...Historians may remember Obama as the nations first black president, but hes also a religious pioneer. Hes not only changed peoples perception of who can be president, some scholars and pastors say, but hes also expanding the definition of who can be a Christian by challenging the religious rights domination of the national stage.
Obama is a progressive Christian who blends the emotional fire of the African-American church, the ecumenical outlook of contemporary Protestantism, and the activism of the Social Gospel, a late 19th-century movement whose leaders faulted American churches for focusing too much on personal salvation while ignoring the conditions that led to pervasive poverty.
No other president has shared the hybrid faith that Obama displays, says Diana Butler Bass, a historian and author of Christianity after Religion.
The kind of faith that Obama articulates is not the sort of Christianity thats understood by the media or by a large swath of Christians in the U.S., says Bass, a progressive Christian. Hes a different kind of Christian, and the media and the public awareness needs to reawaken to that fact.

Obama is a Muslim who uses the cloak of a Black Racist “church” to cover his personal “jihad”. HE chose “Barack Hussein” as his name. It wasn’t his birth name. Hussein is the “Hidden Imam” and Buraq is the name of Mohammad’s flying horse.,
And then again, to some, he’s no kind of Christian at all.
No he isn't. He's a godless, calculating, self serving, lying jackass. Conservative don't somehow ‘own’ religion, GOD does, and conservatives get with Him. That's why it's called “The Right’. Hence reports of blacks re thinking their support for obozo vis a vis deviant marriage.
Yeah, the phony kind who believes Jesus is just a historical figure, that Jesus is NOT the only way to salvation, that believes in same sex marriage and post-birth infanticide.
Suck it CNN commie bastards who spit on the faithful.
Ted Turner openly mocked Catholics with Ash Wednesday crosses in the newsroom.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23* And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Jesus says "I NEVER knew you"--not that he "used to know", but "never." And the preceding verses remind be precisely of Obama:
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheeps clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16* Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17* Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18* A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19* Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20* Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
During this presidential election Obama's opposition wants to focus on his "fruits", yet he wants to shift the focus from what he's done (or has not done) and focus on what he wants to do (what he says)--more deceptive promises. Jesus says that a CORRUPT TREE cannot bring forth GOOD FRUIT.
What characterizes the progressive "Christian" is what he thinks he knows. He has replaced the gospel with a social gospel, an incomplete gospel. There is only one gospel (Galatians 1). All the others are false and cannot save.
If Obama be a Christian, then I be da Pope.
The jackass is a Muslim through and through, A Muslim on the Down Low.
Christians don’t wait to go to Church until an election comes up. Christians go to Church at Christmas.
Christians do not wear Muslim rings.
Christians do not have Ramadan dinners at the White House while ignoring the Day of Prayer.
Christians are not in love with hearing the Muslim call to prayer.
One thing for sure, he’s not Latvian Orthodox.
He’s only Society’s Child.
Yes, he is the wrong king of Christian. The one who gives no evidence of his faith.
By their fruits, we shall know them.
The secular left despises the "superstitious" Christians. They openly mock the notion of God as Creator. They openly mock "your friend in the clouds!", "your invisible friend Jesus".
But the Democrats have come to realize that they will ALWAYS LOSE if they can't win over any religious voters. So they grit their teeth and try to win them over to the argument of "socialist justice". The Democrats started talking about the God Gap after the 2004 loss.
They don't even have to get the majority of religious minded voters to vote Rat, if they can do as they did in 2006 and convince some religious conservatives NOT TO VOTE because of the homosexuals in the GOP ranks ("oooh, culture of corruption!").,
Mohammed and Obama are antiChrist figures. They both acknowledge Jesus Christ yet they try to lead the flock astray with denials of His divinity.
You better believe I understand his Christian faith. He belongs to the “Undercover Muslim” church.
When he starts going to church with his family, instead of playing Sunday basketball games with his body-man Reggie Love, then I’ll believe it.
I ain’t down with Jeremiah Wright’s church of Goddamn AmeriKKKa.
Barack Obama is a vile human being. Even Oprah left the hate filled Wright’s church because she couldn’t take it anymore.
They can write and spin all they like, but in the end, obama like everyone else will be known by his acts.
you credit him with too much. he’s just an average doufous with a team of handlers who keep him on target ~ otherwise he’d be an EEO affirmative action sales rep for Georgia Pacific selling paper for office printers.
But then I learned that islamo...phobia was the greatest threat to world peace.
Then I knew for a fact I'd heard everything.
But I was wrong.
Hes a different kind of Christian, and the media and the public awareness needs to reawaken to that fact.
... and Hitler was just a different kind of Jew.
Ok, now, this time, for the last time, I really really have heard everything.
... reawaken to that fact
Where does the 're' in 'reawaken' come from, were we once awake to that fact and are no longer? Perhaps we were once awake at the time he visited Wright's church for 20 years, but then fell asleep to that fact when Wright mysteriously disappeared from the face of Obama's Earth, after Obama told him, in an apparent reawakening of Christian awareness "Your problem is that you have to be honest."
public awareness needs to reawaken
I also was previously unaware that 'awareness can reawaken' ... awareness is by definition a state of being awake and alert, I had thought. My cat is now not sleeping. Can I re-awaken her? Or even awaken her? I'm learning so much.
Is my mind just becoming clearer, or is the intelligence on the Earth becoming duller? I must re-awaken my and the media's awareness of this fact, for I seek to be an entirely new sort of Christian, unbound by the petty constraints of Christianity, and in transcending Christianity's suggestions, become it's embodiment. Don't need to eat some cracker (dog whistle) to ingest the Body of Christ ... just ignore the tenets entirely, and you're good to go.
How far things drift in 4 years ...
Black Liberation Theology is based in Marxism.
Of course we "understand" it you supercilious twit. We've been doing this for two thousand years now.
We even have a name for his kind of faith: apostasy!
