He really needs to change his first name. Oiiieeeee
Hey, Mr. Obama: if you are concerned about religious extremism, maybe you should consider Hezbollah. Their title means "Army of God." And that ain't exactly the Salvation Army they're describing.
Unless you describe salvation as mingling the remnants of one's own charred, dismembered corpse among the body parts of unsuspecting victims.
Which is by definition what Hezbollah believes in.
Cheers!
"Obama: America needs to hear more-moderate, more-inclusive religious voices.'
Like Joe Lieberman?
He openly invites a continuation of the disintegration of the moral and social fabric of the nation when he 'preaches' said beliefs, imo.
Oh, yeah,He's ready for Prime Time and a spot on the Dem ticket.
Obama needs to get his eyes off those "moderates" and on Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords, Who said "I AM the Way, the Truth and the Life, NO-ONE cometh unto the Father except by Me."
(Go Israel, Go! Slap 'Em Down Hezbullies.)
Sounds like a church fit for a politician.

The UCC has roots in the "covenantal" tradition—meaning there is no centralized authority or hierarchy that can impose any doctrine or form of worship on its members. Christ alone is Head of the church. We seek a balance between freedom of conscience and accountability to the apostolic faith. The UCC therefore receives the historic creeds and confessions of our ancestors as testimonies, but not tests of the faith.
This guy has come from nowhere, with no known history, and suddenly his front and center of the MSM stage. He seems slicker than Slick (Willy).
Maybe I'm paranoid, but I do not trust this guy. AT ALL.
why should I believe a sorry word from his mouth??
My "religion" is all-inclusive once you profess that Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior.
If you don't take that step, your name's not in the Book of Life. Sorry, but it's a "self-selecting" religion, not an inclusive one.
In other words, I CAN'T include you because you can only "include" yourself. I can't do it for you.
Obama is dangerous because he (like Clinton) appears moderate but is a hard leftist.
If he talks about Christianity enough, people will forget he was a Muslim.
Um, is this really the job of Government?
So I asked them if they are moderate. They said, "We don't know."
You say Obama, I say Osama,
Obama, Osama, Osama, Obama,
Let's call the whole thing off.
Obama better watch out or the KOS people will target him for elimination.
