Thanks for making my point, a lot of politicians do this, Republican and Democrat, wouldn't you agree?

See above.



You flatter yourself with the effect it would have on your grandparents.
Do you know the OP's grandparents??

OK. Fine. But he played the game well enough to become POTUS, didn't he?

And as long as i'm happy with his presidency, he can continue the game.

It'll be a great day when we get an atheist president. A wonderful day indeed.

I saw a similar thread on another forum and scanned the article.

Hardly worth another discussion--sigh--I'm sure someone has already mentioned Thomas Jefferson and the Founders' views on religion--by some standards all were 'secular humanists'.

Who among us doesn't reside in the proverbial glass house and therefore who is in a position to judge another's religion/Faith.

It seems 'community churches' are in vogue--'non-denominational'/etc. Yet--Christianity is what it is--there is no getting around it. It frequently boggles my mind.

Whatever the POTUS may believe I know my mission is to live according to my beliefs.

Don't hold your breath on that one. Wouldn't want you to become hypoxic.

I think we've probably already had a few.

Many leaders have used the "ends justify the means" excuse. But thanks for admitting it!

Faking religion is one thing. Being pro-Afghan war and pro-Stasi Act is another. Wonder how Maher will apologize for Obama here?

Yeah, and were any of them openly athiests?

So, Bill Maher thinks Obama is a coward? Sounds like he's ok with it. Alinsky would be proud.
