PS 46:1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
PS 46:4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
PS 46:5 God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.
PS 46:6 Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.
PS 46:7 The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.
PS 46:8 Come and see the works of the LORD,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.
PS 46:9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear,
he burns the shields with fire.
PS 46:10 "Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth."
In the weeks leading up to the memorial service, controversy surrounded New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s decision to not include religious leaders or prayers in the ceremony. On Friday, Bloomberg said that a memorial service with prayers and religious leaders would be like the government forcing religion “down people’s throats.”
Regardless of Bloomberg’s decision, prayers and religious speeches were abundant at the ceremony.

I am sure O has a similar respect for God's word.
You can choose whatever you like. We have freewill to make those choices. The fact that you make a choice does not change reality though. What is, is. What is not, is not. Truth = Truth whether we like it or not.

What God? The "god" mentioned in the psalm? So are you on board with this then? Hell with human choice? You have read have you not, that Yahweh doesn't allow freedom of religion?
"To see people praying to the same God in different languages, to see the breadth of diversity, the people there, the Muslim and Jew, the Christians of every stripe, the Buddhist and many other religions present, to hear all of them saying 'peace be with you,' was a very cathartic and uniting experience," Villaraigosa said Sunday.
"In the decade since the 2001 attacks on the United States, terrorists have succeeded only in the murder of innocents, often from among those they claim to represent. Al-Qaida is now weaker than at any time in the decade since 9/11 — and political progress through peaceful protest in the Middle East and North Africa has shown it to be increasingly irrelevant to the future. The true expression of what people in the Muslim world aspire to was seen not at Ground Zero in 2001, but in squares and streets across the Middle East and North Africa this year. So while we remember the victims of 9/11, stand firm with our allies and remain tirelessly vigilant against future threats, we also face the future with confidence in our values and faith in human nature." — Statement from British Foreign Secretary William Hague.
Islam's Latest Contributions to Peace "Mohammed is God's apostle. Those who follow him are ruthless to the unbelievers but merciful to one another" Quran 48:29 2011.09.12 (Misau, Nigeria) - A suspected Boko Haram assault on a bank leaves seven dead. 2011.09.12 (Maluku, Indonesia) - Five people are killed when machete-wielding Muslims attack a Christian village on a false rumor. 2011.09.11 (Baquba, Iraq) - A journalist at a cafe bleeds to death following a Mujahid bombing. 2011.09.11 (Charkh, Afghanistan) - The bodies of six civilian contract workers are found five days after being abducted by Sunni militants. 2011.09.11 (Wardak, Afghanistan) - Children are among the casualties when Fedayeen detonate a truck bomb. 2011.09.10 (Ghazni, Afghanistan) - Religious radicals assassinate a police chief.
Its official Jesus is the same as Allah and Christianity is the same as Islam,
according to Mayor of LA, Villaraigosa
I don't see the big deal, give the man a break he's just reading from the bible and it's not like he forced you to listen to it.
You guys complain about everything he does......
I don't blame the religious, I blame the manipulators. I blame every politico that says a pseudo-prayer at their conventions.

I agreed with his statements at first (non advisability of using Bible for public policy), too bad President Obama isn't Senator Obama. President Obama doesn't seem to mind turning 180 degrees away from Senator Obama's statements.
Am I to assume that you think Bible makes good public policy?
The following video is badly edited, but it becomes very clear that Obama has a pro Islamic agenda.

1) As president he won't let Islam be denigrated (fail)
2) "This is not a Christian Nation" technically true. But after reading the Psalm in question, is this now a Judaic nation in his estimation?
I believe in the seperation of church and state.
The only King that can possibly rule this world effectively and justly is Jesus Christ, until that day comes we have to put up with the best that mankind has to offer.
