What is the religious right's problem with Barack Obama?

I don't agree with calling anyone an 'anti-christ' (it's just inflammatory). But here is a little explanation abt. why some would call him that, from my pov.

Antichrist: A word used by John to describe one who would assume the guise of Christ, but in reality would be opposed to Christ (1 Jn. 2: 18, 22; 1 Jn. 4: 3-6; 2 Jn. 1: 7). In a broader sense it is anyone or anything that counterfeits the true gospel or plan of salvation and that openly or secretly is set up in opposition to Christ. The great antichrist is Lucifer, but he has many assistants both as spirit beings and as mortals. See 2 Thes. 2: 1-12; Rev. 13: 17; Jacob 7: 1-23; Alma 1: 2-16; Alma 30: 6-60.

The 'anti-christ' tag is in direct response to Rev. Wright. Rev. Wright claims to be a god-fearing man, but what is being shown in the media is a psychotic, power hungry, abusive man trying to pervert the teachings in the bible to his own agenda. Since Obama originally defended Wright, many people have come to associate him with the same kind of mentality as Obama.

Now Obama has completely seperated himself from Wright and that church, but for many, it's too late.

The 'anti-christ' tag can also come from the fact that many people believe Obama to be decietful about his true stances on many issues. Many people feel he is a 'wolf in sheep's clothing'.

Hey, what's the fun in an election without an antichrist? Still, there is a reason why Barack Obama is easier to portray as an antichrist than Kerry or Gore, and no it's not that he's half-black or that his last name is not a nice sound in a rr's ear. It's because he's optimistic, perhaps even slightly visionary, and positively charismatic. Most right-winged apocalyptic thinkers agree that the antichrist will be able to sell his story of bliss in this world exceptionally well. Kerry and Gore just never fit that bill.

Partly, his "rock star" rise, due to those who don't realize what he's about. I live in Oregon and yes, there were 70,000 in Portland to see him, but what few know is that his "act" was opened by a ROCK BAND that played the Russian national anthem. ( You won't hear THAT from the left biased media!! )

Is that what YOU want for a president? I sure don't! This guy isn't just scary, he's working for the adversary!!

Well, for whatever reason, they don't like him. I don't want to call people racist because in this case, being a Democrat is enough for religious people to dislike Obama.

Religious people do not react like normal people to things they dislike. Look at all of the crazy things they believe about Obama, like he's a secret Muslim (whatever that is). In reality, there are plenty of good reasons not to like Obama but since religious people see the world in religious terms, all of their reasons are 'religious' in nature. They don't know or care about a candidate's economic or foreign policy (mostly because those words are too hard to spell), all they want to talk about is how a candidate fits in with their narrow-minded religious views. They don't like Obama, so logically, he must be against everything their religion teaches. This is why they willingly believe all of these religious lies about Obama and how he is in favor of all this anti-religious nonsense.

EDIT: I see we have more liars here. The Russian national anthem may have been played, but the US anthem was played first. This is traditional when foreign sports teams visit the US. We play our anthem and then theirs, out of respect. Of course, certain people have no concept of showing respect to people from other cultures.

My problem with Barack Obama is that he wants a bigger government, when I think that what this country needs is for its federal government to shrink and a return to personal responsibility and individual determination. That, and he hasn't proven himself in his three (two if you don't count the campaign) years in the senate.

I can take better care of myself than Barack, Hillary, and John combined.

My love of individual freedoms is the deciding factor in how I vote, not fabricated religious drama.

I think it is more because of the recent church he attended for so many years and the Koran book he studies

most Christians in America know that God isn't about racism he is there for all humans not just a skin color issue and because of his lack in the holy bible i think many see him as a non believer who claims to be a christian man yet isn't living and believing the American christian way but this is what i would see it as it isn't intended to be for every ones point of view.

To be honest I do not think Obama is qualified to lead

the country,,,,he has not been to Iraq to see anything,

he want,s to bring the troop,s home the 1st day

and when he does we will fight them in our back

yard,s by 1 year from then,, Hillary is more qualified

but I don't trust her because she lie,s..

I'm not a member of the religious right and I think he's scum. Of course "anti-christ", and nonsense about tagging children has nothing to do about it. There are plenty of other reasons however, including these:

No one should ever judge another for exercising the free will God gave them.. Who among us has not made mistakes..
