Does that make me a catholic?
Same here, my family was extremely lutheran and catholic up until me and my parents.

I turn and run as fast as possible at the sight of organized religion. I'm CERTAINLY not catholic just because my parents might have been.

We as a nation was formed under the Judeo-Christian ethics but now as Obama stated we are no longer a Christian nation.


Many here believe that supporting Israel is no longer important including our president as he chastised the Jewish nation and upheld the Palestinians even though they do not want peace but to kill every Jew in Israel.

You do not have Judeo-Christian ethics. Do not mix us Jews into your branch of Christianity's particular brand of crazy.

Why on earth should he? Do you think he's the least bit concerned with making a case with the ignoramuses asking for this kind of information?

Wait a minute that doesn't make a lick of sense.

Can't anger lead to fear and fear lead to suffering and than suffering lead to hate? You see when you have three totally interchangeable emotional states, they can't really be arranged in a certain pattern of logic.

Seriously? He was named after his father that he saw once in his life at the age of 10. By the way, I couldn't care less if he was a Muslim, but he says he's Christian and belonged to a Christiam church for years, so he is as Christian as anyone else who claims to be.

I didn't get the memo stating that people couldn't belong to a religion if their names weren't approved first. I guess people named Mary, Peter, Paul or John can't be buddhists or Muslims and people named Hakeem, Yusef or Rasheeda (I know plenty of people with Arabic names who are Christian) can't be Christian. Do you know what a Chaldean is? Try Google, there are plenty of Christians with Arabic names. How ignorant!

Additionally, he was raised in the Islamic faith in Indonesia where he attended a madrassa. In matters of religion he certainly seems to give Islam special consideration over the other religions of the world. Now who knows what, if any religion he currently practices. We know he sat in Reverend Wrong's hate American church for 20 some odd years. But the fact is he is a Muslim by birth and was raised a Muslim, so to stand there and claim with conviction that he's not a Muslim and to write off those who believe he is as uneducated hicks is not only bigoted and hateful but also incredibly ignorant.
I have some friends whose last name is Adolf. What does that make them?

WHAT?

Oh..surely, you remember this:


Obama: "My Muslim Faith" - YouTube

Nice try to walk it back.

And didn't he say the call to prayer was one of the most beautiful sounds on earth, or something like that?
Can you name a religion where it's okay to denounce that religion to pretend you're a different religion? That pretty much flies in the face of the logic behind religion...
