WASHINGTON DC — During President Obama’s conference call with dozens of faith leaders that provoked a 40-day campaign of religious activism in the form of prayer vigils, advertising, and more, the President revealed that he had uncovered undeniable proof that the nation’s founders intended to invoke the Christian god (“God”) in the U.S. Constitution.1
“It was a clerical manipulation intended to be found at the right moment,” said Obama of the Constitutional reference to God. “Just like ancient manuscripts were copied and recopied throughout the ages, creating and perpetuating early translation and other mistakes while hiding key messages from early religious leaders. The Declaration of Independence, for instance, was drafted and redrafted, and we actually put on display differing copies of what we think is the same document, and it is full of Masonic and other mysterious code.”2
Obama told the religious leaders that “I am my brother’s keeper,” referring to the biblical passage from Genesis where God asks Cain where his brother Abel was,3 and Cain replies, “I know not. Am I my brother’s keeper?”4
Obama insisted that passing health care reform was a biblical mandate, a moral and ethical obligation established by God. Some critics have chided Obama’s decision to invoke the Christian god, but Obama was adamant that the Constitution clearly established the government as a Christian nation. When asked to clarify, Obama pulled his personal, redlined copy of the Constitution from his desk drawer and showed it to reporters attending the conference.
Upon viewing Obama’s copy, the religious experts on hand agreed that Obama had successfully spotted the name of God (Yahweh) spelled out clearly in the Constitution.
Compare for yourself:

“Despite the fact that the language of the pre-God Constitution not only justifies, but also requires the U.S. government to reform health care for the welfare of America’s citizens,” Obama continued, “the biblical god, by way of the Constitution, demands it, so we must follow accordingly. Without our faith, this couldn’t be accomplished.”
A small minority of opponents still argue that prayer and religion have no place in government meetings, but Obama’s administration is well on its way to homogenizing the American religious point of view.
Up to this point, no one had been able to successfully find a pro-religious reference in the Constitution, and religious leaders worldwide have expressed their relief that the United States is finally falling into place among its fellow theocracies.
- Seriously, he more or less did. [<]
- This is absolutely true. See My Inalienably Unalienable Rights and Masonic signers. [<]
- Obviously a rhetorical question, since an omniscient being would already know the answer. [<]
- See Cain & Abel [<]
- I think it’s obvious from the intentionally drawn strong lines of “WE THE” compared to the rest of the Constitution that the author was trying to capture the attention of someone who would recognize how closely it and the Hebrew were matched. [<]

Great read. I’m stumped on how I feel about it ATM. Is he a conspiracy theorist? Is it fact? Is he a religious nut or using religion as a platform to get what he wants? I’m really not sure, but I lean towards the latter.
It is difficult to tell, but the problem here is that now that we have a Democratic majority in Congress, he’s still pandering to the religious groups, and seems to have utterly ignored his novel inclusion of non-believers in his inauguration address. It’s funny how religious critics of Obama bring up the fact that he has still yet to choose a DC church. In the meantime, he’s perpetuating the religion in government that Bush bolstered, including prayer meetings, pandering to mostly Christian religious groups, sustaining faith-based initiatives, having a religious advisor (while not having a secular advisor), advocating for DOMA, perpetuating Don’t Ask Don’t Tell, and so on. If someone were to have slept through the last decade and wasn’t told Obama’s chosen party, I think the person would guess that Obama, based solely on such actions, was really a right wing pro-religious Republican. Obama’s continued obiesance to congressional Republicans despite the obvious fact that there will be no reasonable compromise on the health bill or any other bill, and despite the fact that there’s a solid Democratic majority, is a warning signal to his constituents that he’s not the hope we were looking for.
Yea, unfortunately I’m agreeing with you more everyday. I doubt his act will make it through a 2nd term. But can a president be secular? I was hoping we would see more of that with him… But I’m starting to think either he isn’t the man for that job or the powers that be aren’t allowing him to be.
A president could be secular, but at the moment, an outright secular could never become president. See the difference, and what could be one day?
I do see the difference, but I don’t see how a president could be secular successfully at this point in time.
Do you believe the Constitution is the rule of law? Do you believe in the original intent of our founding fathers? Do you want to reform Congress? If your answer is yes, we have to work together to make this happen.

Interesting. I was, elsewhere, trying to bring up a similar point about the role of government, but I didn’t expand on the whole “welfare” then and now distinction. Thanks for the link.
The Lord is great praise him!
