Christian radio ads discuss Obama's faith
Religious PAC airs pro-Obama ads on Christian radio in Colorado

A liberal Christian political action committee is set to air radio ads backing Barack Obama on Christian radio stations in Colorado and six other battleground states, according to the Christian Broadcasting Network’s Brody File. One of the ads produced by Matthew 25 Network features Obama discussing his Christian faith as his “source of hope,” and another features a “pro-life, pro-Obama” argument from a Christian legal scholar.

Leftwards Christian soldiers

...something else is at work here, besides just Obama's effective outreach to religious voters. He is also benefiting from the leftward drift of religion in America in general. This is a long-unfolding trend that another survey — this one commissioned by Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly and the United Nations Foundation — points up.

Their survey found, for example, "generational change" among younger evangelical Christians who have adopted "a more inclusive definition of what it means to be 'pro-life' and are more supportive of efforts to combat global warming".

Another striking finding from the survey — one which lends itself to Obama's anti-war pitch to Christians — is: "The religious landscape has shifted with evangelical Christians now expressing the greatest support for an interventionist role, while more moderate religious groups like mainline Protestants and Catholics take a more isolationist posture".

4. Quite frankly I think Jesus Christ hates the christian taliban, and what they're doing in his name.
