Finding His Faith

Comment: Wow - what a beautiful article and beautiful man. I will apologise up front if I say something not true but believe I have read this somewhere or possibly been told by someone. After reading this article if someone asked me what this man's religion is I wouldn't know what to say. All of a sudden he is "biracial" (never once saw him not being "black" during primaries). Wait a minute...he got the black vote in the primaries....have to work on the white vote now. Note to self: when I become president and someone asks how does it feel to become the first "Black" (or whatever ethnic, appropriate present name should be used), remember to say, "Black?....I'm white". This article shows how intelligent this man is or should be. He belonged to a church that was "Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian" for over 20 years and had a close relationship with Rev Wright (who is now?...a "flawed, human creature" ). Twenty years all black only - guess he never noticed. I know I have read numerous times that he was raised "Muslim" as a child - but now he was never "Muslim" (the American president is the number one target of the Muslim world - let's add denouncing that you were never one). How long will it be before his staff tells him what church he can join? They apparently told him it will be sometime after the election. "Ewwwwwwwwww...I love to dance a little side step...now you see me...now you don't...I'm here and gone" (Best Little Whorehouse In Texas). By the way....I'm black (I wanted to vote Democrat in the election - right now I won't be voting).

Is it not Christ who said: "He whois wirhout sin, cast the first stone." Christ was very heavily influenced by the Buddist where he grew up, who believe we are all one. God is love! He who dwels in love dwels in God, and God's in him.

It is not a Christian's job to tell another how they should believe. That was what we fought a Revolutionary war over.

It's so unfortunate that here in the 21st century, a person can't be elected president unless he can adequately prove to under-educated, unread, uncultured and untraveled middle-America that he personally communicates with a supernatural force from beyond the heavens. I am so terribly disappointed that the xenophobic, narcissistic cultural stagnation of the mundane controls the democratic process of my country.

LEAVE OBAMA'S RELIGIOUS BELIEFS ALONE!

I'm from Canada and I must admit some confusion about the U.S. media's concentration on your candidates' religious persuasions. You are after all electing the leader of (still) the most powerful nation on the earth, not a person for the pulpet, nor the Holy See nor the brightest mench to lead a rabbinical school. Does not the value of separating church and state still have resonance with the American people?

As pointed out already, we have seen the Obamanation's spirital leader speak for him when he said
"GD American, GD American, GD America".

This guy, along with his disgusting wife, are the epitome of anti-American, left-wing, marxist/socialist. And now he wants everyone to speak Spanish. This is coming from his slave master George Soros

I am a Christian, that means be "LIKE CHRIST"
When I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior in 1970 I accepted Him, I believed what Gods word said'
I knew I was a sinner, I believed Jesus died on the cross for my sins and the sins of the world, and that He rose from the dead on the third day, and I believe that as Gods word says, He is coming back and every knee show bow before Him and acknowledge whom they have pierced'.
My life was changed, and my journey started with Jesus Christ, and still is going even stronger now in 2008.
If Obama was a Christian, I'd say he didn't have to look elsewhere, that he would know the truth and that truth set him free like it did me. All i know is this, the Bible says there are going to be many deceivers in this worldand antichrists, till the anti christ who will bring a one world religion, one world government comes about., WHICH is on the way I'd say. I am not judging but they say be wise, and from what I have heard Obama say on anything, hes one of the anti christs in this world, smooth, so conifdent, and changes his spots every time to fit the situation, so people will accept him. I will pray that its not too late for him to turn and really accept Jesus Christ and know that Jesus is the only "way, truth, and life'.

Comment: MCCAIN DOESN'T GO TO CHURCH. HE LEFT HIS DISABLED WIFE AND THREE KIDS FOR A YOUNG BEER HEIRESS WHOM HE STARTED AN AFFAIR WITH THE NIGHT HE MET HER. HE'S BEEN A "KEPT MAN" EVER SINCE. -- do I have to yell it?

TELL ME WHO'S CLOSE TO GOD?

MCCAIN DOESN'T GO TO CHURCH. MCCAIN LEFT HIS FAMILY FOR A YOUNG BEER HEIRESS WHOM HE STARTED AN AFFAIR WITH THE NIGHT HE MET HER. HE'S BEEN A "KEPT MAN" EVER SINCE. -- do I have to yell it?

