Barack Obama Religion Knowledge Base

Do people actually know what religion Barack Obama is a member of? Or do they just make assumptions based on his name and heritage? Or do they actually know and could identify here which religion he practices?
Barack Obama, religion & politics? I'm not quite sure if B.O. is pro seperation of church & state or not. Could ya'll help me out.
Given his support of the death penalty and religion in government is Barack Obama really a closet republican? Soon he will favor maintaining the status quo re: Iraq as evidenced by his visit to Iraq to "refine" his policy. The euphemism refine is a set up for a realignment of his policy to conform with the demorepublican war mongering. He is not a candidate for change. VOTE GREEN A majority of Americans do not support the death penalty and only 28% disagreed with the Supreme Courts correct decision to NOT EXPAND that barbarous religious inspired policy of state sanctioned murder.
What religion is Barack Obama in? what does he REALLY believe in? I keep hearing that he's muslim and he's not. I don't really care what religion he is though(which won't affect my choice). But it'd be nice to know
How does the election of Barack Obama affect countries around the world? And also, what do the other countries say about him? I have to do a mini-project on Barack Obama for religion (I'm fifteen) and, amongst other things, I have to answer the questions above. I'm doing ok, but I need to bulk up my answers. Thanks.
What is the name of the religion where Jesus Christ is replaced by Barack Obama? That is my faith. I am going to throw away my Bible and I am awaiting to get an updated version with Barack Obama in it and Jesus out of it.
What religion is Barack Obama? Is he a Christian or is he a muslim and why is it so difficult to get him to admit this? Is he afraid being a muslim will not get him elected? So then doe his silence mean that he is a muslim? If he is proud of what he believes in, then why doesn't he just tell us?
What religion is Barack Obama? Is he middle eastern since his last name is Huseim?

make a convincing argument for why Gandhi, Leonardo Da Vinci, Idi Amin Albert Einstein, and Barack Obama are t make a convincing argument for why Gandhi, Leonardo Da Vinci, Idi Amin Albert Einstein, and Barack Obama are the most suitable for the journey ( the reasoning may involve issues of survival,morality, sanity, religion , cultural progress , politics, etc.)
Barack Obama? If you are a supporter of Barack Obama, are you aware that he has practiced Muslim religion his entire life until recently? Well, for one if YOU did research on the presidential candidates and read for yourself the book that they themselves published then you would KNOW what religious background he comes from. He recently converted to United Church of Christ and as a senator he wasn't sworn into office with a Holy Bible it was the Kuran that was used. Do your research before you vote! The muslims have said they will destroy America from the inside out so this is something to take very seriously. If he were voted into office and America crumbles you can look to yourself for this outcome, not me.
Is Barack Obama a HYPOCRITE when it comes to religion? Obama is complaining that "right wing" evangelists have hijacked their religion. I guess he would be an expert on that subject. After all, his "former" religion, Islam, has been hijacked by extremists who blow up and kill innocent civilians and has the sympathy and support of most of its congregation in doing so. His "current" religion, whatever that is, has been hijacked by black racists who have replaced God with Farrakhan, and replaced the word "amen" with "black power." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070623/ap_on_el_pr/obama_religion G - I know exactly what the hypocrite means. And he is a HYPOCRITE for singling out Christianity and totally ignoring Islam, and his "black advancement" church. The fact that G has 4 thumbs up shows how BIASED people are. Whether you agree with me or not, that's a bad answer. A HYPOCRITE criticizes other preachers when their own preacher doesn't even preach about God!! He preaches about black people this, black people that. LOOK AT YOUR OWN PASTOR, OBAMA THE HYPOCRITE.
How many people intend to vote for Barack Obama simply because of his black race? Isn't Barack Obama also Muslim, while the U.S. is currently at war with predominantly Muslim nations? Wouldn't you say this might be perceived as voting for someone with interests or loyalties contrary to the American people, and those instead easily accessible to "enemy" interests? Why, at this crucial time in American history, would people vote for a man based on his racial background? Does that sort of sentiment or mentality actually promise a stable future for America? While history and current affairs in the Middle East have taught us that fundamental Islamic doctrine favors non-secular states which merge politics and religion seamlessly, will Constitutional America and freedoms thrive or grow increasingly dictatorial?
