BTW, I was reflecting further on this last comment of mine from my last post: And if it's the latter, I expect you from now on to start challenging all these FR claims that Barry's a Muslim. Because these two worldviews cannot co-exist. They are contradictory.

And I then thought to myself, "Well, I don't really expect any of these four to start challenging other FREEPERs who believe Barry is a Muslim."

Why is that?

Because I don't think you really think that strong enough that Barry thinks he's a real god on the level of THE god.

If I had to guess the "depth or surface" level of your statements that Obama thinks he's already a god, I think it amounted to a spur-of-the-moment "cutesy" thing to say so that you -- or other Romney voters -- don't have to really deal with the reality that Romney and other temple Mormons really embrace godhood for themselves.

IOW, you each exercised some temporary deflection -- and basically wound up engaging in apologetics on behalf of Mormonism.

Apologists for Mormonism. Imagine that. (I'll betcha you each never thought you'd be doing that, did you?)

Now maybe for one of your four -- you really do think Obama considers himself a "god"...

Do me a favor and stop posting to me. I made a simple joke and have no desire to be drawn into religious debates on FR. I’ve seen enough of your posting history to know that you are quite involved in exposing Mormonism as a cult, and frankly, I have no argument with you.

But I refuse to be drawn into it.

The one and only thing I’ll comment on is a critique of logic — your question poses a false dichotomy in that it is perfectly possible for Obama to be a Muslim by the rules of Muslim birthright inheritance without being a practicing Muslim, and therefore quite capable of having a god complex without violating a separate religious faith.

Whether I believe any of that is irrelevant, it’s just a commentary on a logical fallacy.
