TNA Cover Story — Obama: Beyond the Idea of an Icon

Obama Deification

By Selwyn Duke

There has long been a certain objection to the divine command that
we should worship God. It is simply: Why does God need you to worship
Him? It is, really, an eminently fair question, and it has an eminently
logical answer: God doesn’t need you to worship Him. You need to worship Him.
Worshipping God has, among other things, the very great by-product
of reminding us who God is and, by extension, who He is not: us.

This
may seem obvious, but history has shown that this simple fact more
often than not eludes man. For instance, Egyptian pharaohs were
considered very important gods in their culture; in 44 B.C., Julius
Caesar erected a statue of himself with the inscription, “The
unvanquished god”; and in the mid 2200s B.C., King Narim-Sin of the
Akkadian Empire was known as “the god of Agade.”

    Selwyn, has it hit right on the nose. The worship of Obama is nothing new. Deviant leaders throughout time have sought god ship and heathens have sought someone/something to worship.
    The book “United in Hate” by Jamie Glazov expands the thought Selwyn so artfully crafted, and gives several examples of the recent historical record to back it up. It is human nature to submit to a higher power; all dictators know this…our founders knew this. This is why we have a Constitutional Republic, with a balance of powers, checks and balances and they made many comments on the necessity of faith in God and morality….they knew people have a God shaped hole in their heart that will be filled by God or something else.

    Will you cut all this garbage about Obama being deified by all Democrats ? This has been true of only a handful of extremist leftist wackos here.
    If anything, no politician in US history has been so vilified and lied about by paranoid right-wing nutcases like you and so many other gullible conservative Americans. He’s absolutely no threat to America, even though he’s no doubt make a lot of mistakes so far and will continue to,just like all presidents.
    He’s no more a communist than the Pope is pro-choice. He’s not going to turn America into another communist dictatorship and has absolutely no intentions of doing so. Garbage,garbage,and nothing but garbage.
    That’s all you and other right-wingers have been spreading about Obama. But beware the next Republican presidential candidate; this could very well be a right-wing extremist snake in the grass and wolf in sheep’s clothing who will sucker gullible conservatives into thinking that he or she is going to”save” America from Obama, while planning to turn this country into a fascist evangelical theocracy behind their backs-BY FORCE ! Now that’s scary, not Obama.
    Presidents are supposed to be sworn in by swearing on the Bible to uphold the constitution. But if a scoundrel like this gets power, he will be sworn in by swearing on the constitution to uphold the Bible !
    If that happens, God help America.

    Walt, the Robert’s of the world never do. Even if they read all the words there is still no understanding. Ideology trumps reason. Sometimes that happens with conservatives too, just not as often, and seldom to that extreme.
