America's Most Biblically-Hostile U.S. President

By David Barton - 10/25/2013  www.Wallbuilders.com      
 
When one observes President Obama’s  unwillingness to accommodate America’s four-century long religious conscience protection through his attempts to require Catholics to go against their own  doctrines and beliefs, one is tempted to say that he is anti-Catholic. But that  characterization would not be correct. Although he has recently singled out Catholics, he has equally targeted traditional Protestant beliefs over the past  four years. So since he has attacked Catholics and Protestants, one is tempted  to say that he is anti-Christian. But that, too, would be inaccurate. He has been equally disrespectful in his appalling treatment of religious Jews in  general and Israel in particular. So perhaps the most accurate description of  his antipathy toward Catholics, Protestants, religious Jews, and the Jewish  nation would be to characterize him as anti-Biblical. And then when his  hostility toward Biblical people of faith is contrasted with his preferential  treatment of Muslims and Muslim nations, it further strengthens the accuracy of  the anti-Biblical descriptor. In fact, there have been numerous clearly  documented times when his pro-Islam positions have been the cause of his  anti-Biblical actions. Listed below in chronological order are (1) numerous  records of his attacks on Biblical persons or organizations; (2) examples of the  hostility toward Biblical faith that have become evident in the past three years in the Obama-led military; (3) a listing of his open attacks on Biblical values; and finally (4) a listing of numerous incidents of his preferential deference  for Islam’s activities and positions, including letting his Islamic advisors  guide and influence his hostility toward people of Biblical  faith.

1. Acts of hostility toward people of Biblical faith:

  • June 2013 – The Obama Department of Justice defunds a Young Marines

    of a non-discrimination law that does not contain hiring protections for

    conscience protection in hiring.
    [10]



  • February 2011 – Although he filled posts in the State Department, for more
    than two years Obama did not fill the post of religious freedom ambassador, an
    official that works against religious persecution across the world; he filled it
    only after heavy pressure from the public and from Congress.
    [11]



  • January 2011 – After a federal law was passed to transfer a WWI Memorial
    in the Mojave Desert to private ownership, the U. S. Supreme Court ruled that
    the cross in the memorial could continue to stand, but the Obama administration
    refused to allow the land to be transferred as required by law, and refused to
    allow the cross to be re-erected as ordered by the Court.
    [12]



  • November 2010 – Obama misquotes the National Motto, saying it is “E

    their beliefs, and fully implements the plan in February 2011.

    [19]


2. Acts of hostility from the Obama-led military toward people of Biblical faith: 

  • October 2013 – A counter-intelligence briefing at Fort Hood tells soldiers

    donate to such a group “was punishable under military regulations.”
    [20]



  • October 2013 – Catholic priests hired to serve as military chaplains are
    prohibited from performing Mass services at base chapels during the government
    financial shutdown. When they offered to freely do Mass for soldiers, without

    permission to do so.
    [21]



  • August 2013 - A Department of Defense military training manual teaches
    soldiers that people who talk about "individual liberties, states' rights, and
    how to make the world a better place" are "extremists." It also lists the
    Founding Fathers -- those "colonists who sought to free themselves from British
    rule" -- as examples of those involved in "extremist ideologies and movements."

    [22]



  • August 2013 - A Senior Master Sergeant was removed from his position and

    marriage.
    [23]



  • August 2013 - The military does not provide heterosexual couples specific
    paid leave to travel to a state just for the purpose of being married, but it

    [24]



  • August 2013 - The Air Force, in the midst of having launched a series of
    attacks against those expressing traditional religious or moral views, invited a
    drag queen group to perform at a base.
    [25]



  • July 2013 - When an Air Force sergeant with years of military service
    questioned a same-sex marriage ceremony performed at the Air Force Academy's
    chapel, he received a letter of reprimand telling him that if he disagreed, he
    needed to get out of the military. His current six-year reenlistment was then
    reduced to only one-year, with the notification that he "be prepared to retire
    at the end of this year."
    [26]



  • July 2013 - An Air Force chaplain who posted a website article on the
    importance of faith and the origin of the phrase "There are no atheists in
    foxholes" was officially ordered to remove his post because some were offended
    by the use of that famous World War II phrase.
    [27]



