Obama's Religion: Christianity 101 For The Willfully Ignorant
Thursday, August 26, 2010
I am an old liberal Democrat who, if polled as to what I believe Obama is, would say that I don't know what Obama is. I suspect he's an atheist (as am I), but what I know is that he's an opportunist who does just what he needs to do and no more to advance his own personal objectives and fortunes.
Obama brought this controversy on himself. It never would have gotten any traction had he been doing what he had been doing in the years leading up to his run for the presidency, belonging to a Christian church and attending it somewhat regularly. Once it had served its purpose (getting him into the White House), he had no further need for it.
That's a readily visible pattern with Obama. The closer he got to the nomination and then the White House itself, the more liberal rhetoric he dropped. And once in the Oval Office, he's totally shut that door to liberals and progressives, courting instead the right-of-center Independents and Republicans.
If anyone seriously believes that Obama is an observant Christian and believes the White House's argument that the proof is that he gets texted with Biblical passages daily, it begs the question, "What about his family? His wife and children?" What couple proclaiming to be Christian raising young children don't attend church regularly and have those children involved in church activities?
