Religious Authors Tim LaHaye & Craig Parshall Claim Obama Administration "Killing Religious Freedom by Definition"

Tim LaHaye and Craig Parshall, religious authors of "Edge of Apocalypse," claim President Obama and his administration may be killing religious freedom by definition.

We have more from the right wing evangelicals in their desperate attempt to smear President Barack Obama and brainwash anyone willing to listen to their ridiculous claims that his administration may be killing religious freedom by definition. According to the Christian Post, "End Times" authors Tim LaHaye and Craig Parshall claim there is a shadow growing over religious freedom in America. This so-called revelation has come to these two men while they are in the process of releasing a new book, "Edge of Apocalypse." Anything to increase book sales right?

"We are talking about the Obama Administration’s subtle, but apparently deliberate use of a language-sleight-of-hand, substituting the phrase 'freedom of worship' for 'freedom of religion,'" they wrote this past Tuesday.

According to the fiction series authors, President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have "consistently" used the new phrase in several speeches in recent months. They pointed to how the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom also noted the shift and raised a flag on it in its 2010 annual report.

“Because of the policy implications of using ‘freedom of worship’ language, USCIRF urges President Obama, Secretary Clinton and other high-ranking U.S. government officials to return to invoking or embracing ‘freedom of religion or belief’ or similar language in all public statements and stress the universal nature of these and other rights,” the bipartisan body stated.

Sorry, but this amounts to pure BS. President George W. Bush was one of the most secretive presidents in America's history. He invaded Iraq on a lie, saw one of the worst economic collapses in America's history, among other events and I can't remember hearing one right wing evangelical complain or write scathing commentaries about him. This latest smear against President Obama comes on the heels of Dr. Charles Stanley's sermon that America was heading down a dangerous path and to Socialism. The last time I checked, people were free to worship where they chose and let the world know what their religious beliefs and convictions are. This is nothing more than a deliberate smear by people who believe that everyone else should do as they say but not as they do.
