I apologize, but I really do not understand what I did to upset you.

A poster copied an email he had received and asked for help to determine whether it was true or 'another myth.' The email suggested Obama was a Muslim because he wasn't wearing a watch or wedding ring during Ramadan, and because he had never attended church while President.

We could all list fifty statements or actions that suggest Obama is either Muslim, a Muslim-sympathizer, or treats Judaism and Christianity as second-fiddles to Islam.

Some posters pointed out reasons why the email might be a myth. The original poster asked for that help.

I simply pointed out that the statement that Obama had never attended church while President was not true, in an attempt to help the poster and address the very question that he or she presented to the Forum.

If I did something to offend you, then I apologize.

My actions were intended to be responsive to the request of the original poster and I believe were factual and on point in responding to the original poster.

It's not a matter of my pointing out "what I think" are email mistruths. The statement was not truthful. I hope that helped the poster.

It certainly wasn't intended to help Obama.

My actions were intended to be responsive...

I responded with going to church doesn't make one a Christian, that's it! And while you agreed, you went on with the myths etc. blah, blah.

I really do not understand what I did to upset you

Trying to understand what isn't true is unproductive.

The statement was not truthful. I hope that helped the poster.

Imagine that - someone thinks that all emails are true and you needed to set them straight from the desk of the office of the minister of truth. Snopes can now go out of business.

If I did something to offend you, then I apologize.

Why does a mind go that route? FEELINGS!!!

Besides, perhaps, more like you didn't appreciate my post. Maybe not agreeing w/you means you were offended since what other reason could it be for me to not agree w/you. Gasp! BTW, you are giving yourself a whole lot of credit in even thinking you could accomplish that.

It certainly wasn't intended to help Obama.

More truth from the minister of truth?

suggested Obama was a Muslim because he wasn't wearing a watch or wedding ring during Ramadan, and because he had never attended church while President.

So now we can take the one 'never attended church' as any proof because the minister of truth said so.
