Reasonable people will agree that much of Mr. Obama's biography is not exactly an open book. Many things about him are unknown because they remain undisclosed, and much that has been disclosed leaves many questions unanswered at the same time as new ones are raised.
This article concerns something about Mr. Obama's life history that, to the best of my knowledge, has not yet been explored -- even though what is about to be discussed is, ironically, an "open book."
Readers are about to learn that Mr. Obama has supplied two completely contradictory accounts regarding the time frame of his conversion to Christianity.
Startlingly, Mr. Obama has adhered to a story that says he converted to Christianity sometime around 1987-88 as well as a story that says he converted in the early 1990s. Readers will see that this is easily verified with information the documentation of which cannot be contested.
Thus, unsurprisingly, part of what follows involves yet more dereliction of duty on behalf of the MSM. It also involves, though, questions about Mr. Obama's two autobiographies.
Dr. Jack Cashill has raised what many consider very good questions as to who really authored Mr. Obama's autobiographies. With respect to this issue, this article takes the stance that since Mr. Obama has never disavowed authorship, when it turns out that the autobiographies both contain and omit information that is detrimental to Mr. Obama's interests, reasonable people will hold Mr. Obama himself responsible.
So when did Mr. Obama actually convert to Christianity?
Let's begin with the 1987-88 possibility. Mr. Obama, in an April 5, 2004 Chicago Sun-Times interview with Cathleen Falsani, says he went up for the altar call in Wright's church "16, 17 years ago. 1987 or 88."
It is hoped that readers will here forgive their writer very brief aside

Dear Friend,
As I am sure you have read this week, many Catholic organizations, schools, dioceses, and businesses are suing the chosen one over his absurd and offensive assault on religious freedom——his Planned Parenthood HHS mandate to force Catholic institutions to violate their faith. A reckoning is coming.
One can only be a hypocrite if one claims first to be a Christian. Obama claims Christ. Yet his life’s focus is the vouchsafing of abortion and the slaughter of children. He may have no principles, no soul, and no conscience, but by God he is resolved when it comes to ensuring the murder of the preborn. He gets an A+ in this regard. His recent “wrestling” with his “evolving” understanding of the sacrament of marriage is a farce. He is a demonically driven human being. He is a liar. “Truth, what is truth?” He is a deceiver. He is a destroyer. He is a hypocrite. He wants to destroy the Christian way of life and advance his human secularist pagan agenda.
He is no more a Christian than Pope Benedict is a Muslim. His words mean nothing. Judas was a disciple. Satan quoted scripture to Christ. Obama is a liar and the very definition of a hypocrite.
Christian charity, kindness, understanding, and counsel need to be saved and used for those who are lost, those who are struggling, or those who are wrongly attacking us or our Christian faith. The great and powerful O says he is a Christian. Therefore, he must know better. He has chosen to deceive. He has chosen to lie. He has chosen to use Christ and his phony façade of Christianity to advance his political pagan aspirations. Period. He worships at the altar of human wisdom and has no love or fear of the Lord. He is a fool, but a clever one.
Take a stand. American Life League will not bow before this pagan king. This man is a chastisement sent from God to test His people. America has lost her way. America is the land of the free and the home of the brave——a country founded on Christian ideals and God-given freedoms rooted in truth and natural law. Our pagan king seeks to destroy. Oppose him. Live your faith. Speak your mind. Boycott his supporters. Boycott those who vomit on Christianity and attack marriage through support of Obama’s homosexual deviant agenda.
“If the world hates you, know that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.” Embrace that!! Live it. Fear not.
Enough is enough.
If Obama’s a Christian, I’m Queen Marie of Romania.
From muslim to taqqiya christian.
President Obama is an Obammunist. ;)
Mystery Religion: Mr. Obama's Contradictory Conversions to Christianity
So, we can believe this part of His 0-ness' biography as much as any of the rest of it. Surprise!
"Kind-a true, sort-a. In a way."
Walking the aisle at an altar call, in a United Church of Christ church? That's something that plays well with the evangelicals, but I don't think UCC does that sort of thing. Which makes me think the story is a little fishy, or massaged for a particular audience.
From the interview:
Interviewer: Who’s Jesus to you?
Obama: Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he’s also a bridge between God and man...And he’s also a wonderful teacher.
Obama: There’s the belief, certainly in some quarters, that people haven’t embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior that they’re going to hell...I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell.
Interviewer: What is sin?
Obama: Being out of alignment with my values.
Interviewer: What happens if you have sin in your life?
Obama: ... if I’m true to myself and my faith that that is its own reward, when I’m not true to it, it’s its own punishment.
Interviewer: What are you doing when you feel the most centered, the most aligned spiritually?
Obama: I think I already described it. It’s when I’m being true to myself. And that can happen in me making a speech ...
Stupid me, I always thought that sin was a result of me being out of alignment with God’s values, regardless of what my own particular thoughts and values were telling me.
For those who may wonder, I have no doubt that Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and Kim Jong Ill acted completely in alignment with their own values.
RE: Interviewer: What is sin?
Obama: Being out of alignment with my values.

It’s always I, me, my to the one. Christians believe that they first and foremost, sin against God.
Since Obama believes that sin is out of alignment with HIS values, guess what that makes him in his own mind...
when and where was he baptized, does he have a baptismal certificate???? We know he understands baptism because he said that Wright baptized his daughters.
