I just do not understand why so many people (on TOTV and all over the web) are referring to Obama as a messiah...or the messiah. Personally I think it is sacreligious as I consider myself a christian. This is my opinion.

I understand that we are ready for change....and that both parties are promising change. But honestly this is too much!

Farakhan(not that I listen to him much) has so much as called him this....Chris Mathews has referred to it being "The New Testament"....

I know there are many others....

I am a democrat and I believe in Obama...more than McCain...with all Obama's flaws...he is still my choice....however I do not see him as The Messiah....

as a christian I believe we have already had that...and there is only one.....

as a voter....I just have hope that things will change with Obama in office....I do not see him as a Miracle worker....a savior....just a passionate man who wants the best for his country and works hard to do it....same as McCain.....just going about it differently....

Can anyone explain why it is necessary to use this reference?

I know this will get heated....but it is something that needed to be brought up....
