Idol worship: Big government as Americans’ golden calf

I was around nine years old when Dad took me to see the movie The Ten Commandments, starring Charlton Heston, at the Town Theater in downtown Baltimore.  It was a big deal for us because the theater had just begun admitting blacks.

The Adoration of the Golden Calf' / Nicolas Poussin (1594-1665)

Etched in my brain is the scene when Moses came down from the mountain to witness the Israelites engrossed in an orgy of self-indulgence, celebrating the new god they created, a golden calf.  They had abandoned God to worship a man-made false god.
I chastised fellow black Christians for worshiping a false god of skin-color, monolithically voting to give Obama a second term despite their awareness of his anti-biblical agenda.   …
On November 6, 2012, half the country, which includes millions of Christians, chose a Democrat and media man-made “golden man” idol as their “new” Lord and Savior.  Amazingly, actor and Obama disciple Jamie Foxx admitted it.
While Obama appears to be the “golden” idol and focus of worship, America’s real new false god is government, hidden behind Obama’s well-crafted shiny gold exterior.
The Israelites surrendered the gold items (their inheritance) brought with them from Egypt to build their new golden calf idol. In like fashion, Democrats and the media convinced millions of Americans to surrender their biblical principles, freedom, and liberty (their birthright) to build a golden idol of government.  …
Obama is a false prophet.  He persuaded millions to vote their vested interest, sacrificing biblical principles, law, freedom, and liberty.  I am hearing of more black Christian pastors, in worship of their new god Obama/government, coming out in favor of gay marriage.  While Jesus praised investors and rebuked the coward afraid to invest in the parable of the talents, Obama has demonized investors — branding them reckless and greedy.