What is the best way for me to refute this e-mail I received, spreading fear and hate about Barack Obama? Wow! If this is true...it's a little scary to me that Obama is actually a Presidential Candidate! What is happening to AMERICA!? I hope this interests you....it certainly did me. I found reading Trinity C of C mission statement very enlightening and SAD! Obama mentioned his church during his appearance with Oprah. It's the Trinity Church of Christ. I found this interesting. Obama's church: Please read and go to this church's website and read what is written there. It is very alarming. Barack Obama is a member of this church and is running for President of the U.S. If you look at the first page of their website, you will learn that this congregation has a non-negotiable commitment to Africa. No where is AMERICA even mentioned. Notice too, what color you will need to be if you should want to join Obama's church... B-L-A-C-K!!! Doesn't look like his choice of religion has improved much over his (former?) Muslim upbringing. Are you aware that Obama's middle name is Mohammed? Strip away his nice looks, the big smile and smooth talk and what do you get? Certainly a racist, as plainly defined by the stated position of his church! And possibly a covert worshiper of the Muslim faith, even today. This guy desires to rule over America while his loyalty is totally vested in a Black Africa! I cannot believe this has not been all over the TV and newspapers. This is why it is so important to pass this message along to all of our family & friends. To think that Obama has even the slightest chance in the run for the presidency, is really scary. Click on the link below: This is the web page for the church Barack Obama belongs to: www.tucc.org/about.htm The goof balls couldn't even get his middle name correct! Too funny! http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/church.asp
WHY are RIGHTWINGERS ALREADY SMEARING BARACK OBAMA WITH LIES? Obama has been a Christian and a regular churchgoer for many years. So why is the right wing smearing him with lies about his religion? http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp
Does anyone know how the "Obama is a Muslim" rumour started? http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071210/ap_on_el_pr/clinton_obama_religion;_ylt=Agy_2dw_n7OWxpQEuCjlCtOs0NUE "DES MOINES, Iowa - Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign on Sunday requested the resignation of a second Iowa volunteer coordinator who forwarded a hoax e-mail saying Barack Obama is a Muslim possibly intent on destroying the United States. Obama is a member of the United Church of Christ and says he has never been a Muslim, but false rumors attempting to tie him to Islamic jihadists are circulating on the Internet. "Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential Candidacy," read the e-mail. "Please forward to everyone you know. The Muslims have said they Plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at The highest level."" I've heard people say that this accusation was probably started by Republicans, but here's the truth in black and white. Ironic that the attack was done by members of his own liberal party! Donna K: 1. My entire family is catholic. 2. I went to a catholic private school for four years. 3. My first and last names are both traditionally catholic names. Yet the last thing anyone could call me is a Catholic. How does it feel getting pwn3d up in your own house? Lettie D: I suggest you quit while you are ahead. That is now twice that you've made an idiot out of yourself with your post. 1). Don't use the word "neo-con" if you want me to take you seriously. It is a political buzzword that only uneducated, yet opinionated people (and white supremacists) use to sound smarter than they are. It doesn't work. 2). Muslim is not an ethnicity - it is what a follower of Islam is called, regardless of race. If Romney converted to Islam tomorrow, he would be a Muslim tomorrow.
What religious ceremony had Barack Obama? I mean, with what religion? ? Was it a catholic ceremony??? dont talk to me dirty english please, I dont speak very good I wouldnt understand
Barack Obama has put his religion back into the headlines? Barack Obama has put his religion back into the headlines, trumpeting the power and salvation of faith and asking a church audience in South Carolina to help him become “an instrument of God” and join him in creating “a Kingdom right here on Earth." What do you think?
Barack Obama? I know this is a little dated by internet standards(5 days) but are the comments posted on can Barack Obama become President really the best we have to offer? First of all the man is not a Muslum, he was born in Hawaii, he's not even 100% black, his father was Nigerian his mother Hawian. I mean really I have come to expect more from the cyberspace community, I mean really potshots at his lineage and his religion, (most of which were wrong in their facts). My question is did I miss some of the more thoughtful answers or is it really true that any IDIOT can run a computer these days?????????
