A Christian activist says Barack Obama has done nothing to reconcile his actions and words with his professed Christianity.
Senator Obama (D-Illinois), the presumptive Democratic candidate for president, recently held meetings with prominent Christians, including Franklin Graham and Bishop T.D. Jakes. But Rick Scarborough, president of Vision America Action, says evangelical leaders send a confusing message when they meet with Obama. "This is a man that has never seen an unborn fetus that he wouldn't abort," chides Scarborough. "While serving in the state legislature in the state of Illinois, [he] served on a committee that literally prevented a bipartisan piece of legislation which would have offered medical services to botched abortions," he points out. Scarborough goes on to criticize Obama's stance on homosexuality. "He's radically pro-gay...even to legislating against sections of the Bible and preventing those of us who embrace those sections of the Bible from preaching biblical truth," he argues. "So I'm troubled by it." He notes that in a speech earlier this year, Obama referred to verses in the Book of Romans as an "obscure text." According to Scarborough, it seems that Obama prefers political correctness on certain social issues -- rather than Holy Scripture -- as his final authority for faith and practice.
