No I don’t believe he is lying. I was responding to your point of let’s grow up. And yes, it’s okay for him to be Muslim too.
Because his actions are so opposite from Christian teaching that he needs to remind us that he’s a Christian. One is as one does. I have no claim to know what he believes but his actions tell me he does not exactly have the heart of Christ beating in his chest.
The only problem I have is why does Obama refer to his Christian beliefs on so many issues?
The Mexico City Policy would still be in effect(or dont non-US children count)?. Catholic employers like myself would not be forced to cover abortificants and contraception for their employees(or drop their coverage0, conscience clauses would still medical professionals to refuse to participate in abortions would still be in effect, Planned Parenthood funding would be significally reduced(republican attempts to do so were blocked by Democrats and an Obama veto threat). Most importantly we would not be led by a man who believes killing children is a right. Supporting abortion does not happen in a vacuum-it permeates everything one does. A person who supports unrestricted abortion on demand is morally unfit to hold any position of leadership.
I was involved with a Care Net center.
And who would make that determination? You?
My view is that if candidates wish to bring up their religious faith and their morals based on that faith, I think they should do so. If they don’t wish to bring it up, that’s also fine with me. But in neither case should candidates be penalized for the profession of their faith or the preference to keep their faith a private matter. There should be no litmus test for the presidency based solely on specific religious belief or lack of religious belief.
No, Robert, not Zoroastrian! I mean, we must draw the line somewhere. After all, I wouldn’t want the conductor, Zubin Mehta, to be President.
A president with the right values and policies could be Zoroastrian, and I would support him.
I think we all make judgements about people.
I do plan on watching the DNC.
I’ll do as I did with the RNC…watch the heavy hitters and a select few others. Generally speaking, all conventions become repetitive to the point of absurdity.
To the point of nausea, I believe. Let’s see what rags-to-riches stories the DNC can come up with.
Given what Obama has done for the economy I think they will have more luck finding riches to rags stories! I’ve sure seen a LOT of them in this community sadly.
I always liked Bobby Kennedy’s one speech…“I was born in a 27 room log cabin.”
It’s not strictly a girl thing: some of the stories were inspirational. However, there are so many of them! The only moment I found truly touching, because it was so sincere, was when Rick Santorum talked about his little daughter, Bella.
Riches? Whoa…whoa…whoa…there will be no “riches.” The GOP is the party of the (evil, stinking, filthy) “rich.” It will be rags-to-nicer-looking-rags stories.
You have a good point. LOL However, I think the country-club Rockefeller Republican stereotype is no longer viable. Now it’s the redneck Republican stereotype.Riches? Whoa…whoa…whoa…there will be no “riches.” The GOP is the party of the (evil, stinking, filthy) “rich.” It will be rags-to-nicer-looking-rags stories.
