So since the recent elections I have heard a lot of things about our new president elect. One of these things that I hear is that Obama is a Muslim. For starters, this allegation was not true; it was an inaccurate statement made by Fox News and several political pundits who thought it would be a great first line of attack, even though it was built up from a foundation of fear and prejudice. Fox news retracted this statement and said that they were wrong. However, for the sake of argument, lets say that your right, and “he is a Muslim?” SO WHAT!!!? Who cares what religion our new president? Are we electing him to run a church or a country? The last timed I checked, America is a country, not a national church. So religion should not matter. The funny thing is that Christians like their religious freedoms, but they can’t stand it when others want to exercise their religious freedom. But, that is a topic for later discussion.
Furthermore, just because someone is a Christian, does not mean that they can govern a country successfully. I look at the current president that we have right now as an example of such a fact. George Bush is a Christian man; however, he has not run the United States in the way a Christian should successfully. Just because someone is a Christian, does not mean he, or she, would make a great leader. They are still human and can make mistakes. Also, religious affiliation is not one of the qualifications to lead a nation.
In closing, Christians need to start supporting our new president, and stop worrying about what faith he is or is not। It does not matter; America is a FREE nation not a CHRISTIAN nation. We need to pray for him and that God is in the dealings of this nation. May God go with you.
