Obama’s religion isn't for me

Editor,
At the recent National Prayer Breakfast, Mr. Obama declared that Jesus was on his side with the idea of wealth redistribution by quoting Jesus in Luke, “For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required.” I cannot believe that Jesus was thinking at all about material possessions when he said that. I think he was speaking of God’s precious gift of understanding that God is our Creator and Provider — that He is, in fact, love. Obviously, these are two different interpretations of scripture. Fortunately, because we both live in America, Mr. Obama and I are allowed to have our own interpretations of what we read in the Bible. Neither of us should be compelled ever to accept an interpretation that we don’t hold.
It has become clear to me that Mr. Obama, his advisers and supporters are essentially religious zealots. They think we should all worship their idea of God — a strong federal government that provides unlimited good to everyone. They expect all of us to join in their worship. And they condemn us if we don’t.
It is my strong hope that most Americans will recognize this bigotry and vote to remove it from a position of leadership in November.
