Obama moves to protect Planned Parenthood funding permanently.
The Obama administration has proposed a new rule that would prevent states from defunding Planned Parenthood or any other family planning provider for political reasons.
See what he's doing right now? He's trying to prevent states from being able to defund Planned Parenthood before he leaves office to give Donald Trump a difficult time.
It's amazing how much Obama hates human life. He hates the Bible. He hates Jesus.
Just take a look at this video clip from years back before he even became president on how much he despises the word of God.
Whatever we once were, we are no longer a Christian nation, at least not just.
We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of non-believers.
And even if we did have only Christians in our midst, if we expelled every non-Christian from the United States of America,
whose Christianity would we teach in the schools? Would it be James Dobson's or Al Sharpton's?
Which passages of scripture should guide our public policy?
Should we go with Leviticus, which suggests slavery is okay and that eating a shellfish is an abomination?
Or we could go with Deuteronomy, which suggests stoning your child if he strays from the faith?
Or should we just stick to the Sermon on the Mount, a passage that is so radical that it's doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application?
We...
So before we get carried away, let's read our Bibles now.
Folks haven't been reading their Bible.
Now I may be opposed to abortion for religious reasons, to take one example,
but if I seek to pass a law banning the practice, I can't simply point to the teachings of my church or evoke God's will.
I have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths, including those with no faith at all.
Now this is going to be difficult for some who believe in the inerrancy of the Bible, as many evangelicals do.
But in a pluralistic society, we have no choice.
Politics depends on our ability to persuade each other of common aims based on a common reality.
It involves compromise, the art of what's possible.
And at some fundamental level, religion doesn't allow for compromise.
It's the art of the impossible.
If God's spoken, then followers are expected to live up to God's edicts, regardless of the consequences.
Now to base one's own life on such uncompromising commitments may be sublime,
but to base our policy-making on such commitments would be a dangerous thing.
And if you doubt that, let me just give you an example.
We all know the story of Abraham and Isaac.
Abraham's ordered by God to offer up his only son.
Without argument, he takes Isaac up to the mountaintop, he binds them to the altar, raises his knife, prepares to act as God commanded.
Now, we know things worked out.
You know, God sends down an angel to intercede at the very last minute.
Abraham passes God's test of devotion.
But it's fair to say that if any of us leaving this church saw Abraham on the roof of a building, raising his knife,
we would, at the very least, call the police and expect the Department of Children and Family Services to take Isaac away from Abraham.
No matter how religious they may be or may not be, people are tired of seeing faith used as a tool of attack.
Absolutely disgusting.
