How would you feel about a non Christian/Catholic president of America? (racist, Obama)

[mackinac81]

There are probably just as many non-christian catholics as there are non-christian protestants, if you ask me.

I'm one of the few christians (quite conservative, I may add) who is indifferent toward religion. While my gut would feel weird voting for an atheist, my rational sense says that I'm looking for an able administrator, not a pastor.

If it came down to a muslim and a christian, and I thought the muslim would do a better job, I'd pick the muslim. The presidency is not a bishopric, nor should it be.

Sheeesh. Don't let that get out, the Christians think they are the only ones going to heaven!

Just look around the world - their religion is so radicalized, violent and terribly repressive - everywhere it takes root this is the case.

And it IS the government in most Muslim countries - there is no separation of mosque and state - the Mosque IS the state in Islam...

I don't think we need to worry - because the American people would never allow it...

I think you need to understand that the majority of muslims are not radical violent repressors.

He has been going to CHURCH for 20 years.

Does it count that we've had a Catholic President (John Kennedy), and two Quakers (Herbert Hoover and Richard Nixon)? What we have yet to do is elect a President who is Jewish, an adherent of Islam, Hindu, LDS, Buddhist, etc. ...

If he wasn't Christian, what was all the hoopla over his CHRISTIAN PASTOR, REVEREND WRIGHT? Make up your minds with the slander...I feel sorry for people who are stupid enough to actually think this way.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Why would you be a Catholic if you're not a Christian? Or how?

I'm not asking for you to be a smart alec, so can you remove the attitude for just a moment?

Part of my point is that I repeatedly hear about how going to church doesn't make somebody a Christian.

So Obama has been going to CHURCH for 20 years, and that DOES make him a Christian?


See where I'm coming from?
