Shamin' his Mama, that boy . . . and at a PRAYER breakfast!

At a prayer breakfast?  Really?!

Gearing up to give the closing prayer, Robert Griffin III first invited President Obama to shoot a round of hoops (promising “I won’t dunk on you at all,” out of deference to the office), then said the breakfast had been “really long.” He joked he hadn’t gotten the memo about how to behave and imbibe on the dais, had been drinking liquids for hours and really had to use the restroom.

Somewhere, someone is doing a face palm.
 
Oh, and God hates the 1% . . .
 

President Obama speaking at the National Prayer Breakfast, said his policy arguments stem from his interpretation of his Christian faith. For the wealthy to give up tax breaks, he says, is simply following the scriptural mandate: “To whom much is given, much shall be required.”

 
So, it's not the President who is going to soak the rich.  It's God's will.  Can't touch that!
 
Remeber, $250,000 a year and over is wealthy per Obama , , ,
 
Then the going really got weird:
 
Obama was preceded by writer Eric Metaxas, who prompted lots of awkward laughter—the kind of moments where you’re not sure if he’s kidding; you’re kind of outraged but kind of, um, inspired?



He launched his talk before thousands of mostly Christian conservatives by slamming the $175 ticket price tag as totally 1 percent, “price gouging” and “money-laundering.”


The biographer and “Veggie Tales” writer described finding God in a period of deep depression as a young man, and was introduced to the ideas by an Episcopalian: “They don’t believe this stuff anyway,” he joked. But this one did.


And about the ideas in his books, one of which was read by former President George W. Bush, “who is intellectually incurious, as we’ve all read,” he joked.


But his deepest message was that Christianity has been warped into a focus on doctrine and judgment. “Pious baloney isn’t faith. Imagine talking to Jesus that way. He’d almost laugh,” Metaxas said.


He cited slavery and the Holocaust and asked who in 2012 is considered expendable?

“You think you’re better than Germans? You’re not.” He called on those who, like him, believe abortion and same-sex relationships violate God’s will, to “love those who do not see that yet.” Applause at that line. “You must treat those on the other side with love.”

I think his comment regarding George W. Bush was sarcasm, as if to suggest to any liberals, no, he is not an idiot, he read my book.  But I am guessing the "warped" factor of Christianity is a jab against groups like Catholics, who do not follow the line of moral relativism.  But he's pro-life and against same-sex marriage. 

 

I am confused.
