Focus on the Family Action Projects: Dystopia Under Obama

Here’s Focus on the Family Action’s 16-page mock letter written by “A Christian from 2012.” It lays out the moral dystopia (terrorist attacks on U.S. soil, homeschoolers as refugees, pornography everywhere) America will become after 4 years of an Obama presidency, and is aimed particularly at younger evangelicals who (it claims) were responsible for naively handing Obama the margin over McCain: Forgive them for they knew not what they did.
Over at Progressive Revival, Matthew 25’s Mara Vanderslice reports on the umbrage taken by some evangelicals, including including the following: “This kind of propaganda is ridiculous. No one thinks that any of this is going to happen, let alone all of it. I just can’t understand how any Christian can think that this type of false witness is acceptable.” The letter does amount to a kind of backhand compliment to Obama, who can be flattered that Focus believes he could accomplish so much in just one term.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
