I continue to be amazed by the messianic elements of the Obama movement, particularly so when those who might otherwise have rejected organized religion and would be sitting in secular campsites are lining up to happily drink the Kool-Aid. It speaks to me of a deeper need that an entire segment of the electorate seems to have, to want to be led, to want to be inspired, to want to have their hopes and dreams fulfilled in the life and leadership of one person. I've never completely witnessed this before in my lifetime, and yes, I find it frightening.
Herewith, "We Are Building a Religion" and "Personal Jesus."
