Yahoo! News ^ | 7/28/12 | Amy Bingham

Three and a half years into President Obama's first term as president, half of Americans cannot accurately say what religion he is, according to a poll released this week.

Only 49 percent of respondents said that Obama was Christian while 17 percent inaccurately said he was Muslim. Nearly one-third of respondents said they did not know the president's religion, according to the poll released Thursday by the Pew Research Center's Forum on Religion & Public Life.

I think Zer0 is a cultural Muslim who sees his god every time he looks in a mirror.

Can anyone think of another single instance where the MSM spent so much time and money explicitly trying to correct an ‘erroneous’ popular impression?

Kinda reminds me of the flood of ‘it’s OK to lie’ stories when Clinton was Prez.

If the skidmark was a Christian, the state run media wouldn’t keep asking. Don’t bother him while he’s busy defending Nidal Hasan (Ft. Hood shooter).

“Half of the people do not know the President’s religion” ... for good reason. The other half believe whatever they are told.

If brocko were being prosecuted for being a Christian, the case would be thrown out for lack of evidence.

If evidence of Christian faith were dynamite, brocko couldn’t blow his nose.

Amen Brother you got that right.

He adores himself.

Leans toward the Islamic faith, even said so, put it in writing ,and the media doesn’t believe it.

We know what Christians act like, and Obama does not in any way match that image. It’s no wonder less than half know the “truth” even after four years of media repetition.

Dear Media: the message you’re not seeing here is that the half of us who “don’t know the president’s religion” are simply not playing your little pin-the-religion-on-the-kenyan game.

When he’s not worshiping himself, zero’s religion is whatever is going to bump him up in the polls or get him the most votes.

He attended a church devoted to Black Liberation Theology for twenty years. BLT is compatible with both Islam and, more particularly, Marxism. That works for me. I just don’t know if it classifies as Christian.

His father was a muzzie, that makes our boy Barry a muzzie at birth. Islamic law. Now, one might say he is guilty of apostasy by stating he is a Christian, which would be a death sentence in some Islamic circles. No lookie goodie anyways ya look at it.

I’m not going to pretend to know what his faith is.

But I do know for a fact it isn’t Christianity.

You judge a Christian by the fruit they bear .
If a person isn’t bearing the fruits of the Holy Spirit it means that THEY ARE NOT A CHRISTIAN .

Christians do no support Sharia law , period .

Obama appoints Sharia finance specialist as White House fellow
http://www.jihadwatch.org/2010/06/obama-appoints-sharia-finance-specialist-as-white-house-fellow.html

You know how you can tell a real moderate muslim from one who claims to be a moderate muslim ?
You find out how they feel about Sharia law

THis guy isn’t even a moderate muslim since he is working hard to hire people who want to implement it in our country.

Obama is a MUSLIM as his father was

If Obama were are real Christian the news reporters would be doing to him exactly what they did to Sarah Palin .

He was born a moslem, acts like a moslem, loves moslems.

Gee whiz, it’s not like he referred to “My Muslim faith” in an interview.

Oh wait, he did.

We know what Christians act like,...

I wouldn't get very far trying to impersonate a Russian Ballerina and joining the Bolshoi troupe, yet the media tries to prop the kenyan up as a Christian and we're supposed to buy it.

I get the same nauseous feeling when many movies and TV shows try to portray Christians. They fail of course, and I find it sad that there isn't a single Christian in their production who can set them straight.

Meanwhile, I wish the kenyan knew that he was supposed to try to act like an American...
