Black Christians: Shame! Shame! Shame!
Increasingly, I am hearing the following mantra/narrative from Black Christians. "I'm voting for Obama because he is the lesser of the two evils." This is an extremely weak veiled attempt to justify their racism and loyalty to The Black Code (never side with a white against a fellow black).
From a Christian point of view, how can any Bible believer conclude that Mitt Romney is more evil than Barack Obama?
Here are a few of the numerous things on Obama's anti-Christian agenda. Obama supports same-sex marriage and has vowed to be an advocate for the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities. Obama supports abortion including infanticide (making it illegal to provide medical aid to a baby that has survived a failed abortion). Despite their strong will to survive, these babies must be left to die.
Massive governmental controls hidden in Obamacare include forcing Christian institutions to fund abortion services against the teachings of their faith. Think about that; the federal government demanding that Christians betray their biblical beliefs. Forty Catholic groups are fighting back by suing the Obama Administration. In typical liberal incremental fashion, our military has gone from a "Don't ask/ Don't tell" policy to being mandated to celebrate Gay Pride Month under Obama.
Indisputable facts are available everywhere exposing Obama to be the most anti-Christian president in U.S. History. I know some of you Black Christians will continue to stick your heads in the sand, refusing to accept the truth. Woe be unto you. Racism is evil, whether it comes from whites or blacks blindly worshiping Obama because of his skin-color.
So Black Christians, tell me Romney's stated ant-Christian agenda. Grasping at straws, some will say Romney is a Mormon and Mormonism does not jive with Christianity. Well, you may have a point. However, Romney has not attacked Christianity or pledged to force Christians to betray their faith. Obama is boldly and dictatorially implementing his anti-Christian agenda. Regrettably, many of you black so-called followers of Christ realize who Obama really is and what he is doing. And yet, you will vote for him anyway because of your sick addiction to racial politics.
I have also heard Christians say, "OK, I admit that Obama is destroying America, but I cannot vote for a Mormon." Such thinking is illogical. Imagine, your home is on fire and your family is trapped inside. The Hells Angels motorcycle gang arrives at the scene offering to go inside to rescue your loved ones. How absurd would it be to reject their "God-sent" help because you disapprove of the Hells Angels' lifestyle?
Remember this old joke? A guy was trapped on his roof during a flood. He prayed for help. Various volunteers came to his aid in boats. The man rejected them all, waiting for God to save him. The foolish man drowned. In Heaven, the man asked God why he did not answer his prayer. God replied, "I did answer your prayer. You rejected everyone I sent."
America is on fire folks. Romney/Ryan are the most available firefighters. Thus, I believe they are "God-sent."
I asked a black minister friend to further explain this "lesser evil" thing. He said the "lesser evil" in his mind is the economy. While not disputing Obama's anti-Christian agenda, Obama still wins his vote because he believes Romney/Ryan's plan will further the decline of America’s economy. In essence, this black minister of the Gospel is saying he values the economy over God's condemnation of homosexuality, over the lives of babies and over freedom of worship.
And by the way, this minister thinking that Obama's economic plan of spending our way to prosperity is superior to Romney/Ryan's plan is idiotic, nonsensical and absurd. I can not believe my friend is that stupid. I believe sighting the economy as his reason for voting for Obama is a weak excuse to mask his racism; pure and simple.
To all you, Obama-is-the-lesser-of-two-evils black Christian voters, you should be ashamed of yourselves. You "ain't" foolin' nobody. You are racists! May God have mercy on your souls.

If you voted for Obama in 2008 to prove you were not a racists, you must vote against him this time to prove you're not a racist.

Yet you make no effort, other than name calling, to refute any of his points.

This Article is right on point. If (bill in dallas) Doesn't like this article then he just proved he is not a Christian and his thoughts are just as dark as his pres. Anyone who votes for obama and calls themselves a Christian is a deceiver just like obama. And yes I spelled his name in lower case, the devil doesn't deserve to have his name spelled in Caps. It is do time for Christians to stand up and decide against GOoD and evil

Black ministers were up in arms after Odumbo said he supported gay marriage. But when asked who they were going to vote for Odumbo's name kept coming up. If they are firm in their belief that homosexualithy is wrong according to the Bible then how do they justify voting for someone who approves of it. You can't have it both ways. Either you are a Christian who believes in bibical teachings or you are pseudoChristian who'll vote for someone who denigrates your belief.

A Black Man was trapped on his roof during Hurrican Katrina. He prayed for help. Various volunteers came to his aid in boats. The man rejected them all, waiting for God to save him. The foolish man drowned. In Heaven, God asked why he did not get into a boat God had sent. The Man replied, "I 've never riden in a helicopter."

