Obama is not the messiah

Mixing religion and politics brings out passionate disagreements, but the Obamamaniacs and others on the left have passionately hailed Barack Obama as their messiah. Louis Farrakhan, head of the Nation of Islam, labeled Obama as the messiah in the new age globalization.

Obama is not the messiah. The only messiah there will ever be in the Christian religion is Jesus Christ, as his birth and resurrection fulfilled much biblical prophecy.

Obama has a new world order vision to bring America toward a European style socialized government, essentially moving us toward a one-world government. Now with the framework being established, the Amero is only a matter of time for the one world currency, prophecy of the 666 in Revelation Thirteen.

Once the socialistic globalization is established, it will be nearly impossible to reverse its course. As the government seizes control, society will rely on the government.

America has changed and "we the people" forgot what made this country great. We have become a "me-first" society, taking what we can from the government. We have become a moral-less society, teaching tolerance rather than what is right and wrong. We have removed God and glorified evil.

While the Obamamaniacs will spit anger at the thought of bringing religion and politics together, remember they brought religion and politics together when they called Obama their "messiah."
