In his
speech, Obama speaks to a very closed-minded group of liberals. Obama places
his focus of the speech on his beliefs. He does not believe in basing laws off
of religious beliefs. He believes that laws should be based off of shared
values of the people. He also mentions that people should agree with him, based
on their own beliefs. Obama claims to be a Christian, but does support
abortion. Mr. Keyes says “Obama says he’s a Christian, but supports the
destruction of innocent and sacred life.” Mr. Keyes says this because of the
democratic standpoint of abortion. Mr.
Keyes also makes a critical statement that Jesus Christ would not have voted
for Barack Obama. Obama states the importance of, and places importance of
conservation. He focuses on the separation of church and state. Obama makes a
strong statement, “faith does not mean that you don’t have doubts.” Obama
speaks of his own religious experience, comparing black churches and their
history to modern churches. It was not until after college that Obama dedicated
his life to Christ. He also advises that politics are not all about the
religious morals and values. He supports this by stating, “Folks tend to forget
that during our founding, it wasn’t the atheists or the civil libertarians who
were the most effective champions of the First Amendment.” Obama speak to the
people about how they are “tired of seeing faith as a tool of attack” rather
than bringing people together under one god.