Barack Obama? does this mean the mayor of Bethlehem will not vote for him Local mayors are lining up against Senator Barack Obama because of some controversial comments he made about small-town Pennsylvanians. Last week, Obama said that some voters are bitter over their economic circumstances and cling to guns and religion as a result. Mayor John Callahan of Bethlehem calls the comment condescending. He says: "We need a president in my mind who is going to get things done, someone whos not going to make comments that are necessarily critical or to pile on." The mayor adds: "We are blue collar folks, we have a lot of pride, and we're not bitter." The mayors of Scranton, Wilkes-Barre and Harrisburg have echoed similar remarks. Obama said today that he chose his words badly, and that it's not the first time, and it won't be the last.
how do you know the religion of barack obama? just wondering nothing else..... ihear people say he is muslim and they are sure and vise versa...
Do you think Hillary sanctioned the latest Obama smear campaign? Clinton volunteer asked to resign "Hillary Rodham Clinton's campaign on Sunday requested the resignation of a second Iowa volunteer coordinator who forwarded a hoax e-mail saying Barack Obama is a Muslim possibly intent on destroying the United States." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071210/ap_po/clinton_obama_religion
Will Barack Obama win the 2008 election ? Perhaps. But I am wondering how is this man gonna tackle the issues of religion and so forth. With him being a Democratic President, he may have to confront issues concerning Atheism, and things..... And also race issues which may leave a bad taste in people's mouths. I don't know..... Also about his international influence with the world. And the war in Iraq, and Jihads. Will his maturity overcome his inexperience ? We shall see...... And will Barack Obama win the White vote, and are we ready for a Black President ? He may create change yes. But at times I wonder how, and what adversity he may face being a man of color. Best answer wins. ~~~ That's my point Syed. So if he loses, then people are gonna be very upset. When they should just go for Hillary Clinton, at best.
How come people dont know this about BARACK OBAMA!!!? Hasnt anyone bothered to check. Ive met him and his family. Ive Read his book which obviously most of the people on here have not Here are some facts Barack Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr. (born in Alego, a village in Nyanza Province, Kenya) and Ann Dunham (born in Wichita, Kansas). His parents met while both were attending the East-West Center of the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where his father was enrolled as a foreign student. Yes many of Baraks relatives are muslim. He has a muslim name he got from his father. But he claims christianity as his religion. He half Kenyan half white non of that is American black or arab. PERIOD!!!! get over it people.
What religion is Barack Obama? I am reading on here that he is a muslim, true?
What religion is Barack Obama? UCC or Methodist? My brother and I have been discussing Mr. Obama's background. We know his dad,who is from Kenya, was raised a Muslim, though he claimed to be a "confirmed athiest". His mom, American, was "detached from religion". Obama has been baptized, that much I know; but I cannot find what faith he subscribes to now. Thank you for any information you can pass along!
Did Barack Obama put you gun toting religious people in your place today? "You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing’s replaced them...And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." - Barack Hussein Obama Take that!
Will the REPUBLICANS play the religion card against the vintage Liberal policies of BARACK OBAMA ? Some may be reluctant to support Obama's policies. Which is very Liberal. He may lean to the far left, when it comes to issues, like gay rights, and abortion. And let me go ahead and put stem cell research in there. OK. The Supreme Court could be affected, by who he appoints. And there could be a major attack on the "institution" of marriage. As some say. But this runs far and wide. Not to mention the issues on race, which could lead to reperations for Blacks. And the infamous affirmative action debate. Now. Are you scared yet, GOP' ers ? Do you think that the Republicans will play the religion card against Obama ? Best answer wins. ~~~ Note Rezkos trial starts today. And he may have ties to this man, that we have yet to hear of...... Hey Bugeyes. Can you say IMPEACH McCAIN ? ? That is what you will be saying in about 2 years, if he is elected.
