I hope you are not a writer, because I am not and even I saw that was an awful analogy. You have the right to bow down to a tree, greeny tree huggers do all the time, so go right ahead. But don't expect the government(TAXPAYER) to be expected to provide the tree with contraception and little tree killing pills! There is much that I DO NOT agree with the catholics about but abortion, and the day after pills I do agree. The sanctity of life is to be protected. AND government should have NO hand in buying rubbers, or BCPs, or day after killer pills. I think even your elm tree would agree with that. If not, then let it buy it's own. For the life of me, I do not understand why when a Republican professes his faith it is page one news for a month. When obama "preaches" at a church for filthy lucre or if Clinton meets with Billy Graham, clutching his bible, no one says a word.

Obama's Marxist Faith Is Legitimate Campaign Issue Election 2012: Normally a president's faith is a personal, not political, matter and should be left alone. But Obama's faith dictates his political agenda, and therefore is fair game as a campaign issue. GOP presidential front-runner Rick Santorum did not go "well over the line," as the White House howled, when he questioned Obama's faith during a recent speech. He didn't go far enough. Santorum said Obama practices a "phony theology" not based on the Bible. He said it's tied to his agenda and led by "radicals" like the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Both are true statements. But there's more. What he also could have said, but stopped short of saying, is that Obama's faith — Black Liberation Theology (BLT) — is actually a front for Marxism and communism. That makes it not only a legitimate topic of discussion, but a critical issue worth investigating. If only the mainstream media would. Thanks to their refusal, Pew recently found 43% of Americans don't know what Obama's religion is. As we said in a series that ran on these pages in the run-up to the 2008 election, it's important they find out. BLT, in fact, is the Rosetta stone for understanding Obama and his agenda, decoding his rhetoric, and divining where he plans to take this country. Here is a primer: • The doctrine is an explicitly Marxist interpretation of the Bible whose aim is to stir up class and race hatred. • BLT combines the teachings of Christ with those of Marx to justify the overthrow of the capitalist system. • It does not believe the Bible is inerrant. Hence, it can be, as Obama put it, "modified to accommodate modern life." • A core tenet holds that Christ was a black revolutionary oppressed and "lynched" by white Roman colonists, and that he delivered a liberating message of social and political change. He was not for all but only for the poor and oppressed — a liberator, not a personal redeemer. • BLT ignores the epistles of Paul and the other apostles since they accept the institution of slavery that existed at the time. • It also rejects heaven as "pie in the sky" and instead advocates changing the world in the here and now, something that Obama has said he found "very attractive." • As professor James Cone, the father of BLT, once explained it, "Black theology seeks to prepare all nonwhites for revolutionary action." news.investors.com
