Indeed. There are atheists and narcissists. Some of the former keep their heads down. Not sure about the latter.

Obama did not grow up in a religious household and became a practicing Christian as an adult. He has written more extensively about his spiritual awakening than almost any other modern president, addressing it in two books before he was elected to the White House and in more than a dozen speeches since.
His faith had been central to his identity as a new kind of Democrat who would bring civility to the country's political debates by appealing to Republicans through the shared language of their Judeo-Christian values.
With just one year left in his second term, Obama now holds a different distinction: No modern president has had his faith more routinely questioned and disparaged. Recent polls show that 29 percent of Americans and nearly 45 percent of Republicans say he is a Muslim.
He has repeatedly said in recent months that one of his biggest regrets is that he will leave behind a country that has grown more polarized and distrustful during his two terms in the White House. "There's all this goodness and decency and common sense on the ground, and somehow it gets translated into rigid, dogmatic, often mean-spirited politics," Obama said in a recent interview.
To understand why he so deeply believed that he could close that gap and why he largely has been unable to do so, it is essential to understand his faith and how it shapes his politics. That faith also explains why he has not given up.

It will take more than a spirtiual cleansing...an exorcism will be in order. And I’m not joking.
Sorry...I am not drinking the kool aid Washington Compost.
He showed his “Christian” colors when he spent 20 years at Wright’s hate filled, anti-Christian, Black Liberation Theology Church.
He shows his “Christian” leanings every day he sides with Islam over Christians being persecuted and killed in Syria.
Obama is a quisling...at the very best. He acts more like a Islamic Fundamentalist sympathizer than anything else.
Ass that...
“the most beautiful sound on earth is the Islamic call to prayer,”
“if the tides of public opinion turn against Muslims, I will stand with Muslims.”
“Christians clinging to the Bible and Guns,” being part of the ill in the world.
Those are his thoughts...and his actions line right up with them.
Biggest pile of crap I ever read.

This from the crowd who believe evangelicals are violent extremists.
HA! He’s schlonging America since day 1. lol
As I was saying to sauropod, what makes it even more irritating is that fact that you know he is experiencing a degree of glee at that fact that it irritates people, seeing this complete and utter...yes...act of journalistic fellatio.
I feel bad propagating the “Lewinsky” meme, I really don’t know anything about her and have always suspected she willingly fell into a trap set for her by a powerful, charismatic (to her) older man who just needed one thing.
She will live with that, and while it was her willing choice, I can’t help thinking she feels genuine regret, so...I do feel sympathy for her. I know what it is like to live with regret and lessons learned.
bfl
What a load of BS.
Of course, you have to understand that in contemporary cultural terms, being a Christian simply means thinking that Jesus was a swell guy. Anything beyond that and you’re just a fanatic.
Re Obama’s world view, agree with you one hundred percent.
Trust me...you don’t want to know.
ROTFLMAOPIMP...’by their fruits’...
Its yet another slobbering wet kiss by the Compost to Bath House.
Remember when 0bama blurted out “my Muslim faith” in an interview with George Steponallofus?
Pshaw
Nope.He was brought up that way but he's been atheist from many years.He *pretends* to be a Christian for obvious reasons and,like most Western atheists,he has a soft spot for the Religion of Pieces.
I found it somewhere on the web.
I doctored it a bit to make it look more real and added the Trump 2016 to the bottom and placed a black frame around it.
As Patton would say: “You, sir, are a f——— genius!”
