Even Republicans??? Conservatives??? Tea Partiers???
Get out of town.
Hussein is a Christian in name only — at best.
FALSANI:
What do you believe?
OBAMA:
I am a Christian.
So, I have a deep faith. So I draw from the Christian faith.
On the other hand, I was born in Hawaii where obviously there are a lot of Eastern influences.
I lived in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, between the ages of six and 10.
My father was from Kenya, and although he was probably most accurately labeled an agnostic, his father was Muslim.
And I’d say, probably, intellectually I’ve drawn as much from Judaism as any other faith.
So, 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. 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.

He’s a Muslim.
Period.
If the mussies believed him, it would be grounds for a fatwa.
FALSANI:
Who’s Jesus to you?
(He laughs nervously)
OBAMA:
Right.
Jesus is an historical figure for me, and he’s also a bridge between God and man, in the Christian faith, and one that I think is powerful precisely because he serves as that means of us reaching something higher.
And he’s also a wonderful teacher. I think it’s important for all of us, of whatever faith, to have teachers in the flesh and also teachers in history.

FALSANI:
Do you pray often?
OBAMA:
Uh, yeah, I guess I do.
Its’ not formal, me getting on my knees. I think I have an ongoing conversation with God. I think throughout the day, I’m constantly asking myself questions about what I’m doing, why am I doing it.

FALSANI:
Do you have people in your life that you look to for guidance?
OBAMA:
Well, my pastor [Jeremiah Wright] is certainly someone who I have an enormous amount of respect for.
I have a number of friends who are ministers. Reverend Meeks is a close friend and colleague of mine in the state Senate. Father Michael Pfleger is a dear friend, and somebody I interact with closely.

He’s an atheist (secular humanist) with a love for the Islamist system of government.
The author "Pastor Rudy" neglects to discuss the "new" Christianity of Obama's choosing (Jeremiah Wright's church of profane hate).
Talk about poor examples of love for others.
An atheist would never bow to the King of Saudi Arabia.
Because of the misuse of christian, I now call myself a Christ follower. Talk is cheap, but rather look at his actions, they do not match his actions but also his christian talk is twisted.
I’m still going to a Catholic church, but I have to say the “community” is now mostly very cold, unfriendly, unchristian folks...and the rest are leftists. With some overlap.
Who knows what people believe. Are there people in Congress who praise Jesus with every other breath and are really atheists? Of course there are. To tell the truth would mean they wouldn’t have a political career.
He refers repeatedly to The Holy Koran but never refers to his own professed faith’s text as The Holy Bible.
Ping for later
1. Secular humanism. (College/intellectual life)
2. Marxism. (Mentor, influences in childhood and college)
3. Moderate Islam (childhood)
4. Liberation theology (Chicago 'church' he attended)
Nope, Christianity doesn't even appear on the list....
And some of those same Democrats profess to be "Americans" and yet hiss like the devil exposed when someone suggests reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
Typically his bold face lie!!!
How could she ever when he was raise by gram TOOT???
