The Obamachrist

When Jesus Christ stood before Pontius Pilate shortly before Pilate condemned him to crucifixion, the arrogant Roman procurator informed Jesus that he had the authority to either set him free or crucify him. Christ then responded: "You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above." (John 19:11)

With that statement, Christ revealed that Pilate was given his position and authority from God--although not directly. And if God ultimately placed Pilate in his position as the Roman procurator of Judea, then he places world leaders in their positions today as well. The proverbial $64 dollar question that begs to be asked is this: Why does God choose wicked and mendacious leaders who lie to their people while crushing their spirits and ruining their lives? The answer is simple: Because the people deserve these leaders.

When we examine the past 60 years in America, we see a steady erosion of morals and ethics, beginning in the late 1940s through today. For example, in the 1950s, nearly 80 percent of American households contained married couples, while today that figure is barely 50 percent. Fewer marriages mean more children are being raised in single-parent homes which often means serious trouble when fathers aren't around to help raise and discipline their children. Children from single-parent homes often struggle in school, reject authority and experience chronic failure throughout their lifetimes.

In the 1950s, most Americans feared and believed in God and attended church at least occasionally. Today, fewer Americans believe in God and many never go to church, even during Christmas or Easter. In the 1950s, homosexuality, lesbianism and transgenderism were considered an abomination by most Americans and an emotional disorder by the American Psychiatric Association. Today, these behaviors are considered normal lifestyles and those who object--especially on biblical grounds--are labeled as morons, religious fanatics, racists, bigots and haters.

And in the 1950s, violent crime was a fraction of what it is today because people respected authority and understood that they were morally accountable to a Holy God for their thoughts, actions and words. Today, God has become an outdated historical artifact to many who believe that human beings are nothing more than the end product of billions of years of random evolutionary forces. And of course, in the 1950s, abortion was illegal while the presence of the 10 Commandments was allowed in public schools. Today, the 10 Commandments are gone from schools while abortion has murdered over 40 million unborn babies since Roe v. Wade in 1973.

And so, the American people suffer economically and spiritually under President Barack Obama because they have earned him. And, Barack Obama has become the reflection of a morally and spiritually bankrupt nation that mocks God, defecates on his laws and persecutes both Israel and true born-again Christians. Like all human idols that have existed throughout history, Barack Obama is just another charismatic false messiah who has failed to deliver on his lofty promises.

Certainly, there's an election coming up on November 6, but if the American people believe that getting rid of Obama will solve their problems, they're mistaken. Remember that God chooses leaders. If the American people want good leaders instead of bad ones like Obama, then they need to heed God's own words spoken to Solomon in the ancient times: "If my people, who are called by name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." (2Chronicles 7:14)
