason to vote for them. I have no problem with the Bible being used as a guide to moral governing, but when you use it for an advantage I hate that. Mathew 23:5-7 5But all their works they do for to be seen of men: they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, 6And love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, 7And greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi. Mathew 23:27-28 27Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. 28Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity. If Santorum had stated I am a Christian and that was it on the subject I would not mind him in the least. But by bringing up his faith continually and making it a part of his campain shows me that he cares less about serving Christ and more about how Christ can serve his interests.
I voted not for me to judge. How can one person say another person's theology is phony? They might disagree about the nature of God or many other beliefs but that doesn't mean either person's beliefs are phony. Certainly if someone publically advocates for a religion which he doesn't belief that would be phony. Since it isn't possible to really know what someone else believes (as opposed to what the say or do) it is impossible to know whether someone else's theology is phony or not.
These Christians always amuse me that they firmly believe we'll burn in a lake of fire for eternity, but for good measure, would like to get their licks on here too in case they're wrong
Totally and obviously conservative to any normal human President Obama IS. The trouble is that your country seems to be infested with drunken, hating extremist weirdoes who have taken over the party of Lincoln and turned it Moonie. Nutters to a man!
Jesus has a personal message to Santorum for Santorum's exploitation of His teachings for personal political gain!
I think President Obama finds it impossible to conceive of any being greater than himself. His attendance at Rev. Wright's "church" was to get street cred and leftist support and had nothing to do with religion. Oh, and Fiddlerdave is all class. Jesus would be more likely to flip off the cold, vicious, greedy, leftists.