What religion is Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. a/k/a Barry Soetoro HONESTLY? A 2007 Associated Press photograph, suppressed until now, shows the school register of the child who is today known as Barack Hussein Obama but was officially listed then as Barry Soetoro, whose citizenship was listed as "Indonesian" and whose religion was listed as "Islam." The visual evidence starkly contradicts the Obama campaign's claim that he was not a Muslim and confirms that he is a national of at least one other country. http://web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Politics/13056.htm [photo of Barry Soetoro's school record] http://web.israelinsider.com/Static/Binaries/Article/barryschoolregistration424_0.jpg * * * * * "Obama at Georgetown: The mystery of the missing sign" By Julia Duin on April 15, 2009 The Washington Times Online - http://washingtontimes.com/weblogs/belief-blog/2009/apr/15/obama-at-georgetown-the-mystery-of-the-missing-sig/ When President Obama gave his economics speech at Georgetown University on Tuesday, several folks noticed something was missing. That "something" was an ancient monogram -- the letters IHS -- that symbolizes the name of Jesus. It was missing from a wooden archway above the dais in Gaston Hall where the president delivered his 45-minute speech. The gold-lettered monogram appeared near a painting of three female figures -- symbolizing morality, faith and patriotism -- and decorative edging along the wall that spelled out the Jesuit motto "Ad majorem Dei gloriam"—"To the greater glory of God." Georgetown was founded by the Jesuits. Some of them may have been turning in their graves in the cemetery across campus at the sight of the missing monogram which looked like a blacked-out space above a blue backdrop and a row of American flags flanking the nation's chief executive. Was Georgetown selling short its Catholic heritage, we wondered. * * * * * "MUSLIM OBAMA SAYS IN HIS BOOK HE’S ON THE SIDE OF MUSLIMS" Grant Swank* | March 18, 2008 http://www.americanconservativedaily.com/2008/03/muslim-obama-says-in-his-book-he%E2%80%99s-on-the-side-of-muslims/ “In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans … have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging,” he laments. “I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.” That is what Barack Obama wrote in his book, “Audacity.” Now you can be sure that when Obama is in the White House, something “ugly” will occur to offend the nation’s “Arab and Pakistani Americans”—in other words, Muslims. So whose side will Obama then take? He will side with the Muslims per his own public statement in his book. There is no question. It is right there.
What might this mean for Barack Obama and the US? Barack Obama is now what Islamic law calls a murtadd (apostate), an ex-Muslim converted to another religion who must be executed. Were he elected president of the Untied States, this status, clearly, would have large potential implications for his relationship with the Muslim world.
Is it True? Barack Obama Believes in Racist Anti-White Religion? I heard Barack Obama is a follower of Black Liberation Theology? Is this true?
Who is this Sen-Barack Obama Democrat potential?? What nationality, ancestry Arab? His Religion is What? Where is his family from, what country? Of course this has to do with his name being a bit inordinate...so please don't send me the liberal answer as to my question having a race bias. I'm concerned since he just came in out of nowhere as I'm sure many others as well are curious as heck!!
barack obama? Hey, So what is the deal with Barack Obamas religion or faith? Does he have a specific faith or religion he is a part of or??? People say he is like JFK with his faith speech, but I am confused on what they are saying. I am looking for someone to help me understand him a little better. Thanks
Does Barack Obama realize that he will LOSE my vote if he keeps catering to hateful religion? As a Congregationalist, Obama belongs to one of the only decent branches of Christianity in the entire world. For example, they openly embrace gays and give them no hateful rhetoric. However, now Obama is touring the South and catering to those who think it would be fine to stone certain groups of people to death. Barack, if you are actually about Jesus, which has next to nothing to do with Christianity, then you will be proud to have evangelicals as your enemy, as they are the enemy to all decent forms of mankind.
Is Barack Obama Christian or Some Other Religion? So, he's christian, like Mitt Romney.
Is Barack Obama Nation of Islam? Barack Obama's chosen religion is Black Liberation Theology taught by Rev Wright at Trinity United Church. The creator of this religion, James H Cone, says that it is a mixture of Nation of Islam and Christianity. Does this mean Barack is a Muslim or a Christian?
What religion is Barack Obama from? I dont know with certainty his religion i mean ive heard of him being a muslin and other things but I dont really know his religion so if anyone knows and is kind enough to tell me please do so God Bless You All oh also ive heard some poeple mention that he is a Christian but he is a Jehova´s witness which i dont believe but i rather have someone else tell me than keeping this doubt to myself.
sex scandal, drugs, religion, war, barack obama? OK, now that I have your attention; Professional is to Professionalism as Veteran is to...
Who is more qualified to speak about religion james dobson or barack obama? I mean james dobson probably has studied the bible inside out and has dedicated his life to his religion, while obama was non-religious? until his twenties then when he converts to christianity he joins a church led by jeremiah wright. So you tell me who knows best! Pix you didn't answer the question did you? Just danced around it lol because you know what the answer is. jimmy when did politics and making sensible decisions go hand in hand? dragon at least you answered the question, obama made a mistake though taking on dobson because dobson had said he wasn't even going to vote for a president this time and now I'm guessing he not only will vote mccain but will talk against obama on his radio show all the way to the general election and dobson has alot of influence. I'd like to point out to everyone that now we have obama lecturing us on religion and I'm tired of his cocky, arrogant attitude myself. He should have never ever let james dobson come out of his mouth but he is just doing the bidding of his liberal friends like moveon.org who would like to see dobson silenced. James dobson is a good man and knows what he is talking about, so for obama to say folks need to read their bibles lol I would say he needs to join a real church!
