"I am a Christian.… So, I have a deep faith. I'm rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place

There is no way that the author of this sentence is a Christian. Jesus clearly stated that there is only one way to heaven.

I think Mr. Obama is on shaky ground eternally speaking. If he doesn't believe anyone is going to Hell, he is essentially denying the existence of Hell. He is also denying the founding document he purports to be so dedicated to. Our Declaration quite simply refers to God as the Creator, Providence and the Supreme Judge of the World. My definition of a judge is someone who can rule for or against you. Of course to Democrats and other mindless sheeple, the only important thing is Mr. Obama has offered a defense of his faith. In the game of politics, it doesn't have to be a valid defense.

Personally, I recommend that Mr. Obama study the theology of Blood, Sweat and Tears. If you want to deny half of Eternity, there position makes more sense than Obama's. The line goes" I know there ain't no Heaven, and I pray there ain't no Hell."

Thanoz,

Here's your saviour, LOL.

Sounds like he's some weird kind of "gangsta Christian" or something. The clown talks about "separation of Church and State" as if it is mentioned somewhere in the Constitution. (He ought to read the US Constitution sometime, unless that is too much to ask of an affirmative-action "professor".)

No doubt, like many lazy go-alongs before him, he thinks that the part about "Congress shall make no law" means that kids who wear crosses around their necks should be thrown out of school, and monuments with the Ten Commandments inscribed on them must never be seen on public property.

The guy's a scumbag.

"I am a great admirer of our founding charter and its resolve to prevent theocracies from forming and its resolve to prevent disruptive strains of fundamentalism from taking root in this country.

Disruptive strains of fundamentalism = white fundamentalism. It's okay for the COGIC and CME churches to be deep bottom holy rollers.

If these hypocritical wumpus cats really believed in the "separation of church and state" they'd campaign to decriminalize murder. I mean, that's a sectarian religious taboo, right? Got its start in the Seven Noachide Laws and the Ten Commandments. What use are liberals who uprooting public displays of the Ten Commandments when they don't oppose laws that force them on the rest of us (eg murder, theft)?

Just wait till the murderers' rights movement gets started. I suppose they'll call themselves "carefree" or some other such name though.

" Since his mother was a secular humanist (and between the lines, sounds like an atheist) "


boo! hiss! How sad for Illinois, their only choices are/were Obama or the fetish sex club kitty Jack Ryan. Dismal day in the history of Illinois, dismal days. (sob)

Anyone who runs ahead and does not continue in the teaching of Christ does not have God; whoever continues in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not take him into your house or welcome him. Anyone who welcomes him shares in his wicked work.

Thus, U.S. Senate candidate Barack Obama in a campaign contribution by Chicago Sun-Times columnist Cathleen Falsani. Obama's supporters include not only constituents giving him monetary contributions, but alleged journalists who see their job as doing everything in their power to get him elected.

I was going to say that it sounds like his view of Christianity is that of the mainstream at Garrett Evangelical Seminary up at Northwestern University in Evanston: liberal to the point of denying the exclusivity of the claims of Jesus.* And, behold, Cathleen Falsani is a graduate of Garrett.

*I am intimately familiar with the goings-on at this school. You should have seen the "art work" that recently graced the halls of Garrett that was a celebration of something or other, combining religious symbolism from around the world with stylized female pudenda, complete with pubic hair and labia. I'll see if I can find the copies I have of it and post it.

"I am a great admirer of our founding charter and its resolve to prevent theocracies from forming and its resolve to prevent disruptive strains of fundamentalism from taking root in this country."

This is a good encapsulation of the left's idea of the First Amendment. They believe it is a tool not only to prevent theocracy but to prevent "strains" of religion which they disapprove of from "taking root" in America.

They are waging a Holy War against fundamentalist Christians and distorting and subverting the Constitution to do it.
