I wonder how that makes the non believers on the left feel.
Non-believers in what, God? Surely you dont believe non-believers in God are only on the left.

I'm not an Obama fan to say the least. But this speech could have been worse. I thought he would spend more time making excuses for the killer and saying that this could have nothing to do with Islam. Instead he seems to be admitting this had terrorist elements to it and that no religion justifies it. I like that he basically said the killer will go to Hell for this.

Maybe you've been misunderstanding him the whole time.

"'We are a nation that guarantees the freedom to worship as one chooses. And instead of claiming God for our side, we remember Lincoln's words, and always pray to be on the side of God,' Obama said. 'We are a nation of laws whose commitment to justice is so enduring that we would treat a gunman and give him due process, just as surely as we will see that he pays for his crimes.'"

"And he paid homage to the victims, mentioning them by name and giving a brief biographical sketch of each."

Obama pays tribute to victims at Fort Hood memorial service - The Dallas Morning News


I liked his speech today as I watched, and I was glad he said what he did about this killer, it was, I hope a step in the right direction
how anyone could have watched this gut wrenching service and not be moved has a wooden heart
