except if one wears his religion on his arm I would tend to be very suspicious.

I know it is a joke, Pete, but the joke missed the point entirely. My point, which was apparently adopted by others, is that the candidate's religion is irrelevant to his qualifications for office. I was happy with Obama having a progressive agenda, but I am not happy with his caving to the right wing. I don't care if he worships the High Priestess of the Roundball if he returns to being an effective advocate for progressive aims.
Regards,

D-Ray

His religious beliefs should be irrelevant. I don't understand why he even plays the, "Look, I really am a Christian", game. It only perpetuates the problem. He should just tell the people the truth (Whatever that might be.), then remind them that he has a constitutional right to hold whatever religious beliefs he has, that he can even change his beliefs as often as he likes, as all of us can.

This notion that only Christians should hold the Presidency is a load of absolute bull**it, devised to pander to a specific base that's too brainwashed to know any better. It has no Constitutional basis.

I look forward to the day we finally crush this bull**it, and elect a non-Christian into the Whitehouse.
It will be a bright and glorious day for the cause of freedom.

He's black, he's white, he's Muslim, he's Christian. Where's Jesse Jackson? Obama is the whole Rainbow Coalition!

Some certainly seem to think on Christians are qualified to lead...

"If God be with us, then who dare be against us?"

The answer to that question is Satan, guys.

Us and them, Good vs. Evil, this is the mindset in the absolutists world.

People like this are bad news, and must be stopped.

Satan might be on the side of those who falsely claim that God is on their side. False prophets aren't very popular behind the Pearly Gates.

I happen to think so. Think, but don't know for certain. Only God can truly know what lies in the hearts of men.

However, you are right. We were warned of "False Prophets" in the Bible, weren't we? "Wolves in Sheeps clothing" as the old saying goes.

Maybe it's the ones who constantly waive around their Christian credentials that we need to be wary of?
Whaddaya think, counsellor?