Does Barack Obama Believe In Black Liberation Theology? Obama's church and his pastor, Rev Wright believe in Black Liberation Theology which is described by mainstream black Christian ministers as a racist anti-white religion. If Barack has attended this church for 20 Years does that mean Obama is a believer in this religion as well? Note: The Trinity United Church has been cited as the best proponent of Black Liberation Theology by the creator of the religion, James Cone.
Is it True? Barack Obama Believes in Racist Anti-White Religion? I heard Barack Obama is a follower of Black Liberation Theology? Is this true?
Will Islam be the national religion of the US if Barack Hussein Obama gets elected? I don't want to beat my girl because she shoes her toe nail.
Barack Obama? What religion is he?
Barack Obama? Is it true he refuses to wear an American flag pin? Someone told me he wouldn't and I think that thats kinda strange that he won't wear the flag of the country he supposedly loves and wants to make better. Also, I know he says he's not Muslim but its just hard to trust him or the that religion in general. I know not all Muslims are bad just the extremists are but its still hard to trust. Anyways, is the American flag thing true and what are your opinions about him?
Barack Obama? does anyone know if Obama has publicly announced Christianity as his religion? Or is he a Muslim?
Why would Barack Obama be the best choice for the Presidency? I am a former republican and I am hoping to cast my vote for Barack Obama next year. I believe he is a fair minded individual who is not prejudiced by race or religion. I also believe that he has real integrity and a respect for the Constitution. Explain why you think Mr. Obama is the best choice for President (or explain why you think someone else would be better). Barrack is not like the other candidates in my opinion. He will not expand the Government. He recently stated he would eliminate almost all of the programs that GWB put in place (because GWB had no constitutional authority in the first place) and he would cut military spending. It would be almost impossible to make Government any larger at this point. Obama will reduce the Government's excess if anything. Ron Paul would take things even further and we would see drastic changes. He is quickly becoming my new favorite. He also has a true grasp of the Constitution. I am still afraid some of his plans are drastic and may cause instability. Obama has a good understanding of the Constitution (you can really listen to him speak if you check out his debate with Keyes in 2004) and is not a socialist. He has a strong understanding of States rights and knows that the Federal Government is overstepping its bounds (as does Ron Paul).
Is Barack Obama the only candidate to openly support the separation of church and state? “This separation is critical to our form of government because in the end, democracy demands that the religiously motivated translate their concerns into universal, rather than religion-specific, values. It requires that their proposals be subject to argument, and amenable to reason. If I am opposed to abortion for religious reasons but seek to pass a law banning the practice, I cannot simply point to the teachings of my church. I have to explain why abortion violates some principle that is accessible to people of all faiths, including those with no faith at all.” - Barack Obama's speech on faith .
Who will get up on the Barack Obama bandwagon? I think Barack Obama is the best candidate the Democratic Party has and the best one that portraits a new beginning.The election of Obama as the new United States President will make Marthin Luther King very proud; it will be the fullfillment of his "dream".The election of Barack Obama will make Abraham Lincoln and Malcom X proud too.From segregation and extreme in racism in the 50's and 60's to the first african american 40 or 50 years later will show the rapid maturity and humanity of american society.Neverthless, Obama is not the perfect candidate(no one is), in fact, I don't like him for being islamic because I'm a born again christian, but I'm liberal too and I have no problem with he as president, because of the separation of religion and government as stated in the US Constitution.Obama should be uscritinized like other candidates. What do you think?! Discuss

Barack Obama? What Religion Is He?
