There are lots of people who are religious but not spiritual.

Similarly there are people who are spiritual but not religious.

There are lots of people who are religious and spiritual.

Get it? got it? Good.

Can an atheist be spiritual or religious then?

An American hating communist?

Why not go for the NeoConfused Trifecta and add Muslim?

No actually, you have done nothing of the sort. You simply asked a question to go on the attack of the president. Does it matter if he said she was an atheist & then said she was spiritual? Do you actually know what it means to be spiritual? Seeing the responses you've gotten, I think most people think your question & subsequent responses are fluff. As I said, it's nothing more than an attempt to insult & whine about the president. It's very weird to say the least.

I have read that she herself on many occasions said she was but does anyone here have any proof that she was in fact an atheist?

So if he got caught lying again red handed that is ok with you?

Is that what you are saying?

Now you can read other posters minds?

No fluff, answer the question.

Look up his videos and explain to me why Obama told us she was an atheist and now tells us she is the most spiritual person he ever knew?

Did he lie or not? Prove to us he did not lie then.

He is not suppose to lie to us, it is matter of trust. If the man is lying again and getting caught so many times like he has then you should be the one worried.

Uh, I don't know why he said what he said. And I also can't say he's lying either because someone can be an atheist yet still be spiritual. You may not understand that (most people who are really religious don't get it) but thems the facts. I'm sorry sunny-days but I just don't see why you're getting so upset about it. It's very weird to care so much about something like this & to link this to "what other lies may he have said???????????????????" is just....out there.

Default Wtf?

What does this have to do with the 'price of beans' anywhere?

The fact that this thread is getting more responses than 'Obama rallies and scolds Dems in campaign trip' (which is mine... but take your pick) is sad.

Maybe my 'letter to the President' is too scary and controversial. Should be no more so than asking if his Mother was an atheist.

Whatever.

It does matter, if in fact Obama was caught lying again about something as simple as this then what else is he lying to us about.

He has told two different versions of this story and this week he all of a sudden goes to church and is asked a question about his faith. Then proceeds to talk about his mom being so spiritual. Just 2 years ago he said she was an atheist.

Either way he lied again.

Libs are again trying to make this a non matter but if we catch him lying red handed then we surely cannot trust anything he says now can we?
Oh I see, just like you overlooked my response to you too. That's so charming.

...not.

I've heard she was female, but am not quite sure. I think Obama should also produce not just his, but her birth certificate as well, to prove that, in fact, she was a woman. Who was born. And not an ALien from the Planet Xenon who came here to drop off her alien SPAWN MOOSELIMB love child to destroy the world and bring on the end of days.

That's all I want.

Oh, and a family tree and complete geneology of Obama and all his relatives. Just in case there's a branch tree of demon spawn that need to be eradicated by my holy spear of justice. GET BACK SATAN!! I WILL SMITE THEE>
