Why does the media report the President's failing escapades or a story about two black men holding up a local convenience store but avoid reporting real news?

The real news is: The Bible is no longer worth the paper it is written on. The Bible is no longer the compass to direct America's moral and spiritual path. The Bible no longer has a place in America's past, present or future.

God cannot be mentioned in government or schools programs. Christian prayer may not be said in public schools and could be soon prohibited in churches and could become a federal offense.

If you happen to be Muslim, you're OK if you want to speak to Allah. America is very tolerant. The media is implying that President Obama's favoring of Muslims contributed to his being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Since the Bible is no longer worth the paper, politicians are declaring they are God and if not, at the least equal to God. They do so by legislating laws that offend the Bible.

They are sanctifying same-sex marriages. The president had no sense of urgency about coming to the aid of our troops in Afghanistan but he quickly responded to the demands of a few thousand gays who were demanding special treatment.

The voters have the right to know how politicians come to their decision to validate same-sex marriages.

If both the politicians and the gays would use verses or books of the Bible to defend their argument, I'm sure the case would be closed. They could also ask a Muslim, who would probably agree with the Bible.

If President Obama would clarify his convictions about same-sex civil unions and same-sex holy matrimony, the politicians might be able to explain why the Bible is no longer worth the paper it is printed on, and why they should be re-elected.

Meanwhile, Americans will identify America as a Christian nation and pray for us all and pray outside the schools instead of inside.

In fact, rather a holy or unholy cause, it's the demonstrations that get the attention.
