21. True Religious Freedom
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

There are some like Bush/McCain and some Christians who say they believe in religious freedom, and may be sincere, but what they are really promoting is their freedom to live according to their personal religious morals(which is consistent) and their freedom to use our constitutionally secular government to force their citizen neighbor to also conform to their personal religious morals (this is inconsistent with true religious freedom)! The fruits of this false religious freedom, millions of religious and non-religious citizens potentially repressed and forced to convert and/or conform to a self-righteous group's personal moral doctrines or be put in prison, are proof of its error.

Bush/McCain have chosen to follow the example of the Islamic terrorists by declaring that “you are either for us or for the enemy!” Yahshua ha Mashiach, Jesus the Christ, experienced the results of this thinking and predicted that others in the future would too.

John 16:2 ……. yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.

Barack believes in true religious freedom as our founding fathers envisioned and God inspired. The constitution prevents the government from selecting a religious group and its associated personal religious morals and making them the law of the land. The fruits of promoting this God inspired wisdom are not anarchy but maximum personal freedom which leads to true peace and a mutual respect for diversity with social accountability and responsibility.

May God continue to bless America with President Barack Obama!
