But I suppose it's the natural result of the secular Left in America. They have sought to destroy the gods, but still find that they need at least one. It doesn't surprise me that they've decided to a God out of man. Sick, just sick!

"Barack Obama: Son of Promise, Child of Hope." http://www.amazon.com/Barack-Obama-Promise-Child-Hope/dp/1416971440/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1221359631&sr=1-1 Bizzar really. One of the comments hit the illustrations (alone) on the head: "That being said, I feel I should address the illustrations featured in this book. To be sure, the illustrations are beautifully crafted. A couple of them are a little over the top, though. Case in point: the cover. Barack Obama is portrayed in a quasi-divine posture: Outstretched hands, awash with beaming rays of light. Other examples: The one I like to call "Obama: Master of the Universe, or On the Eighth Day, God Created Barack". He stands against a swirly black background, surrounded by tiny, colorful dots of light resembling stars. The third shows Obama looking contemplative, butterfly perched on his hand." How did all of this Obama worship come about? My wife came acrossthe following children’s book when cruising amazon.

I don’t really believe that Obama set out to form his own cult, but the increasingly secular and disillusioned culture of America and Western Europe has been ripe for an ideologue for some time and they have seemingly deified him. I have to agree, Jonolan, from what I have seen so far. Disturbing. What Obama has done is sell hope and faith.
