Does it really matter if Obama goes to church on Christmas? (Here’s a hint: no)

As I sloshed through the internet last night, I came across an article on CNSnews.com  The headline, “White House Doesn’t Know If Obama Will Attend Church on Christmas”, had me shrugging my shoulders.

Who the hell cares if Obama will go to church on Christmas?

This man is responsible for running our country–which I might add is on the brink of utter collapse–and his Christmas habits are of issue?

He’s a bit busy–> We shouldn’t hold missing “Sunday services” against him.

I confused about how going to church on Sunday will positively contribute to the president accomplishing his goals for America.  Is it a surprise that an intelligent black man is running to God because that’s what everybody else is doing?

President Obama’s chief role model, Abraham Lincoln didn’t go to church on a regular basis.  It’s no secret that Lincoln abhorred attending church–though he did desire a relationship with God.  In fact, when he was running for election, he was often referred to as an atheist for refusing to have a church home and attend regularly.  Is top political adviser told Lincoln that he risked losing the election as a result of his lack of religious zeal.  And yet Lincoln invoked God and his divine plan repeatedly during his life; you can want a relationship with God that doesn’t include organized religion.

Obama is like Lincoln in many respects, including his religious “devotion.”

And yet, my lovely little find of an article made no qualms about their true goal, which was to throw another layer of hate toward those listeners whose mind is already convinced of Mr. Obama’s “evilness.”  Fred Lucas’ article invoked the toxic Rev. Wright, President Obama’s former pastor, spending more than half the article recanting Rev. Wrights stupidity(and of course, they also did NOT discuss the presidents rebuttal of Wright’s tragic lingo).

Lucas also gave the article a nice taste of Carey Cash, the chaplain at Camp David.  But jow EITHER of these two gentlemen fit into President Obama’s decision to go to church on Christmas is completely irrelevant.  Apparently, Lucas thinks that his audience isn’t smart enough to spot a red herring when they see one.

I could care less whether President Obama and his family attends church on Christmas, any more than I care if he fasts during Ramadan; none of this is a determining factor of whether or not he will be a productive, efficient and smart leader.

We know that there are people who go to church on a regular basis, but are not affected by the beauty found in congregating with like-minded people.  There are individuals as well who rarely attend church, yet they have a devotion for Christ that basks in a warm glow.  We see God (the good, kind one, that is) in all their actions and motivations–yet church they disdain.

Going to church doesn’t make you a “good Christian.”  Christianity, like all faiths, is supposed to help you create a relationship with the maker, if that’s your belief.   But really that’s it.  It doesn’t “mean” anything other than our president has a relationship with God that doesn’t require a church to validate.

Isn’t that a good thing?
