He speaks of a god in generic terms, hardly if ever mentioning the Name of Jesus. He believes not in the personal salvation of a messiah, but in collective salvation in which society becomes one in equality by overturning the past sins of human society. In other words, it's a salvation by works. The One True God has something to say about that:

"For by grace are ye saved through faith [in Christ]; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

As for his 'Patriotism', or I should say, his lack of it, he has demonstrated nothing but animosity toward the country he was elected to lead. Bowing to foreign heads of state as a slave would to his master and taking every opportunity to apologize for America being a land of the free and home of the brave. He said "It is important for us to make sure that very graphic photos of somebody who was shot in the head are not floating around as an incitement to additional violence. As a propaganda tool...". Actually, the photo would have made an excellent 'tool' Mr. 'President', not for propaganda, but for fear, warning those that terrorism against the United States will not be tolerated! Here's what you should have done:

When you came to the podium Sunday evening to announce the death of Osama Bin Laden, you should have held up the photo of his blood-drenched body to the camera. You should have looked straight into the lens and said, 'If you hurt American citizens, whether here or abroad, you will die like this. If you come to this country to carry out terrorist acts, you will die like this. We don't care if you don't like us, but don't cross us, or you will die like this. We will hunt you down, no matter where you are, no matter how long it takes, and you will die...like this.'

And for all you folks reading this that believe I'm being too harsh, let's not forget about the blood the Lord spills when He returns:

"And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God." (Revelation 19:11-15)

It's a fearful thing to fall under the wrath of the living God when He's angry. And if we had a President that actually believed in Him, it would be a fearful thing to fall under the wrath of the United States of America.
