Obama called “Most Biblically-Hostile U.S. President”

David Barton, founder and president of WallBuilders, called President Obama the “most biblically-hostile” president in U.S. history. And that was before President Obama came out in favor of gay marriage. In a heavily footnoted article, Barton lists 16 “acts of hostility [by Obama] toward people of Biblical faith,” 9 “acts of hostility from the Obama-led military toward people of Biblical faith,” 17 “acts of hostility toward Biblical values,” and 8 “acts of preferentialism for Islam.” Barton contends Obama is “anti-Biblical,” not simply anti-Christian, for the President “has been equally disrespectful in his appalling treatment of religious Jews in general and Israel in particular.” “Acts of hostility” by Obama or his administration include:

* January 2009 – Obama lifts restrictions on U.S. government funding for groups that provide abortion services or counseling abroad, forcing taxpayers to fund pro-abortion groups that either promote or perform abortions in other nations.

* February 2009 – Obama announces plans to revoke conscience protection for health workers who refuse to participate in medical activities that go against their beliefs, and fully implements the plan in February 2011.

* March 2009 – Obama gave $50 million for the UNFPA, the UN population agency that promotes abortion and works closely with Chinese population control officials who use forced abortions and involuntary sterilizations.

* April 2009 – When speaking at Georgetown University [a Roman Catholic institution], Obama orders that a monogram symbolizing Jesus’ name be covered when he is making his speech.

* April 2009 – In a deliberate act of disrespect, Obama nominated three pro-abortion ambassadors to the Vatican; of course, the pro-life Vatican rejected all three.

* May 2009 – While Obama does not host any National Day of Prayer event at the White House, he does host White House Iftar dinners in honor of Ramadan.

* April 2010 – Christian leader Franklin Graham is disinvited from the Pentagon’s National Day of Prayer Event because of complaints from the Muslim community.

* February 2011 – Obama directs the Justice Department to stop defending the federal Defense of Marriage Act.

* April 2011 – For the first time in American history, Obama urges passage of a non-discrimination law that does not contain hiring protections for religious groups, forcing religious organizations to hire according to federal mandates without regard to the dictates of their own faith, thus eliminating conscience protection in hiring.

* August 2011 – The Obama administration releases its new health care rules that override religious conscience protections for medical workers in the areas of abortion and contraception.

* August 2011 – The Air Force stops teaching the Just War theory to officers in California because the course is taught by chaplains and is based on a philosophy introduced by St. Augustine in the third century AD – a theory long taught by civilized nations across the world (except America).

* September 2011 – The Pentagon directs that military chaplains may perform same-sex marriages at military facilities in violation of the federal Defense of Marriage Act.

* September 2011 – The Army issues guidelines for Walter Reed Medical Center stipulating that “No religious items (i.e. Bibles, reading materials and/or facts) are allowed to be given away or used during a visit.”

* February 2012 – The Army orders Catholic chaplains not to read a letter to parishioners that their archbishop asked them to read.

   Mark: “Before his 2nd term…?” Oh, ye of little faith.

   Surely God will use Romney to continue judging America just as effectively as He uses BHO.

   This will be especially effective toward putting us Christians to greater shame, for when have you seen true Christians going out 2 by 2 in the streets of American neighborhoods to preach His holy Word as He has commanded?