What do you think of the following letter defending Barack Obama? I would like to thank you for this opportunity to defend my candidate and his religious preference. Nobody is perfect. It is always a matter of the lesser evils when we vote, isn't it? "We are One Nation, ..... One People ......united under the constitution of the United States of America!" Obama does not bring "religion" into his politics. I like that! There will be less and less traces of that mentality in the future of politics. In 1974 Gerald Ford and congress attempted to status quo "Christianity" as the mainstream religion of the United States. Through their actions, many non Christians have been oppressed, been pushed down in our society to the enslavement of organized social engine organizations that beat their chest that they are the chosen ones, they are the saved ones. I was raised to a converted (was Protestant) mother and a Catholic(would not take communion) father. And I went to parochial(Catholic) school that taught me the most cruel severe spiritual terrorism that anyone could ever be taught to spread to others. While these social organizations enjoy teaching that we should help one another in charity(something I admire about them), they do it in a very sick fashion sometimes. They taught me, at the age or 6-18, to tell other non catholics that they and their families would suffer eternally in some damnation, in hell fire, in some godforsaken separation from the Love of God! Soooooo sick! And to use a 6 or 7 year old boy to do this! Right here in the good ole PURE US of A! This happened all the while while I was being physically abused by my father and mother, sometimes being beaten by hairbrushes and strapping on occasion for my father's nitpicking children's offenses in our family. He was under pressure, having been raised by an intolerant non communicative father himself and having guarded German prisoners in WWII where he became abandoned (similar to how the Nazis programmed their SS in WWII) , hardened to the terrible physical abuses he had to witness...the daily beatings of enlisted prisoners of that camp that would go unchallenged by the US guards who were ordered not to interfere unless somebody was actually killed, actually died in their witness. That unanswered unresolved, un counseled witness made him an abuser to us as children later in his adult life. He and we are victims of circumstance, unfolding chaos in this modern world that pauses before being able to blanket us in a warmth of comfort that we seek to functionally cooperate with one another in sometimes less that desirable circumstances to do so. The Pledge of Allegiance, using the term "God" is a farce. We all don't believe in one God! If you ask enough questions of any "so called" believer, you will find that, more often than not, these believers do not agree on what God is. Very often their answers end in programmed "It's a mystery!", without any due consideration of logic! If you say there is One God, all knowing and ever present, then how can any logical mind conclude that this God can ever separate from itself? EVER? That obviously is the ONE thing that ONE God cannot do! So let me tell you, Mister Man, if God cannot separate from God's self, then Eternal Damnation is a big lie! The biggest LIE EVER put upon mankind! It is a lie purported by all Judeo Christian, Islamic,....you name it, any religion that says it exists and says there is One God! It is a lie from Jesus! Although people and organizations lie about this, they are in no less peril from it, either here or in any afterlife sense! We all do the best that we can! Jesus recognized this when he said, "Greater works than these that I do will they do who come after me, for I go unto my Father!", meaning that each of us makes mistakes on this earth, witnessable mistakes, even while doing our best, and if we can see each other as we are in heaven better than, with more love(time is unlimited in heaven....you can get that way)...then if we follow our imaginations of how things would be in such a circumstance, we can act accordingly and improve our human lot, healing one another instead of killing one another or building unresolved emotional stress upon one another one after the other. My personal relationship with Jesus Christ is unique. I tell you I am not a Christian because I do not profess or acknowledge...in fact I refute the infallibility of a man named Jesus Christ who is reported to have lived here on this earth 2000+ years ago. I believe that in heaven, that is what Jesus would want me to do. Since I see faults that he did, I do not repeat those faults. I am not of parts. that I can recognize, of my fathers the devil or demons or hurtful behaviors of my ancestry. I have resolved as many of them as I can and I continue to resolve them with resolve, even while being attacked by their grandchildren because they know not what they do. My daughter has cancer from her addictions to tanning, poor diet and her rebellion against the ways I taught her to live, brought on by the chaos of the religious peer pressures and media to dumb down what truth came from her father. My son is in jail on cocaine related charges, again, a rebeller against his father. Perhaps society will change enough to teach these children, to validate their father's teachings and not to bring hardship upon that father to punish that father (that worships heavenly spirit) .........and his family for the truth he shared with the world! I do not bow to the false God of eternal damnation promise or spiritual terror. I only follow leaders that do that when I am under threat of not being able to survive or help my family survive when I realize that if I don't cave into the Magisterium temporarily, an immediate, in this