Many people like to think that Barack Obama is a Christian.
Last September the President himself told a gathering in Albuquerque, NM that he was "a Christian by choice."
“My family didn’t -- frankly, they weren’t folks who went to church every week. And my mother was one of the most spiritual people I knew, but she didn’t raise me in the church,” he said in a backyard town hall meeting.
But Mediate reports that one television personality isn't buying it.
According to Mediaite, Bill Maher - not known for his conservative point of view - said he doesn't believe Obama is a Christian, but pretends to be one for political reasons, just as he believes the President pretends to be a centrist.
On the Friday edition of Real Time, Maher suggested the President was a secular humanist, like his mother.
This did not sit well with guest Cornett West, who said the President "changed his mind on the God question."
Many have questioned Barack Obama's religious views since his appearance as a national candidate for office.
For years, Obama attended the Trinity United Church of Christ, a church that teaches something known as black liberation theology.
Marie Jon writes at Renew America that the church (and Wright) were committed to a "ten point vision":
1. A congregation committed to ADORATION.
2. A congregation preaching SALVATION.
3. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
4. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
5. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
6. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
7. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
8. A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
9. A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
10. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

For once I agree with that jerk.
I think Bambi’s latest outrageous lie (at the prayer breakfast) intended to give the impression that he was just misunderstood and was really an sincere Evangelical Christian was so embarrassing even to the left that some of them can’t stomach it.
Bill Maher said that?
Wow.
He’s pretending to be POTUS, too......
The Flea Has Jumped To Another Cat
I just saw a pig riding on a unicorn flying past my window.
Ya can’t get much by Bill Maher. s/
Obama is no Christian.
He believes he is god.
“Wow.
Bill Maher said that?
Wow. “
I think you are misinterpreting WHY he said this. He is reassuring the Left that Obama is only pretending to be Christian for political purposes. He’s telling them, “Look, Obama is a politician and he has to do some pandering to the evil right-wingers. If he doesn’t he won’t be nearly as effective at achieving our shared, Godless vision for Amerika.”
Bill Maher is pretending to be smart for political reasons. The man is a clown addicted to the canned laughter and applause on his show.
Nope.
But thank you for playing.
Maher wouldn’t know a Christian if he had been nailed up on Golgotha 2,000 years ago. He probably wouldn’t even know a good carpenter...
It’s obvious. He’s not a very good liar.
Spot on that’s what Maher was covering up.
Me too. If you look at how and where he grew up as well as some of his core beliefs about feminism, I find the concept of Obama being a Muslim is just the wet dream of a few sheltered, die hard Islam hating fundies. Yes, I saw the pictures of him wearing Middle Eastern garb as a teenager, but hell, you can find pictures of purple haired atheists at their first communions.
.
Obama, since he was born of a Muslim father, was born a Muslim by Islamic law.
There is no doubt he is STILL a Muslim.
Just a few quotes from his speeches:
“Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance.”
Barack Hussein Obama
“it is important for Western countries to avoid impeding Muslim citizens from practicing religion as they see fit”
Barack Hussein Obama
“We will convey our deep appreciation for the Islamic faith, which has done so much over so many centuries to shape the world for the better, including my own country.”
Barack Hussein Obama
“The contribution of Muslims to the United States are too long to catalog because Muslims are so interwoven into the fabric of our communities and our country”
Barack Hussein Obama
“I have lived in a Muslim-majority country... I know, because I am one of them.”
Barack Hussein Obama
“As a student of history, I also know civilization’s debt to Islam.”
Barack Hussein Obama
“Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.”
Barack Hussein Obama
“And since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States.”
Barack Hussein Obama
“And I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.”
Barack Hussein Obama
“Moreover, freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to practice one’s religion. That is why there is a mosque in every state of our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. That is why the U.S. government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab, and to punish those who would deny it.”
Barack Hussein Obama
“We are not nor have we even been at war with Islam”
Barack Hussein Obama

This is what the Marxist/Muslim
has done with American tax dollars while
Americans lose their jobs and homes-
and as he prepares to stick Americans with
the highest tax in history!
BILLIONS FOR JIHAD!
Obama’s 2009 Supplemental Appropriations for Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Pandemic Flu was revised and “passed by the full committee.” Not sure what the next step is, but based on the summary, it gives billions http://creepingsharia.wordpress.com/2009/05/13/obamas-supplemental-bill-passes-gives-billions-to-enemies/
of U.S. taxpayer dollars to countries and entities that support Sharia law and/or harbor, hide and support those who want to destroy the U.S. and our allies.
Read the summary from David Obey’s office that was quietly released last week with nary a word from any media.
• $3.6 billion, matching the request, to expand and improve capabilities of the Afghan security forces
• $400 million, as requested, to build the counterinsurgency capabilities of the Pakistani security forces
• Afghanistan: $1.52 billion, $86 million above the request
• West Bank and Gaza: $665 million in bilateral economic, humanitarian, and security assistance for the West Bank and Gaza
• Jordan: $250 million, $250 million above the request, including $100 million for economic and $150 million for security assistance
• Egypt: $360 million, $310 million above the request, including $50 million for economic assistance, $50 million for border security, and $260 million for security assistance
• Pakistan: $1.9 billion, $591 million above the request
• Iraq: $968 million, $336 million above the request
• Oversight: $20 million, $13 million above the request, to expand oversight capacity of the State Department, USAID, and the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan to review programs in Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq
• Lebanon: $74 million
• International Food Assistance: $500 million, $200 million above the request, for PL 480 international food assistance to alleviate suffering during the global economic crisis
• Refugee Assistance: $343 million, $50 million above the request, …including humanitarian assistance for Gaza. Funding for the UN Relief and Works Agency programs in the West Bank and Gaza is limited to $119 million (Note: Gaza = Hamas)
• Disaster Assistance: $200 million to avert famines and provide life-saving assistance during natural disasters and for internally displaced people around the world, including Somalia, Zimbabwe, Ethiopia, the Middle East and South Asia
• Peacekeeping: $837 million for United Nations peacekeeping operations, including an expanded mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and a new mission in Chad and the Central African Republic
• Department of Justice: $17 million, matching the request, for counter-terrorism activities and to provide training and assistance for the Iraqi criminal justice system
The mainstream media remains silent on this but the International News has now picked up the story
http://www.thenews.com.pk/top_story_detail.asp?Id=22164
— and then there is Obama’s $108 billion IMF bailout scheme http://michellemalkin.com/2009/05/13/obamas-100-billion-imf-bailout-scheme/
in addition to the Supplemental.
And THIS is what Obama is doing to American taxpayers:

Obama said the Muslim call to prayer
is “one of the prettiest sounds on earth,”
in an interview with Nicholas Kristof,
published
in The New York Times. Kristof described Obama’s recitation of the Muslim call to prayer,
the Adhan, “with a first-class [Arabic]
accent.”
The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada:
“Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme!
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that there is no god but Allah
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet... “
According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim’s complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam.

Little known facts about Obama:
In 2001, Obama sponsored Illinois Senate Bill 750 creating the “Halal Food Act,” providing for inspections by the Department of Agriculture to ensure that all food labeled Halal is prepared according to Islamic law. http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/legisnet92/summary/920SB0750.html
This act plays into Islamization. Here’s how it works and how Halal food plays a role:
“From 5% on they exercise an inordinate influence in proportion to their percentage of the population.
They will push for the introduction of halaal (clean by Islamic standards) food, thereby securing food preparation jobs for Muslims. They will increase pressure on supermarket chains to feature it on their shelves — along with threats for failure to comply
