TIME Report, White House Reaction Raise More Questions About Obama's Church Hunt

How could Obama join any Church? What an odd Church it would have to be! His first act was to export the moral poverty of America to the developing world by allowing American aid to be used for abortion. He is a child killer - a morally depraved individual. You do not have to look far to see the fruits of Liberalism. Look in the abortion mills of America and Europe - as you read this some unfortunate helpless child of God is about to face the murderous attentions of the medical profession protected by perverted law and screamed on by the full furry of extreme feminism. How could any individual who approves and encourages this ever go to any Church. Obama is an abomination in the eyes of the Lord.

Whether or not America is or was a Christian nation is irrelvant. What is truly revealing about a person's values or religion is the religious organisation he chooses to join.
So the church this President joins is very relevant for all global citizens concerned, especially those who have doubts about his previous church, his socialist inclinations and his current economic bail-out policies favouring the Wall Street elite.
If Obama was a Muslim, I would want to know which Muslim mosque he joins. If he is a Buddhist, I would want to know which sect he belongs to and if he is an agnostic/New Age, which agnostic/New Age group or leader is he following.
These matters reveal the heart of the man because religion goes into the roots of the human spirit crying out for truth. Even if religion is used as a fashion statement, we will be able to discern accordingly.

The church the First Family chooses, if any, is their business and no one else's, since that's an intensely personal decision, but I hope he settles on one in his community.
If you read President Obama's first book, he exhaustively searched for the proper church in Chicago to match his life goals, and unfortunately settled on the one over which that wacko preacher presided. Hopefully, the president, God bless him, will have better luck this time, and the church that attracts him and his family will have wonderfully active members.
However, what drew him to that church was its program of hands-on service to the poor in the community, which meshes neatly with his own philosophy of community service.

Why is he pretending then?Your man is either a liar or he does'nt have the balls to say he is an agnostic,atheist or muslim.

As everyone else has stated, this is not news. This is America, Church and State are seperate. The Presidents job is to lead the country, not pick a religion.

Just trying to navigate through both the Old & New Testaments is enough to make any thinking person more than a bit giddy; I had best luck reading both as strange forms of science fiction....
The Obamas have begun traveling outside the USA for biz & pleasure - plus the girls are at a good-quality Quaker school. Settling for a mainstream "church home" would seem to be back-pedaling, I would say!
So, Prez - keep on reading books and trying to stay one step ahead of the Pentagon - if you can - would be my wish for President Obama. As much as a disappointment as he's been re: the environment and gay rights [!!!] still at least he's not an outright Bible-Thumper.
"Keep the Faith" does not necessarily mean getting stuck in a doctrinaire "Religulous" socalled "church home!"

Why should it matter whether or not President Obama is looking for a church to attend? How is it anyone's business, what he believes and how he worships and if he worships at all? People ought to attend to their own beliefs and worry only about themselves! I'm sure that to most of those who are so self-righteously concerned about his religion/worship, there is absolutely nothing that he could do to please them. He'd probably join the wrong church or have the wrong denomination. Indeed, the wrong theology entirely.
Most importantly -- let us not forget -- there is NO RELIGIOUS TEST FOR OFFICE. Please, reread that if necessary, because it is surely a new concept to some people here despite the fact it's been in practice for better than a couple of hundred years now.

So. I didn't know how many of you remember all the way back to your first grade history lesson....but our nation wouldn't even exist if people didn't want church and state separated...they came here to worship FREELY who and how they wanted to. THIS IS NOT SOLELY A CHRISTIAN NATION! Why can you claim your freedoms and Obama can't claim his? Because it is uncomfortable for people? GET OVER IT!

i was smiling at the idea that Barack Obama hunts for a church that is BEST FOR HIS FAMILY..., is finding a church needs to be whats best for us, or what is suitable for us... I thinks its not..., we just need to find a church where we can grow and be the best christian that we can be and perform the duties and task that it set before us... hunting for a church is like advertising a job in the net LOL... its not like we are applying for a job...., what about the church were he came from., does obama have a mother church before he becomes president?
