Finding His Faith

Right on New Yorker !!....expose Barack Hussein Obama what his real roots are...its about time someone in the media says it the way it is. Barack Hussein Obama is as Muslim as they come ...and any dummy that can't accept it...too effing bad....and plus..there is no way USA will put a Muslim in the White House....take a cold shower..wake up..and just stop and think about it for a minute...you're gonna say 'oops I effed up".

Kudos to the New Yorker...Michelle Obama...are u proud of your country now ?....its called free speech so don't whine about it....bridezilla.

I am a self-described "Evangelical" Christian who is also a registered Democrat and will be supporting Barack Obama in the Fall. My take on it is this: When a person comes to Christ, what they receive automatically is salvation. What is not automatic or immediate is revelation and regeneration. It is my view that the vast majority of Christians (people who have accepted/confessed with thier mouths Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior), including Sen. Obama, fall into this category of having salvation, yet still striving for greater revelation and spiritual regeneration. Even Jesus' disciples didn't really "get it" (exactly who He was and the exclusive nature of his Deity) until after He was gone, and they spent more time with him than anyone else....In terms of regeneration, the Bible speaks very clearly that (Christians) should strive to have "the mind of Christ" and to "renew our minds". This lets us know that as Christians, understanding doesn't just magically download to us. Being a Christian doesn't mean that we won't ever have doubts. We have to "unlearn" some of the humanistic, intellectual and sensual (things based on the five senses) assumptions that we have been taught since birth and embrace the revelation of Jesus Christ as THE Way, THE Truth and THE Life. We must embrace FAITH, which by its nature means belief in what is not discerned with our senses and sometimes that means believing in what seems improbable or even impossible. That doesn't happen overnight, some people spend a lifetime "getting it", but they are still true Christians. Jesus spent his life embracing and TEACHING those who weren't "super spiritual or religious", who didn't know all the rules and who had kinda "out there" views, but who had a propensity to believe and were willing to learn. I believe that Senator Obama is such a person and that if we as Christians insist on fingerpointing and trying to see who is more Christian than the next person, we will miss a golden opportunity to touch the heart of the king (the President). Remember, Christianity is as prevalent as it is today because someone took the time to sit down and share their faith and "reason with" Constantine. I believe Sen. Obama has received salvation and this endeavor is moving him ever closer to greater revelation and regeneration. Now I'm not saying that I believe Obama will have an 'epiphany' and suddenly try to turn the country into a Theocracy or something extreme like that. I'm just saying that when someone says that Jesus is their Lord, who are we to say that He isn't. Obama strikes me as someone who will at least hear you out, even if he doesn't agree with you, will chew on what is discussed and come to his own conclusion, and that is someone we can work with!

Is it sad that the MSM spends so much time disspelling propaganda about Obama?

Or is it sad that Americans are so dimwitted that the MSM has to spend so much time dispelling these psy-ops?

I guess it's all sad.......PERFECT............but really................

Why in hell would I vote for the tragedians? ....................... The way I see it, the GOP lost all concept of justice.

Democrats on the other hand, are still pro-choice, pro-consumer, pro-education, pro-civil liberties, pro-net-neutrality!!!, pro-healthcare, pro-gay rights, pro-environment, anti poverty, anti Iraq war, anti trying to teach our kids ID in science class rooms.............

The way the world looks to me right now.........and believe me...I've been paying close attention to our leaders these last 15 years................. I can tell you in no uncertain terms.......that ONLY Democrats will get my vote....and the Democrats win in 08.....there is no debate.

In spite of Newsweeks efforts to dispell uncertainty surrounding Obama's beliefs, he remains inexperienced and way too much ( pardon the pun) a dark horse for President. There is something....I can't put my finger on it.....and it is not race....I just don't feel a trust for the man or his wife....It just isn't going to happen... not in this election.

I tell you, I do not know how I ever survived without Obama. Before my savior, Obama, I was a self-sufficient individual, masters degree in business and thought I knew what was best for my family. That was before I found out the Obama had a plan for me. I now look to him for guidance and to direct my life.