  • June 2013 - The U. S. Air Force, in consultation with the Pentagon,
    removed an inspirational painting that for years has been hanging at Mountain
    Home Air Force Base because its title was "Blessed Are The Peacemakers" -- a
    phrase from Matthew 5:9 in the Bible.
    [28]



  • June 2013 – The Obama administration “strongly objects” to a Defense
    Authorization amendment to protect the constitutionally-guaranteed religious
    rights of soldiers and chaplains, claiming that it would have an “adverse effect
    on good order, discipline, morale, and mission accomplishment.”
    [29]



  • June 2013 – At a joint base in New Jersey, a video was made, based on a
    Super Bowl commercial, to honor First Sergeants. It stated: “On the eighth day,
    God looked down on His creation and said, ‘I need someone who will take care of
    the Airmen.’ So God created a First Sergeant.” Because the video mentioned the
    word “God,” the Air Force required that it be taken down.
    [30]



  • June 2013 – An Army Master Sergeant is reprimanded, threatened with
    judicial action, and given a bad efficiency report, being told he was “no longer
    a team player,” because he voiced his support of traditional marriage at his own
    promotion party.
    [31]



  • May 2013 - The Pentagon announces that "Air Force members are free to
    express their personal religious beliefs as long as it does not make others
    uncomfortable. "Proselytizing (inducing someone to convert to one's faith) goes
    over that line,"
    [32] affirming if a sharing of faith makes
    someone feel uncomfortable that it could be a court-marital offense
    [33] -- the military equivalent of a civil
    felony.



  • May 2013 - An Air Force officer was actually made to remove a personal
    Bible from his own desk because it "might" appear that he was condoning the
    particular religion to which he belonged.

    tiny Scripture verse references that for decades had been forged into weapon
    scopes.
    [36]



  • April 2013 - The Air Force creates a "religious tolerance" policy but
    consults only a militant atheist group to do so -- a group whose leader has
    described military personnel who are religious as 'spiritual rapists' and 'human
    monsters'
    [37] and who also says that soldiers who
    proselytize are guilty of treason and sedition and should be punished to hold
    back a "tidal wave of fundamentalists."
    [38]



  • January 2013 – President Obama announced his opposition to a provision in
    the 2013 National Defense Authorization Act protecting the rights of conscience
    for military chaplains.
    [39]

    ensuring that a Bible is available in rooms for those who want to use them.

    star Army general and decorated war hero Lieutenant General William G. (“Jerry”)
    Boykin (retired) from speaking at an event because he is an outspoken Christian.

    [43]

    Capabilities Office (the word on the patch was in Latin: Dei).

    [46]



  •  November 2011 – President Obama opposes inclusion of President
    Franklin Roosevelt’s famous D-Day Prayer in the WWII Memorial.
    [47]

    facts) are allowed to be given away or used during a visit.”
    [50]



  • August 2011 – The Air Force stops teaching the Just War theory to officers
    in California because the course is taught by chaplains and is based on a

    [51]



  • June 2011 – The Department of Veterans Affairs forbids references to God
    and Jesus during burial ceremonies at Houston National Cemetery.

3. Acts of hostility toward Biblical values:
 

  • August 2013 - Non-profit charitable hospitals, especially faith-based ones, will face large fines or lose their tax-exempt status if they don't comply with new strangling paperwork requirements related to giving free treatment to poor clients who do not have Obamacare insurance coverage. [54] Ironically, the first hospital in America was founded as a charitable institution in 1751 by Benjamin Franklin, and its logo was the Good Samaritan, with Luke 10:35 inscribed below him: "Take care of him, and I will repay thee," being designed specifically to offer free medical care to the poor. [55] Benjamin Franklin's hospital would likely be fined unless he placed more resources and funds into paperwork rather than helping the poor under the new faith-hostile policy of the Obama administration.