lifetime, suffering will take place that will kill or dismember one of my family's members! This is spiritual terror. I am a survivor! But this religion thing is about common sense, logic, isn't it? Would you want me to stand beside you, saying "One God" in that pledge, when you and I do not agree on what that God is, and therefore that Oneness is false? That was lieing last time I checked! What is it to you? Or have you also learned to lie about lieing? lol I am a Forgive Affirmed Spirit. I am not a Christian, nor a Muslim, nor a Jew, nor a Mormon, nor a Church of Christ, nor a Baptist, nor a Methodist.....I am a Forgive Affirmed Spirit! You can read about Forgive Affirmed Spirit on Yahoo Questions and Answers under the search for it or search for "skahhh", my name under Yahoo. I am truly skahhhed and I share my skahhhs there with you. It sounds like scar for a reason. It is not important to single me out for my scars, rather that you each find your own scars and forgive them, share them with one another. Then they can become resolved, then we can have One Real Godlikeness that we can all concentrate on, that means something, that means healing to all of us! I believe Mr Obama believes like I do, but realizes that he must associate with something politically to align himself with the voting public. But I could be wrong here. If he does believe in eternal damnation, then I disagree with him, but he is still the hope of this country. He has a voice that cries out for American Values, the way I think they should be cried out for. He has the energy to cry out for the oppressed and the potential to recognize the economic crisis that is before us. The meaningful jobs are going away. Technology is quickly eating up the necessity for labor and if we don't get a handle on this real quick, millions of people are going to starve and die, right here in this country. Prior to this time, and perhaps for a time longer until our government realizes what it is up against, Governments have used wars as economic stimulus! Sooner or later this has to change or we will destroy each other on earth beyond repair! Idealistic differences are going to need to be discussed and consensused without killing one another physically. The hope of this happening may be in the US population building it's democratic spirit within it's constitution! The part of "our God" that we can agree on, that blessed us with this document is truly AMAZING, AWESOME! I could pledge allegiance to that part of God! Would you permit me to say that in the pledge? Can you hear me now? "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic, for which it stands, one nation, under that part of God that we all agree on that allowed us to form the the Constitution of the United States of America,... for which this Nation stands, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all!"? Hmmm.... I didn't think you would. You take your time and think a little more about this. You are grown adults. Words mean something, people. As we are from the Creation Energy, Image, the imagination that invented, imploded the Golden dust of the ages, mixed with temperature changes and the moisture that came about from those trapped changes of the dust and therefore the formation of our original slime that became human and evolved through creation to this point, we are parts of that creation/creator, and as such our words are from that Creation energy, hence our words are Words of God! No utterance can be but from that source else there is no source! I do not condone killing. I have never heard Obama EVER say he condoned killing! For you to say he condoned killing of Americans because he may not be of your church...to draw that conclusion is pure hatred! I despise that kind of hate. I will do everything in my power to subdue it and fight spiritually, mentally, emotionally, all the while defending my physical health as much as possible and the health of my loved ones as much as possible against the dumbing down of political thought and spiritual genocide that occurs from the spread of Eternal Damnation as some sort of contorted bipolar truth! I love this life. I love the people in it. I love it so much that I will lay down my thoughts for you and yours as plain as I can put them. I use my energy to do so. I know, and you probably know of noone who has done this plainer than I have. I would like to meet them if you do. They and I can hash this out. Always need a few more in this battle for functional truth. Muslims believe in Allah. They are just as contorted as Christians. They claim that Allah is only good! They claim that everything came from Allah. Well, I got news for them, unless you call everything good, then evil came from Allah too if that is what you call your Creation Energy. One source is one source, no matter how you cut it! So each of these religions lives a lie. Now the question to me is, who has the ability to cut to the chase, to use words and to write words and to re author democracy to fit all of us, without undue killing, a person brainwashed in Eternal Damnation from one side, or a person who can see through both sides? I think it is the latter. I think Obama has some foresight you will never get from any other status quo candidate! I admire any man who questions his faith openly and who can show that he is on a path to becoming a unifier of gracious loving spirit and who does so by his actions. Obama has done that. Obama wants retirees making less than 50k per year to pay NO TAX. If the immediate economic finances dictate that we have to pay people double minimum wage, what will your retirement be worth? You better be thinking things over, because this guy has done some thinking and if you waste your vote, it might be too late to head things in a functional