What is Obama's Faith?

Was jesus a christian?

no way man. He was born in the Roman empire and was therefore a pagan.

Eighty-seven percent of Indonesia is Muslim. Furthermore, there's been enough research done into Obama's past to confirm that he was a Muslim. The fact that he lies about it shows that he will do what it takes to have power. The conspiracy theory is not was he a Muslim. The conspiracy theory is that he wasn't a Muslim and that he actually is telling the truth.

He rarely attended friday prayers with his step father when he was 7. If that makes you a member of a religion, then I'm a catholic/presbeterian/born again christian/Muslim

I didn't say he was a devout Muslim; just that he was a Muslim.

I've been to catholic mass 5 times, because a grandparent wanted me to come allong. Am I former catholic?

I've been to Friday prayers a couple times just to see what it was like. Am I a former Muslim?

Are you really saying attending Friday prayers a few times is enough to make you a Muslim?

His mother has stated she wanted her son to receive a broad education including on religious matters. His attendance to Friday prayers could have been part of that.

His religion is the least important thing about his ability to run your country... If he is in fact Muslim, which I highly doubt, then it really shouldn't make a difference...

Agreed,'shouldn't',being the operative word.But this is Uhmerica,and we all know it makes an enormous difference.Personally I think he might secretly be an atheist,who knows that in his country this effectively disbars even the most brilliant from holding the position he has now,WHICH WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT IS VERY SAD..

I'm saying that he was a Muslim in his adolescence. He has made no account for it nor has the media pressed him. Instead he claims to be Christian b/c it is politically helpful while he doesn't ever go to church. I'd have to categorize how I suspect his Muslim background affects him as speculative. But I can say that he uses religion as a prop and I don't trust anyone that does such things.

He was baptised and active at this church for nearly two decades. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_Un ... _of_Christ

I'm aware that he went to his hate whitey church for 20 years. If he was going to find a racist substitute for Islam, he succeeded. But yea, I was making an inference to his so-called Christian church when I said that he uses religion as a prop.

[Phatscotty]

I wanted to vote Jewish. He is obviously part of the Jewish conspiracy to control the world.

Pretty sure his mother was Jewish. Anyways, another poll with the Jewish option garnered 1%.

Here is results from that one. I apologize that it is a doofus who is announcing them

"omg omg, how can 1% of people think he's Jewish?" btw, yes the poll actually has 3 different "I dont know" options!

Ah so its only truly Christian if its your kind of Christian hmm? Also he attended this church for twenty years just so he could one day use it in his political career. A planner your president!

Pray tell, what is your evidence of his supposedly Islamic adolescence?

VOL was Jesus a christian?

Are you trying to imply that Obama is the Messiah of an as-yet-unnamed religion?

[BigBallinStalin]

I thought Obama was a Jedi...

I am showing the hypocrisy of these supposedly righteous christians in the fact that they oppose a man who has relatives that are muslims, yet they revere a man that they insist is a christian yet was born a jew.

1. That's your own false recap that somebody is opposing him on the basis of Muslim relatives.
2. Christianity is a belief. Being a Jew is a race/nationality. (It is a religion too, but Christianity derives from Judaism or Judaism did not adhere to Christianity, however one chooses to see it).

[notyou2]

Then your issue with Obama having muslim relatives is moot. You just defeated your own argument.

Give me the quote in which I said I have an issue with Obama having Muslim relatives. That's your own twisted interpretation.

Really? Well I'll be damned! And all this time, I thought he was a Jackass, just like every other scuzzy politician in the world!

NO!

[Phatscotty]

Romney called Obama an Atheist? This is just ridiculous! These Republicans....the question about Obama's faith has been crystal clear for a long time now!

If one is born a Muslim, one's father is a Muslim, and then one's step-father is a Muslim, and one is raised and lives in a Muslim country and goes to a Muslim school and keeps one's Muslim name, the only excuse for people who might suspect he is a Muslim is because they are Islamophobic and racist.

How is the religion of a baby who's parents have different religions determined? Do they come out with a birthmark shaped into a symbol of their religion? Does a team of experts analyse their howls(babies who are silent at birth are obvi atheists)?

The problem with this argument is manifold.

(1) No one should really care about the president's religion generally. However, I can understand how some people feel more comfortable having a leader who is religious, so that's not really concerning to me.

(2) No one should really care about whether the president is Muslim or not (or any other religion or not). This smacks of the 1960s when people were a-scared of JFK and the Catholic Church running his presidency. Ironically (or maybe not), the same people who were scared of JFK and Catholicism tend to be like the people who are scared of Obama and his religion, which, by the way, is not Islam.

(3) The president has said on numerous occasions that he is Christian. The president used to attend and still attends Christian services. In fact, the Republicans made a big stink about his attendance at Christian services where the pastor talked about racial issues. So I'm not sure why this is still a relevant issue since the same people who are accusing him of being a Muslim are the same people accusing him of being a racist because he attended Christian services in the past. It's weird.

(4) This is the most important one for me. There are a whole host of other items upon which the president can be critiqued other than some made up discussion about his religion. Can we please, please, please concentrate on those instead of what religion the president is (or, for that matter, where his birth certificate is)?