  • August 2013 - USAID, a federal government agency, shut down a conference
    in South Korea the night before it was scheduled to take place because some of
    the presentations were not pro-abortion but instead presented information on

    issues, and maternal mortality" among women giving birth who had previous
    abortions.
    [56]



  • June 2013 – The Obama Administration finalizes requirements that under the
    Obamacare insurance program, employers must make available abortion-causing
    drugs, regardless of the religious conscience objections of many employers and
    even despite the directive of several federal courts to protect the religious
    conscience of employers.
    [57]



  • April 2013 – The United States Agency for Internal Development (USAID), an
    official foreign policy agency of the U.S. government, begins a program to train
    homosexual activists in various countries around the world to overturn
    traditional marriage and anti-sodomy laws, targeting first those countries with
    strong Catholic influences, including Ecuador, Honduras, and Guatemala.
    [58]



  • December 2012 – Despite having campaigned to recognize Jerusalem as
    Israel's capital, President Obama once again suspends the provisions of the
    Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 which requires the United States to recognize
    Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and to move the American Embassy there.
    [59]



  • July 2012 - The Pentagon, for the first time, allows service members to
    wear their uniforms while marching in a parade - specifically, a gay pride
    parade in San Diego.
    [60]



  • October 2011 – The Obama administration eliminates federal grants to the
    U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops for their extensive programs that aid
    victims of human trafficking because the Catholic Church is anti-abortion.

    same-sex marriages at military facilities in violation of the federal Defense of
    Marriage Act.

    showing Planned Parenthood helping alleged sex traffickers get abortions for
    victimized underage girls.

    judge’s decision striking down federal funding for embryonic stem cell research.

    [66]



  • August 2010 – The Obama administration Cuts funding for 176 abstinence
    education programs.
    [67]



  • July 2010 – The Obama administration uses federal funds in violation of
    federal law to get Kenya to change its constitution to include abortion.
    [68]



  • September 16, 2009 – The Obama administration appoints as EEOC
    Commissioner Chai Feldblum, who asserts that society should “not tolerate” any
    “private beliefs,” including religious beliefs, if they may negatively affect
    homosexual “equality.”
    [69]



  • July 2009 – The Obama administration illegally extends federal benefits to
    same-sex partners of Foreign Service and Executive Branch employees, in
    direction violation of the federal Defense of Marriage Act.
    [70]



  • May 2009 – The White House budget eliminates all funding for
    abstinence-only education and replaces it with “comprehensive” sexual education,
    repeatedly proven to increase teen pregnancies and abortions.
    [71] He continues the deletion in subsequent
    budgets.
    [72]

    agency that promotes abortion and works closely with Chinese population control
    officials who use forced abortions and involuntary sterilizations.
    [76]



  • January 2009 – Obama lifts restrictions on U.S. government funding for
    groups that provide abortion services or counseling abroad, forcing taxpayers to
    fund pro-abortion groups that either promote or perform abortions in other
    nations.
    [77]



  • January 2009 – President Obama’s nominee for deputy secretary of state
    asserts that American taxpayers are required to pay for abortions and that
    limits on abortion funding are unconstitutional.
    [78]


4. Acts of preferentialism for Islam:


  • February 2012 – The Obama administration makes effulgent apologies for
    Korans being burned by the U. S. military,
    [79] but when Bibles were burned by the military,
    numerous reasons were offered why it was the right thing to do.
    [80]



  • October 2011 – Obama’s Muslim advisers block Middle Eastern Christians’
    access to the White House.
    [81]



  • August 2010 – Obama speaks with great praise of Islam and condescendingly
    of Christianity.
    [82]



  • August 2010 – Obama went to great lengths to speak out on multiple
    occasions on behalf of building an Islamic mosque at Ground Zero, while at the

    deemed offensive to Muslims, including jihad, jihadists, terrorists, radical
    Islamic, etc.
    [85]



  • May 2009 – While Obama does not host any National Day of Prayer event at
    the White House, he does host White House Iftar dinners in honor of Ramadan.
    [86]



  • 2010 – While every White House traditionally issues hundreds of official
    proclamations and statements on numerous occasions, this White House avoids
    traditional Biblical holidays and events but regularly recognizes major Muslim
    holidays, as evidenced by its 2010 statements on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and
    Eid-ul-Adha.
    [87]


Many of these actions are literally unprecedented – this is the first time they have happened in four centuries of American history. The hostility of President Obama toward Biblical faith and values is without equal from any previous American president.
