Obama Bungled the Religion Question

It is said by many that you cannot know the heart of another man in his relation to the Maker; that it is between him and God. That is not true. God makes it plain how we can know if those who speak in His Name are true or not by the words of their mouths; which reveal the content of the heart. Obamas words, and actions, make accepting him as "Christian" at least suspect. His agenda reveals a man who is comfortable with abortion, even late-term, and the homosexual lifestyle as well as his unabashedly proclaiming the merits of the Muslims, many of whom, have their own agenda as well, which is not good for America, ie, Shariah law, not to even include the "terrorists" element.
Being a Christian and knowing what the Word of God says about a man who follows Obamas creeds, I would be hard pressed to accept him as a brother in Christ. In fact, I wouldn't do it without having a long discussion in private with him, which is impossible. That being said, and from where it all stands right now, I do not believe that Obama is a Christian. I believe he is a muslim at heart if not by practice....based on his words and his actions. And not even a "good" muslim at that as he eats pork and drinks alcohol and has a pet dog.
There is something about Islam that appeals to him to a greater degree than Christianity does by far. Yet, not enough of either Christianity or Islam has a claim on him to make much difference. Obama considers himself his own "messiah" and the "One" sent to save the world and that is his true religion.

you can be a muslim and an american; it's not one or the other. Your inability to see that belies your prejudice.

Other than his rather clumsy attempt to sell us on his faith, what does Obama do to demonstrate it? I don't really think he is a Muslim, but he speaks much more highly of the Quran than he does of the Bible. And he speaks much more lovingly of Muslims than he does of Christians, or Jews for that matter. As to his real religion: he worships himself.

I think the question as to whether Obama is a Christian is a farce! He is what he is and that is a political opportunist who will bend with the wind just as the slimey guy Clinton did to stay in power. The facts speak for themselves. He is more worried about how the Muslims perceive him than the people of his own country! I guess I should also dismiss what is right and wrong to keep the poor, illiterate, oppressed and obviously happy Muslims from saying bad things about us. Why is it strange to not want the Muslim horde to kill us and convert us in the meantime. Obama has no sympathy with our country. He will send us down the river in an heartbeat. Yea, Chicago extremists. What have we done? Vote as many times as you can! That means one vote for us who work and as many as can be counted by those who are on the public dole.

I think that it was a fairly decent question really. I mean if you ask that question to the "man on the street", you would get as many answers as there are grains of sand on the beach. A lot of people who profess to be Christians ought to ask themselves that question and then refresh themselves on the tenets of Christianity. A lot of us will find ourselves falling short. As for the president's religious preference it shouldn't be such a big deal after all Nixon was a Quaker and that is supposed to be one of the most anti-war sects of all but that didn't stop him from bombing the heck out of Vietnam. He got elected twice! Overwhelmingly!! And ended in disgrace, so before all you so-called pious Christians out there start passing judgement, you'd best remember one of the most overlooked passages of the Bible, judge not least you be judged.

Liberals don't care what religion he is or if he even has one. It's not us he's trying to convince.

Obama has been to church more in the past month then he has his entire term. What a joke, liberals buy it but real Americans see it as just another Obama fraud perpretrated on the citizens of this great country.

I also wish he would've answered the way you suggested, Mr. Felzenberg. But, with the rising tide of islamophobia (sp?) in this country, I don't think we can fault the man for choosing to give a straightforward answer over making this into a "teachable moment."
Every president before this one has been a white, Christian male. Obama has been treated to more than the usual criticism expected from the losing side. He's been cast as an other. I can see how his team might think it critical to make it clear that although he is not white, he is at least Christian (and obviously male).
I sincerely doubt in my lifetime we will see a president elected who does not claim to be a christian. This president broke the racial barrier; I don't fault for not doing more to dismantle the religious barrier, as well.

The birther movement was started because your savior was not forthcoming with his birth records. When an advid Hillary supporter threatened to sue over his birth records Obama then released a document to "factcheck.org" claiming that it was his birth certificate. This raised the first real question: why did he release it to the ulta-liberal fact check.org rather than releasing it to the general public. The second question is why has he refused to release his long form birth certificate and why has he spent millions keeping this $17 document hidden from the public. Next question is why hasn't a doctor/nurse or hospital come forward claiming to be the ones that birthed the President of the United States? This clandestine behavior then brings into question why he sealed his kindergaten records, yes that's right, he sealed them.
Liberals can go on mocking birthers all they want but the joke is on them because they blindly follow a man that has made a mockery out of our system. Didn't Obama say he would be the most transparent President, I will remind the liberals that he did say this but they were too busy crying and worshipping to notice.
Anybody with an ounce of common sense can see that something stinks here. I don't know where Obama was born, all I know is that he is clearly hiding something and it is this sort of distrust that spells doom to the liberals in november because the country is tired of being lied to.

You birthers need to get a life evidence has been shown he was born in the US, and what do his kindergarden or any other documents prove.
I dont like his policies or his arrogant attitude when faced with opposing views. I find him a shallow man unable to take resonsibility for anything hes done. I find him childish playing the blame game an adult would say this is what Ive done it doesnt appear to have worked as I would have liked. He wouldnt keep whinning about it was worst than we thought.
But as far as his birthplace Birthers get a life
