Barack Obama wants to set the record straight. He is not a Muslim, as recent e-mails falsely claim.
The Democratic presidential candidate is fighting the e-mails that have been widely circulated. Obama has been continually speaking about the role of faith in politics since his Call to Renewal address in June 2006.
In the days before the South Carolina primary, he is driving efforts to speaking with media to emphasize his Christian beliefs. His campaign also sent out a recent mailer portraying the candidate with his head bowed in prayer and says that he will be guided by prayer when he is in office.
The senator from Illinois spoke with Sarah Pulliam and Ted Olsen today about his faith, abortion, and the evangelical vote.

Just saw that horrid lie about “no one” being for abortion. Sure, there are more than a million a year in the States, but don’t worry: no one is for it!
Be VERY careful of ridiculing another’s profession of faith in Christ - whether YOU believe it or not.
Obama’s Nation Of Islam ties are very relevant, and should be delved into. that's not "borderline racism". NOI is racist. -and as it turns out, Obama has had several NOI members on his staff.

I have a friend - a GOOD friend - born in Egypt as an islamite, converted to Christianity in college, and is now a MD in my community.
The saving power of Christ is awesome, indeed.
To a liberal, the government is the savior.
One example, voting to kill God's little ones. Is that a Christian in your world?
Another “”As your President, I will use the bully pulpit to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws,”
Now this is Ok. for one who says I am not a Christian, they do not adhere to God's word anyways. But being a politician is no excuse in trying to take the place of God.
Again, do you call this type of behavior being in Christ?
just adds another perp to the list alongside the vrwc when clintoon inc arkansides ole b hussein...
Thunderous chant in response: yes, we can!
I'm a white Christian.
Obama apparently grew up half white and half black in world that was neither Christian nor Islamic but a part of both. It must have been a confusing experience.
I read the entire article you linked to in the beginning of your response. Based on the entirety of that article, it appears he is a Christian, albeit like so many modern day Christians, one with an imperfect vision of Christianity, while at the same time, one drawing interesting parallels between the Israelites and his own people in the past several centuries.
It is critical that Obama or Hillary be defeated in their quest for the White House. It would lose all the gains made by America in the Middle East, while throwing away the sacrifices of so many American men and women of all races and faiths. Most unfortunately, that means McCain must win.
Either way America loses, but it probably loses less with a McCain victory.
The main difference between Obama and Hillary is the Clintons are a crime syndicate - a modern day version of a Roman Triumvirate.
But thanks for those responses and the link. IT demonstrates that the veneer of racial tranquility in America is still all too thin. Perhaps in a few years, after those who lived during a period of segregation are all gone, it will improve.
Obama also confesses that it is OK to destroy a child in the womb, God's gift. Obama also confesses that is is OK not to treat a baby that has experienced a botched abortion.
Obama confesses many things that are unGodly.
Exactly...and he keeps stepping in it which is good for all of us.
Please don't ask this question because you will be likened to Hitler or some other Fascist because you are asking for "Papers" or proof.
One can not respect, understand or accept a law so obviously against God’s will and call themselves a Christian.
Obama is a liar.
—Jesus or not, he’s definately a prime target for muzzies who say that’s a no-no and now off with your head with a dull rusty machete.—
Any POTUS would be a target for Muslim fundamentalists. Dubya is not a Muslim (”as far as I know” LOL) and I’m sure he gets threats from followers of the “Religion of Peace” all the time. That’s what secret service protection is there for.
We all have.
But when a man confesses Jesus Christ, I am not gonna condemn him for that,
nor presume to know his heart.
Pray the Lord convicts him to change his heart/views.
Amen.
We are all sinners, correct. But we are not all politicians that claim we follow Christ but don't act that way.
His profession of Christ as savior is true but even the devil knows this.
Only God knows this man's heart, that is true, but remember:
Matthew 7:21 - "21 Not every one that saith to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven: but he that doth the will of my Father who is in heaven, he shall enter into the kingdom of heaven. "
Which Senate resolution was that and did he actually cast a vote and was it an affirmative?
"As your President, I will use the bully pulpit to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws,"
Is that an actual quote?
It would do us all well to remember, whoever - including Obama - becomes the next President, he/she would require the same fervency of prayer from us for Divine Guidance as does/did President Bush.
