Is President Obama a Christian, an ape, a potato, or none of the above?

Fellow San Diego examiner Anna Cheuvront recently published an article entitled "President Obama talks about his faith at the National Prayer Breakfast." Within the article, President Obama is quoted as saying:

"My Christian faith has been sustaining for me over the last couple of years and even more so when Michelle and I hear our faith questioned from time to time. We are reminded that ultimately what matters is not what other people say about us but that we are true to our conscience and true to our God."

President Obama claims to be a Christian, yet that claim has been challenged, questioned, and disputed by others who do not believe President Obama really is a Christian. According to a recent poll, the majority of U.S. citizens do not believe President Obama is a Christian.

So who is to say that President Obama is or is not a Christian? Anna and I began to debate this in her comments section, thus giving birth to this article as thoughts of how to respond occurred to me.

If there is not some clear understanding or consensus on who or what someone or something is, then confusion will naturally ensue.

He is a Christian in the same way Jesse and Sharpton are "Christians". It has to do with the Leftist Elite and their ingrained racism.

When a White person professes a belief in Jesus as a Christian, (Bush, Palin, and countless others) they are assailed a racist, bigoted, violent, murderers. (Napolitano, Hollywood, MSM, ACLU) However, when a Black person expresses the same exact beliefs, the same Leftists consider it to be cute. (elitist thinking: Well..., they are ethnic and don't really know what they are doing, or, they are doing it only to further the cause and don't really believe any of that nonsense.)

The only reason Bahar, O'donnel, Griffin, and Mahr are not pulling their hair out by now is because he is Black and therefore gets the Leftist Elite pass.

Obama is a Christian in the same way that I am a potato. He is a Christian but believes Jesus was nothing more than a "great teacher". He is a Christian but never goes to Church. He is a Christian but bows to every Muslim King or Muslim cause he every met. He is a Christian but celebrates no Christian holidays. He is a Christian but says, "the Muslim call to prayer at sundown is the prettiest sound on Earth". He is a Christian but says, "My Muslim faith".(and on and on)

The only thing the prayer breakfast did for me was to prove once again how similar Obama and McCain really are. Both will say and 'be' anything in a crunch to get reelected. Both are without any moral compass.

McCain really should be his VP. They are a perfect match.

10 to 1 your "tree" was produced by an atheist.

I'll gladly take that bet.

Linnaeus loved nature deeply, and always retained a sense of wonder at the world of living things. His religious beliefs led him to natural theology, a school of thought dating back to Biblical times but especially flourishing around 1700: since God has created the world, it is possible to understand God's wisdom by studying His creation. As he wrote in the preface to a late edition of Systema Naturae: Creationis telluris est gloria Dei ex opere Naturae per Hominem solum -- The Earth's creation is the glory of God, as seen from the works of Nature by Man alone. The study of nature would reveal the Divine Order of God's creation, and it was the naturalist's task to construct a "natural classification" that would reveal this Order in the universe.
