Seuraavassa muutama katkelma Obaman pitämästä muistopuheesta Charlestonissa. Tällä palstalla kreationistit ovat fundis nuoren maan kreationisteja tai mooseslaisia kivienheittelijöitä. Kaikki muut ovat heidän silmissään ateisteja tai ainakin harhautuneita vääräoppisia, jotka eivät ole ottaneet Jeesusta sydämeensä.
Kuitenkaan puheen pitäjä ei ole YE-kreationisti eikä minkään muunkaan suunnan fundamentalisti. Tuntuisi kuitenkin, että hän on tavoittanut kristillisyyden ytimen tuossa puheessa... Mitä mieltä olette kreationistit?

Oh, but God works in mysterious ways. (Applause.) God has different ideas. (Applause.)
He didn’t know he was being used by God. (Applause.) Blinded by hatred, the alleged killer could not see the grace surrounding Reverend Pinckney and that Bible study group -- the light of love that shone as they opened the church doors and invited a stranger to join in their prayer circle. The alleged killer could have never anticipated the way the families of the fallen would respond when they saw him in court -- in the midst of unspeakable grief, with words of forgiveness. He couldn’t imagine that. (Applause.)
....
As a nation, out of this terrible tragedy, God has visited grace upon us, for he has allowed us to see where we’ve been blind. (Applause.) He has given us the chance, where we’ve been lost, to find our best selves. (Applause.) We may not have earned it, this grace, with our rancor and complacency, and short-sightedness and fear of each other -- but we got it all the same. He gave it to us anyway. He’s once more given us grace. But it is up to us now to make the most of it, to receive it with gratitude, and to prove ourselves worthy of this gift.
