I would be interested to hear Nobama’s definition of a Christian. I remember reading that he said he believed his mother was in heaven because she was a kind person.
2004 Interview: Obama Talks about Jesus, Heaven and Sin (CBN Posted on Tuesday, October 21, 2008)
GG: Do you believe in heaven?OBAMA: Do I believe in the harps and clouds and wings?
GG: A place spiritually you go to after you die?
OBAMA: What I believe in is that if I live my life as well as I can, that I will be rewarded. I dont presume to have knowledge of what happens after I die. But I feel very strongly that whether the reward is in the here and now or in the hereafter, the aligning myself to my faith and my values is a good thing.
When I tuck in my daughters at night and I feel like Ive been a good father to them, and I see in them that I am transferring values that I got from my mother and that theyre kind people and that theyre honest people, and theyre curious people, thats a little piece of heaven.
