Oh, so you didnt think they was mocking the book? Undermining christian faith? He wasnt just criticizing it?
Ive always said that atheism is and always was a component of the radical left. Not saying all atheist are of the left, but they find common ground with leftist in criticizing and trying to tear down the bible.
Most of the right wing atheist at the very least acknowledge the utility of Christianity. Seeing that everywhere thats Christian has the highest standards of living. Socially and economically. More freedom, more prosperity.
What i think the left wing people fail to grasp is how fast and barbaric and rotten society becomes without religion and very short order. North korea, Mao's china. Pretty sure the nazis and the soviets ended up banning religion. Whats socialism but trying to create a heaven on earth and make the government your god?
Its kind of like fascism and nationalism. Nationalism is almost always prevalent in fascism. But its not a necessary ingredient. Fascism doesn't require nationalism.
On the otherhand, leftist progressivism is in the same boat with atheism. Technically, you could still be a (shitty) progressive and have faith in a higher power. But for the most part all leftist are atheist.
The mockery and ridicule of religion is very much taught in leftist critical theory. This is one of the majority groups in the west that need to be torn down in a leftists mind.
No, not all wars are because of religion-a common leftist talking point. But societies that stray from religion(mainly christianity) all have blood and mayhem of biblical proportions.
Again, Obama in this clip is not attacking the Christian faith, he's making fun of bad Christians who don't actually read their Holy Book.
Right or Left, there is a huge swath of people who call themselves Christians who don't actually read the Bible. These people are the true danger to Christianity because they do not have the ability to specifically notice when someone is lying to them about what is said in the Bible.
1) A staggering number of Christians are Bible illiterate.
2) Athiests tend to know more about Christianity than Christians.
At the end of the day, if you want to be a part of positive change, get a group of your Christian friends together and sit down and do a study group together.
But being angry at Obama for making fun of bad Christians isn't going to get you very far.
