The One (Obama) Goes to Church at The Temple of the Gym

After so many attempts to tell the world that he is indeed a man of deep faith, I  wonder how that is lived out in the case of The One.

Since his election, The One has yet to attend a church service. His excuse--offered by an aide--was  that attendance at any church would "cause a disturbance" and he certainly didn't want to do that.

I hear what he is saying about his deep faith, but I don't really see any evidence of it. Former president President-elects (Bush, Clinton) Had no problem "causing a disturbance" in a church after their elections. They went to worship in their Churches, not to the Gym.

Of course, a gym is a great place to get rid of tension, lose afew pounds and come back relaxed. Spending time with God could relieve the tension problem, I suppose--I am not sure about the weight loss.

So, I assume The One sees God as poor subsitute for his fitness goals.

From what I remember the only one whoever really caused any kind of disturbance in any Church that The One attended was Rev Wright.

I can only conclude that The One doesn't really see Church as very important--and that's why he had an aide come up with the lamest excuse. Unless the press makes this some kind of issue, this won't get much attention.

I think hell would freeze over if that happened.

Well John I was wondering when someone would bring this up. I do know that if I was about to be president I would be at extra worship services. You know I believe that being a Christian is a 24/7 obligation. My personal belief is that anything less is just a feel good measure. He would not be the first politician to use the Churh for political gain. But the final judging must be left to the almighty. That being said I hope you have your battle helmet on, I will check in periodically for support but the haters are going to love this one. To God Goes The Glory Hugh

Well John he could be working on the charter for the Church of Obama. I think I hear someone say members are going to pray facing the direction of the National ACORN Headquaters.

Hugh, no judging here, just pointing out there was "talk" and the "walk" is what I am observing. Thanks for your comments Angel. And Brian--I think you've got something there.

At this point, in our current situation, I believe that church AND religion are NEEDED in the White House! We had all better say some prayers. Who will this Nation call on when all hope is lost...Yes, God. You can not choose to believe during the bad times and forget Him in the good!

Angel--you are so right. When the sky falls people always ask "where is God when you need him?"  He is always there, He already seeks us, and we need to be seeking Him.

Going to the gym won't cause a stir? Anywhere he goes will cause a stir. Does that mean he will never leave the whitehouse? He is like a lot of people that call themselves Christians these days. They claim to believe but their lives in no way reflect that belief.

John ~ If you call what Obama attended for twenty uears a church. I think it was a political rally for angry people with a chip on their shoulders. Michelle Obama is finally proud to be an American.

He did? I wasn't aware of that. I have refused to watch any of the news after the election. I am disgusted with America's choice. Blinded followers of a blind leader. I hope he paid his fair of taxes with that bling bling ring.

Nick, I felt a lot like you. And All we can do is point out the truth to people and we can be thankful that GOD is in control
