Obama to Accompany Baby Jesus & Wise Men in Italian Nativity Scenes (Yes, Really)
President Barack Obama, riding on the heels of his historic electoral victory this week, has another accomplishment to boot: He will be included, as a character, in traditional Italian nativity scenes in Naples this Christmas. No, we’re not joking.
The president is poised, in figurine form, to appear next to baby Jesus, other Biblical characters and numerous other politicians who are being infused into the traditional holiday story.
As noted, Obama isn’t the only contemporary figure created for inclusion in nativities. According to Euronews, Mitt Romney is also a newfound nativity character.
While one of the Obama designs comes complete with a crown, a depiction of the former Republican candidate comes with tears streaming down his face (i.e. a reaction to his electoral loss). KSEE-TV explains the fascinating development in detail:...

Celebrating the Birth of the Lord Jesus Christ is not pagan. It is totally scriptural to celebrate the Birth of the Lord Jesus Christ as it states in the Bible that the Wise Men came to pay homage and worship the newborn King of the Jews. Celebrating Christmas in a totally secular manner is pagan. But I only celebrate Christmas in the biblical way by celebrating the Birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. Even though the Lord Jesus was not born on 25 December there is nothing unscriptural about celebrating His Birth on 25 December.
Bathwatergate, It is not a violation of the 2nd Commandment against idolatry to own statues of Jesus, the Virgin Mary and the Saints if someone does not pray to or bow down to the statues. Idolatry is praying to and bowing down to statues.
Christopher000, Well I find it disturbing that they would include statues of Obama and Romney in the nativity scene. A nativity scene is supposed to depict the scene at the stable when Jesus was born. And thus it is unscriptural to include statues of Obama and Romney in the nativity scene because Jesus, the Virgin Mary, Saint Joseph and the Wise Men were the only individuals present at the stable.
This is so disturbing. Just one more example of how far mankind has fallen. Not only because of something so disturbing even being dreamed up, but the lack of any outcry in disgust.
