During and after the 2008 campaign, President Obama repeatedly identified himself as a Christian for whom the Sermon on the Mount figured prominently in his faith. The Sermon on the Mount, as he has acknowledged, is a radical text of nonviolence, self-sacrifice, and enemy love. Since taking office, President Obama has massively escalated the war in Afghanistan, resulting in increasing civilian deaths and massive human suffering on the part of Afghans and Americans sent to fight his war. This video is offered not as an attack on the President's personal faith. Instead, it's intended to be an illustration of the way in which many Christians, including President Obama, seem willing to set aside the ethical content of the Sermon on the Mount when it conflicts with national goals. Mr. President, for Christ's sake, end this war. This video uses clips from Rethink Afghanistan (http://rethinkafghanistan.com), The Passion of the Christ, Gandhi, and various bits of footage from around the Internet. The music featured in the final montage is "Agnus Dei" by Psalters (http://www.psalters.org).
Leviticus 24:44 Slavery Translation: Servants-"Slavery", however demeaning, is not brutal where the masters truly recognize themselves as Gods servants.

Leviticus 11:12 Anything living in the water that does not have fins and scales is to be regarded as unclean by you.
And then the page was turned and Christ graced us:
----Christ made all foods cleanMark 7;19 For it doesn't go into their heart but into their stomach, and then out of the body." (In saying this, Jesus declared all foods clean.)
Obama didn't finish Deuteronomy 21:18-21 A Rebellious Son
18 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” 21 Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.
Translation- Stubborn and rebellious, Does not obey. In wicked defiance of the fifth commandment.
Sermon on the mount: yeah, it's real radical:
