Hijacking faith?

Evidently, Illinois Senator and Presidential candidate Barack Hussein Obama is now claiming that some evangelicals have "hijacked" the faith, claiming that that which was intended to "bring us together" was being wrongly used to "drive us apart."

I'm sad to say that it doesn't surprise me that a speaker at the convention for the "Unitarians Considering Christ" (officially "United Church of Christ") would ignore numerous Biblical examples of faith splitting the faithful from the faithless in making such a pronouncement. Of course, if they can't figure out the Trinity from the Scriptures, it's probably a safe bet that they'll have a bit of trouble with other Biblical doctrines, too.

Exactly how accusing evangelicals of "hijacking faith" is going to bring people together, or how it's going to "court evangelicals," as Obama suggests he'd like to do, is beyond me. Maybe he's counting on the "Stockholm Syndrome" to get votes?
