More on Obama

Tim Clutter posted a comment to last week's blog on Mr. Obama (click comment at the bottom of that post). Thank you, Tim. You're the first person to comment back.

Not every "Christian" officeholder makes decisions consistent with his Christian values. Sometimes persons without a professed faith take positions with which Christians can agree even if they arrive at them by different routes. I tend to look at the position. For example, I am troubled by Mr. Obama's reversal of the Mexico City policy and the implied pro-abortion position it may ultimately impose on hospitals and medical professionals who are pro-life. On the other hand, the refocusing of the war on terror to Afghanistan seems consistent (at this point) with the government's biblical responsibility to restrain the evil doer (Romans 13).

The last I looked Mr Obama belongs to a Christian denomination, albeit one of the most politically and theologically liberal churches to be found in America.