Without Obama, each and every one of us would be nothing. We owe our very existence to Obama. The rising of the sun is because Obama wishes it and wants to give us warmth.

Vote for Obama! If you do not then the world will end because our enemy, the Republican devil himself, will make us think for ourselves. Obama, please save me!

Oh brave new world! Oh Obama! Please think for me. Give me Soma so I don't have to think. All I want to hear to pretty, inspirational speeches about a socialist utopia with furry little bunny rabbits hopping around. Please tell me you have a "plan" for me.

Obama, use your vast experience and all knowing knowledge to make my world better.

Tax all of my salary, take away my 1st and 2nd amendment rights, take away my private healthcare, take away my SUV, and raise my family for me. Please, save me from myself.

EVERYONE, vote for Obama and he will save you too.

TO NEWSWEEK: How many covers with Obama will we have to endure. I am a subscriber and I think I've reached a point where I will have to cancel my subscription. While I identify democrat, I am also interested in reading what Republicans and Independents think. I want to be informed! I do not appreciate your in-your-face sale of barack obama. When I look at my stack of neewsweeks from the last couple of months, it appears that just about everyone is about OBama. I could win a jeopardy contest if the Topic was the Obamas, yet I know nothing of the McCains. By way of example, the one issue that had Cindy McCain was nothing compared to the MANY you've done about the Obama's. Even that issue was not entirely about Cindy M. All I learned is that at one point she was adicted to painkillers. You can do better. I lost count of the number of times you've clarify for the public that obama is not a muslim. We get it! if there is any still any doubt, let Obama do his own clarifying - he has enough funds to do it without you free ads.

Who cares What Religion hes in? All I care about is what hes going to do as President! I dont care if hes Christan, Muslim Or Buddhist. What is Wrong with America? Why do we still Mix Politics with Religion? Cant we just say "Barack Obama is a Good Person"?

If Senator Obama wins the election, he can thank Newsweek for giving him plenty of exposure on the cover. I understand that Obama is a political "rock star" right now. However, how about giving some face time on the cover to Senator McCain? I would love to read more about Senator McCain's heroic efforts in the Vietnam War and his true dedication to our country! Also, concerning the article of Senator Obama "Finding his Faith", the man has had some many influences in his life that I am not sure he even knows what he believes. How can a person that is so confused about his own background and religious upbringing succesfully lead our country?

I don't understand why americans are all of sudden religious when it comes to Obama or in this so-called war on terrorism. I think Obama is an idiot, no doubt. But the people who are going to vote have to pick the lesser idiot, and that is obama. mc cain is just a repeat of bush and friends show, and who wants that again. If obama see's the European dipiction of christ to be his salvation then leave him to this, why do people all of a sudden become critics who quote a bible that has been changed several times. Jesus taught and then disapeared from the earth then a man who never met jesus and did not follow Jesus's teaches appeared 50 years later his name was paul. Paul taght another religion and said he did this in Jesus's name, but waqs later killed by a real christain. Then the trinitarians appeared, and slaughtered the unitarians because they believed in one God and not 3 gods and for other political gains. Then this new religion was brought to Europe and then a group broke off and became prodastents and now christians in america have over 25o sects all interipeting the bible the way they choose. So why can't obama do the same?

Tell me...
If Obama plays the race care, which race is he concentrating on? Just curious!

I'm really sorry -- I meant to address that to sjpersonal - who sounds a little off their rocker. Maybe sjpersonal should take the day off a do a little research - could start on McCain's anger management - he seems to have the same problem: In his 1992 Senate bid, McCain was joined on the campaign trail by his wife, Cindy, as well as campaign aide Doug Cole and consultant Wes Gullett. At one point, Cindy playfully twirled McCain's hair and said, "You're getting a little thin up there." McCain's face reddened, and he responded, "At least I don't plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you c#nt." McCain's excuse was that it had been a long day. If elected president of the United States, McCain would have many long days.

This is off-topic, but Jean-Paul Sartre was the father of Existentialism, NOT Friedrich Nietzsche.

How long will it be before Newsweek publishes another issue that does not have Obama's picture on the cover. Your shameless pimping for a candidate is destroying your reputation as a news source.