Is it only a black man or any other man that is not wise that can say and do the following: "A Black Man was trapped on his roof during Hurrican Katrina. He prayed for help. Various volunteers came to his aid in boats. The man rejected them all, waiting for God to save him. The foolish man drowned. In Heaven, God asked why he did not get into a boat God had sent. The Man replied, "I 've never riden in a helicopter.""
This says the black man and later further describes him as the foolish man. Such statements are destructive and pepertrate hatred and violence. Look at how these same people you hate welcome you when you come to Africa. What am saying is yes we should not stand for wrongs and the like but we should ascribe such to individuals and not to races. The asians do not mock others. The africans do not mock other races too. Am not also supporting africans who hate whites. You see why Jamaicans are full of hurt? Instead of living a healing life to others that were hurt during old times we pepertrate evils. Why are there wars??? It is from the same point of view where some feel superior and disregard others as can be seen frm words and deeds. Love is the solution!! on one hand we are saying lets forgive, forget the past while on the other hand we pepertrate hatred through racial remarks. Do we care about other races even? Think, who created them? is this earth only for one race? Oh my God, love is disappearing on this earth. hatred is prospering. Evil is prospering. Selfishness and greedy are prospering. Racism and tribalism are prospering. This shows that there is so much pretence. I would like to encourage those not possessed by the spirit of error, the spirit of racism and hatred to love those that hate them, those that mock them, those that look down upon them for whatever reasons. It is painful because everyone needs love. I now understand what Jesus Christ said, "I do not receive glory from me." Jesus Christ came to His own but they rejected Him. The very religious people crucified Him the holy man on their very religious and holy feast and brought Him down to a level of a criminal condemned to death. This is what mankind can do when influenced by the devil.

As a Christian, who happens to be Black....I hate to say it, but you are right. Many people who say they are Christians are voting for Obama regardless of his godless pursuits. It's funny though, for those of us, the Black Christians, who aren't voting for Obama we are vehemently hated by our own. Oh yeah, after reading the few comments here I think it is imperative that many people pick up The Holy Bible and really read it. Matthew 7:1-5 & 12:33-37 I can go on forever.

The only way to be a true christian is to accept Jesus Christ as a personal saviour and allow Him live His life in us. It is being filled with the true Spirit of Jesus Christ manifesting its fruits like love, gentleness, patience, self control, etc. God loved the world and gave His Son that we may all have life. A true disciple of Jesus Christ walks in the only path that Jesus walked and is above man-made divisions whether religious, political, racial, social, etc. A disciple is above all these things and has a heavenly mind but yet truthful, frank, honesty and full of love for others. A true disciple knows no such destructive differences inspired by the spirit of error. If mankind practiced true love for one another, true respect and the like, this world would have been a better place to live in. James 1 describes a true religion which is to care for the needy, orphans and widows. Everything can be done or corrected in a positive way. Those that are being advised should also learn to listen to others whther they are speaking sense or nosense so that they know how right or how wrong they are. It is two way. I speak in the fear of God and not mortal man.

Selection should not be based on race or religion or any such things but on standards, performance requirements, etc people want. This also depends on what they want their country to be. However, every country sets up their own requirements, and also their Monitoring & evaluation results of performance, but it can be very unfortunate if race and religion are made to be part of such factors.

Paul the true Apostle of Jesus Christ said, In Jesus Christ there is neither gentile nor greek, Jew nor pagan. This means that in the true Jesus Christ there is neither white nor black, chinese nor white, Asian nor white, Colored nor Indian, and so on. He also said that there is another Jesus other than the true and another spirit other than the true. This means that in the other Jesus all such divisions are recognised. LOVE FOR ALL and HATRED FOR NONE!!!!

We know that abortion is the taking of innocent life (murder) Homosexuality is an abomination to God. Both are commandments from God. 1 John 2:4 " He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him". Even a simple minded liberal should be able to understand these statements. This is not my opinion. Argue with God.

Yes thats the truth and we got let the truth shine. What I now see is that in this world currently racism, hatred, arrogance, selfishness, greedy etc like the Apostle Paul said will continue and worsen in these last days until God ushers in His own Kingdom of peace, joy and love where there shall not be any racial remarks and hatred but where every person will be equal in the eyes of God. I see that Satan is behind all the racial hatred and all evils done by both people in leadership and those not in leadership. You few who are remaining I encourage you to remain pure and filled with love nad wisdom from above and live a selfless life.
