President Barack Obama is not expected to go to church during Christmas. The president rarely attends worship services, preferring to read scripture and pray in private, according to Politico. Those familiar with his Christian faith say he does not go to church regularly partly because he does not want to disrupt the experiences of regular parishioners and that the Obama family prefers to use Sundays to bond and for downtime.
"The president's faith has deepened in the second term; he's said as much," said Joshua DuBois, who headed the Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships during Obama's first term.

Obummer going to church is like Satan going to church. They both never attend and believe in the same things. See Satan was an angel at one time but fell away from God and when falling away he took a great deal of other angels with him. he promised many things and was unable to deliver. He resorted to deception, cheating, fraud and manipulation to get his way. Sounds familiar does it not.

“Read the Scriptures and pray privately”
Translation: Read the Koran and kneel facing Mecca.

If you call one drop of water on a dry, cracked, scorched earth “deeper” then ok. Otherwise no sale.

Oh yes the great Jim Wallis — modern day Judas.
Saying Obama has deepened in the Christian faith is like saying Kim Jong-Un has grown in his commitment to human rights and democracy.

I agree. Spin and posturing at the very least, but more likely just outright lies.

Why should he go to church?
He can worship himself wherever he is.

His faith has deepened a hundred times. Because a hundred times zero is still zero.
