Not placing his hand over his heart for the pledge of allegience when it suits him, and then placing it when suits him. He's a phony. He's got the atheist vote now in his back pocket. There's no need to appeal to them. In order for him to get re-elcted he has to get better numbers with those that believe in Christianity. Those are great words, but they in no way sound like Barrak Obama. And isn't it amazing that they found their way into the catholic blogosphere. Not a coincidence at all.Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881054.post-52841323890507352582011-04-21T07:54:25.208-05:002011-04-21T07:54:25.208-05:00I know all sorts of people personally who apply Ch...I know all sorts of people personally who apply Christianity to their lives in ways I would not, including being pro-abortion. I cannot presume to judge the president's soul and will leave that to God. <br /><br />However, let's look at it like this. If he is an atheist, he is giving the most sincere lip service to Jesus' salvation and the cross that one could give. What would atheists think of this? Not that he is one of them. To me, who is going to stand by my decision to take his words at face value, this says a lot. I would want to be taken at face value. I am going to do him the same courtesy. I choose not to be cynical.Julie D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08384291674560438678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6881054.post-80456894152497977522011-04-20T22:33:04.793-05:002011-04-20T22:33:04.793-05:00Ever since that poll that said a ton of people tho...Ever since that poll that said a ton of people thought he was a muslim, I bet he's been studying Christianity. Those quotes are extremely specific and detailed. Before this he never uttered a word that suggested he even understood Christianity. It sounds to me he was coached to say them.<br /><br />He being the most pro-abortion president, the president that insisted the crucifix be taken down when he spoke at Notre Dame University, I put no stock in his sudden turn to Christianity. I do not believe he is a muslim, but given he is an Ivy League Liberal, there is no doubt in my mind he is an atheist.Mannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15396201693030286919noreply@blogger.com
