Going biblical, part 2

Regarding Obama’s bizarre swerve into muddling church and state (by the way, it’s remarkable, isn’t it how all of the sudden it’s a religious imperative to enact a political agenda?), here’s a few more passages from a book considered by many to be holy:

Proverbs 16:18 Pride goes before destruction, a haughty spirit before a fall.

Proverbs 11:2 When pride comes, then comes dishonor, But with the humble is wisdom.

Proverbs 18:12 Before destruction the heart of man is haughty, But humility goes before honor.

Jeremiah 49:16 “As for the terror of you, The arrogance of your heart has deceived you, O you who live in the clefts of the rock, Who occupy the height of the hill. Though you make your nest as high as an eagle’s, I will bring you down from there,” declares the LORD.

Obadiah 1:3 “The arrogance of your heart has deceived you, You who live in the clefts of the rock, In the loftiness of your dwelling place, Who say in your heart, ‘Who will bring me down to earth?

Inspired by an Andrew Klavan[*1] post, where he says, in part:

Obama told the rebs (rabbis), “We are God’s partners in matters of life and death.”

In response to this statement I would like to make a subtle theological point: No, we’re not. For those of you who aren’t versed in the finer points of theology, let me try to simplify that for you: No. We’re not. Or to put it even more simply: No. We. Are. Not.

It is not Obama’s opponents who are risking the heights of pride and hubris. Most of us just want to be left alone, really. We’re certainly not going around elevating ourselves to a point where we think we’re God’s partners. My vague recollection of Sunday School is that there’s only one man who sits at the right hand of God, and it isn’t Barack Hussein Obama.