direction! Many a person has been killed over religion. Many a person has fought in a war on the side of Christianity. If you go to Vietnam, 3 million Vietnamese were killed by our country. If you go to Iraq, how many Iraqis have died in this latest war? Oh I realize we are scared and we think they want to kill us. We get worried about that ..."Am I willing to die, to martyr for my religion?" complex they tried to brainwash into our minds in Catholic school. But millions more have died at the hands of so called Christians, than probably any other religion! We don't mean to kill others, but we, like Muslims, spend so much time memorizing scriptures and prayers that we fail, from time driven humanity to learn foreign language and find a way for all of us to agree, yet. This is how God, Creation, placed us here. Our purpose....apparently for the entertainment of how we are in spirit in that Creation energy to give us a break from all knowing boredom? Again, I am glad for this Barack Hussein Obama. He wants to actively pursue Osama Bin Laden in Pakistan! If we know where he is let's go get him! I agree! That's my political spouting for this day! Healing be unto you and yours and me and mine In Forgive Affirmed Spirit Skip Heilmann The following is a letter I got from a concerned friend about my support for Obama After one of the messages that Skip wrote, you might like to forward this missive to him. He plans to support Mr. Obama. I don't trust the slime from the word "Go!" For a start, I find that anything to do with Islam is totally repugnant to me. Living among those people for the better part of 4 years of my life gave me a deeper understanding of what they think of any person who does not absolutely adhere to their beliefs. Their credo is "Convert or die." Additionally, they have the option of lying as well. In my opinion, one of the most glossed over aspects of Islam is that it is OK to lie to a "non-believer" ( a.k.a. INFIDEL). I personally can find no source that can either confirm or deny this claim that I am making about Islam. Regardless, as the basis of a so-called "religion of peace," any lying doesn't cut it with me. I know of no other religion that teaches lying as a means to an end so openly. Fault any other religion in the world for various reasons all one wishes to, but don't forget that it's not a problem for Muslim people to lie. I did as the message mentioned and found this bit of information at the Snopes site: http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/muslim.asp In essence, Snopes.com points out that the claims are either exaggerated or false. To my way of thinking, again this all depends on how one wishes to view the issue. Let's face it, the Democrats are desperate. For Democrats, it's either "Billary" or some other questionable kook! Obama? PUH-leeze! Surely we can do better than that!? Truthfully, again to my way of thinking, if there is even the slightest question of being somehow having even so "little" as an "exaggerated" claim regarding some aspect of a candidate's fitness for "high office" ... it is sufficient to discount or discredit the efficacy of that candidate. Sadly, our country has degenerated sufficiently that we will soon deteriorate into the same kind of thing that ancient Rome became ... another has-been "super-power." Like Rome, this country will probably degerate to the extent that it will no longer hold faithful to the principles of the founders of this country. For a start, the "politically correct" folks have pretty much thrashed and trashed the more conservative elements of our society in the name of "freedom." So, there you have my opinion. Reader's Digest version? I wouldn't vote for ANY Democrat if that person was the ONLY candidate! What makes anyone think I would waste my time voting for a Democrat knowing the likes of Clinton (which strangely enough rhymes with Peron, the former El Presidente of Argentina) are still given credence by our media? A total waste. I'm convinced that most Americans are clueless enough they will vote for those candidates if for no other reason than I have never found myself in agreement with the "majority" here in the US. The beef, wordwran, is that religious discrimination is alive and well in the United States and is contorted and hateful agains people who can make a real functional difference in our society! Aaron, God is not unique to the Jews or the Christians! But I do think there was a sense of a Creator Energy. The word energy, as in cosmic energy was not generally accepted by general mankind until recently. So, the idea of Cosmic Creation, of a belonging to that Cosmic Creation is an evolving, unfolding one that recognizes as time goes by, that we are not all zombies spitting anything that our pastors tell us....some of it creates inequities that are one sided on the sides of the social engine belongers, the donating members of the traditionalist fundamentalist Eternal Damnation worshipping religious organizations! Times have changed and more and more people have found themselves thinking for themselves and bringing out their inner "Words of God" that threaten the there to fore presentations of their previous masters whom they memorized. The point is, religion, what and who God is, what and how nature is connected, what and how Creation is in us and about us is changing. America is changing. We no longer have a complacent majority sitting on the sidelines with no opinion except that they do want a quality of life and some equality. America has to change with that or it will be defunct in a short period of time.
I am NOT for Barack Obama but where can I go to read about his background? Religion? how many years married? you know stuff like that............. BTW - I'm all for the republicans
