"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, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people."

Sorry, Obama, but if you don't believe Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life, you are not, by definition, a Christian.

I'm rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.

Whenever you hear someone talk about being "rooted in the Christian tradition," that's a pretty good sign they're a Christian on the outside only. And whenever you hear someone talk about "many paths to the same place," that's a really good sign they're not a believer in Christ at all.

"That there are values that transcend race or culture, that move us forward, and there's an obligation for all of us individually as well as collectively to take responsibility to make those values lived."

Nice words, but do they add up to anything? Nice liberal Pap, Obama. Looks a bit new ageish. Won't help you to take a stand when the going gets tough.

I had the same thought, "many paths" , I don't think so.

I believe that there are many paths to the same place

There's only one way to Heaven.

John 1:1 - You beat me to it.

Satan believes there is a higher power too!

"That there are values that transcend race or culture, that move us forward,

As in, "progressive" values.

I just don't see how anyone who follows Jesus could possibly vote for a Democrat. They are just so anti-Christian.

But that does not mean that the Republican party is Godly by any means. Just less evil.

Ping.

Deeply rooted in Christian faith? An atheist mother and Moslem father?

He's just teeing them up for Keyes!

Spot-on, My2Cents. And people like Obama haven't a clue about how transparent they are to genuine Christians.

How true. Typical liberal spill to appeal to the masses and make the unbeliever fill secure in his unbelief. Sad.

Mr. Obama seems to have a little conceptual problem.

(Somebody send him back to Chritianity 101. Sheesh.)

Nobody can be considered a "man of faith" if he is pro-abortion.

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

I don't care about his parents - I just wish he knew the definition of "Christian" before running around calling himself one.

"I think there is an enormous danger on the part of public figures to rationalize or justify their actions by claiming God's mandate. I don't think it's healthy for public figures to wear religion on their sleeve...

He means that Washington, Adams, Patrick Henry, Witherspoon et al were wrong?

And Obama doesn't believe in Hell? One way or another, he will find out the veracity of that belief.

That pseudo Christian babble from a faux Christian is intended to appeal to the masses of Americas who are also faux Christians; not to those who have genuinely repented and have given their life to the Lord Jesus Christ; which are the minority of those who call themselves Christians.