Newsweek (Allison Samuels, 5/4), quoted interviews with Obama's campaign advisors and Oprah Winfrey.

The crux of her story was that Obama's insiders claimed his membership with Wright's church was "due to a search for his identity as an African-American and, more importantly, as an African-American man."

According to the article, Reverend Wright and other male members of the church were instrumental in helping him understand the black experience in America.

However, whereas, Oprah left Wright's church after a couple of years, Obama continued with this man for twenty tears, because Oprah claims that Obama saw Wright as his," father figure." Now put this into perspective, Obama was searching for his identity twenty years ago; He was looking for a "father figure in Pastor Jeremiah Wright!

Actions speak louder than words. Obama claimed that Hillary Clinton supporters were uneducated, low-class whites, clutching guns and going to church.

I find it hard to believe that Obama IS a Christian. I have not heard him discuss:
Anger that the Founding Fathers Beliefs have been written out by the Contemporaty Courts, and that Prayer was removed WITHOUT ANY PRESCIDENT>

He has not called anyone to repentance for the Acts of Murder we as a Nation have allowed (Abortion).

He has not discussed the increase by over 550% Sexually Transmitted Diseases since Prayer was removed.

He has not discussed the divorce rate increasing by over 300% since 1963....

He has not mentioned that our SAT Scores have dropped and have never come up for Public Schools by over 80% since 1963

That preganancies under sixteen (specifically 10-14 year olds) rose by over 500%......

And the list goes on. Why have neither Candidates called the Nation to Repentance? Why has th ACLU continued to encourage the Made Up Doctrine of Seperation of Church and State?

No Obama is not a true Christian or he would be angry and motivated to call us to repent and clean up the mess we are in. Audacity of Hope? Not in the Humanist Manifesto or Secular Humanism......The Doctrines of the Democratic Party. Look em up,and read 'em and weep........

Our forefathers wanted us to have a foundation for this country steeped in religious and intellectual freedom. They were accosted and abused in england for their particular brand of Christianity and wanted no such bias and abuse in their own new country. Reason, logic, and the fair balance and application of law should guide the hands of our leaders. Hope and faith of ones own self worth and spiritual value are inherent in the minds of all intellegent people, our political leaders included. The specifics of each ones particular brand of religion should really have little if any affect on policy and public opinion concerning how they are going to do their job. The Magna Carta was an excellent early law charter which influenced our governments legal and political foundation along with certain precepts of biblical law, not because they intended to lock this country into Christianity, but because in just about every religous text there are admonitions and advisements which have humanity's best interest in mind and appeal to the human need for fairness and order. If Obama has a broad and varied experience with religion, it just means that he has the ability to understand where more people are coming from in an experiential way. It's about time we started acting like the post reniassance society that we are and stop harping on hellenistic and stagnant roads of inquiry. Will Obama respect everyone's belief and react swiftly against any person or group which tries to use or twist it's belief for hate, murder and oppression? Of course! Will he encourage a dialog between different groups for understanding, peace and trade? Of Course! Will he reflect each one of your beliefs and choose sides and preach from a presidential pulpit? He had better not!! We don't need a precher in the White House and everyone knows that! Why should Obama's style of religon even matter to any of you unless your just hoping for some kind of grand self validation by seeing your same religious values and stances mirrored back at you? Are you seriously worried that a president who doesnt relfect your same views will trample all over them? I'm allergic to coco but I have yet to pitch the candy bar vending machine out of the window at my office. I think the color pink is disgusting but you wont catch me burning a pile of pink garments in protest just because I dont like them. President Bush claimed to be a born again Christian and that did not keep him from lying to the entire country several times. You should all be relieved that Obama is not using his religious stance as a platform in this race. The last president who did that was just using you all because he knew that you would follow who ever pretended to be just like you.

Message to the Press: BARAK OBAMA RELIGION IS NON OF YOUR DAMN BUSINESS! AS A RESULT, THERE NEEDS TO BE RESTRICTIONS PLACED ON FREEDOM OF THE PRESS; YOU FOLKS ARE ABUSING YOUR CONTITUTIONAL PRIVILIDGES! WERE I PRESIDENT, I DEFINATLY WOULD RESTRICT YOUR PRESS FREEDOMS!
