OBAMA:
Where do you move forward with that? This is something that I’m sure I’d have serious debates with my fellow Christians about. I think that the difficult thing about any religion, including Christianity, is that at some level there is a call to evangelize and proselytize. There’s the belief, certainly in some quarters, that people who haven’t embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior, that they’re going to hell.

You don’t believe that?
OBAMA:
I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell. I can’t imagine that my God would allow some little Hindu kid in India who never interacts with the Christian faith to somehow burn for all eternity. That’s just not part of my religious makeup.
Part of the reason I think it’s always difficult for public figures to talk about this is that the nature of politics is that you want to have everybody like you and project the best possible traits onto you. Oftentimes that’s by being as vague as possible, or appealing to the lowest common denominators. The more specific and detailed you are on issues as personal and fundamental as your faith, the more potentially dangerous it is.

There’s a sick and compulsive nature about the powers that be that often stresses the use of force more and more in this world and I suspect that it occurs among the rich and powerful too often .
Sadly, many view this as ok to protect us from what? Dangerous others who by the way are all children of God who have gone astray?
I have to admit though considering the violent massacres involving the killings in Aurora, Colorado and Newtown , Connecticut and elsewhere, something must be done to try to prevent them. We don’t know what the police forces have to go through daily until we have walked in their shoes. They are looking out for their skins , too. Yes , sometimes they go over board. Finding that happy medium isn’t always easy.
this is one of the truest blog posts I have ever read anywhere. All of it supposedly to keep us safe from ourselves…
Hope it’s not too late to turn back, huh?
