Christian voters losing faith in Obama
Politico ^ | September 14, 2010 | Abby Phillip

Posted on 09/14/2010 5:04:44 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

President Barack Obama has long sought to open a dialogue between his administration and evangelical religious leaders, and he has even found common ground on some issues with conservative groups like the Southern Baptist Convention and the National Association of Evangelicals.

But even though Obama may have won over some religious leaders, he’s losing the battle to win over their congregants.

Though several moderate to conservative evangelical pastors support the president, polls show that a significant percentage of conservative Christians remain skeptical about Obama’s sincerity when it comes to the values that he says they share, and many say they doubt his faith.

I’m sorry but I don’t believe that you can truly be a Christian if you would vote for this abortion cheerleader.

There is NO WAY a “Christian” would ever have voted for Obama. They are PHONY “Christians”.

The title should be ( Christian apostates losing faith in Obama ).
A true Christian would not have voted for Obama.

“I’m sorry but I don’t believe that you can truly be a Christian if you would vote for this abortion cheerleader.”

Don’t be sorry in speaking the TRUTH.

Everything about Obama is UNCHRISTIAN.

He’s a warlock. Like Paul Lynde in “Bewitched”. Except Lynde had a sense of humor, a personality, was witty, was smart and was a human being in real life!

With all due respect, what kind of Christian would place their faith in by far the most radically pro-abortion President this nation has ever had?

"Though several moderate to conservative evangelical pastors support the president"

Yet, somehow, the article doesn't identify any "conservative evangelical pastors" who actually support Obama. His support all comes from the emergent, social justice crowd. Serious Christians (ie bitter clingers) have seen through his facade from the beginning.

Sorry, I limit my faith to God.

I never had much use for humanism.

Calling Dr. Bombay! But seriously. I think he may be a Witch. Look at his appontments. Kagan, Napolitano, Sebellius, etc. Line them up. They are real Witches.

Do you think he might be a Witch? You know there are a lot of them around nowadays. Real ones.

Groups like the National Association of Evangelicals, who represents some 30 million members and dozens of Christian denominations across the country, have found room to agree with the president on issues like gay marriage

I don't believe the NAE ever has endorsed gay marriage. I don't know what they are talking about.
