This is getting annoying. If it’s not opening every fracking public event with an invocation, it’s inserting quotes from the bible in his speeches. He gives lip service to America not being a christian nation, but he certainly doesn’t make it very convincing when he includes biblical mythology in his appeals to the American people, as he did in today’s speech to explain his administration’s efforts with regard to the economic crisis.

Now, there’s a parable at the end of the Sermon on the Mount that tells the story of two men. The first built his house on a pile of sand, and it was soon destroyed when a storm hit. But the second is known as the wise man, for when “the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house, it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.”

That parable refers directly to the belief in god and basing your life around that belief. What do you think the “rock” refers to? Sure, he attempts to avoid the implications of this parable by reshaping its meaning to apply to the current financial crisis, but we all know where it comes from.

Hey, Obama, lay off the Jesus-speak and just give us what we elected you for. You promised change, but as far as religion goes, it’s starting to smell the same as the previous administration.
