His father, a non practicing Muslim who deserted the family when he was a couple years old. His stepfather, a Muslim. He has made any number of statements that would lead one to believe that he has little grasp of biblical christianity, nor the intent of the Founding Fathers of this nation. Concerning christianity he said, "<em>I am a Christian...So, I have a deep faith. I'm rooted in the Christian tradition. <strong>I believe that there are many paths to the same place</strong>, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people</em>." He is a member of something called "The United Church of Christ". It must be some other "Christ" than the one spoken of in the Bible though, for they practice a very liberal notion of what Christianity is, that "ordains" homosexuals. That's not biblical Christianity. Concerning the Founders he said, "<em>I am a big believer in the separation of church and state...I am a great admirer of our founding charter and <strong>its resolve to prevent theocracies from forming and its resolve to prevent disruptive strains of fundamentalism from taking root in this country</strong>."</em> The intent of the Founders was obviously not what he twists it into. In the first place, the vast majority of the Founders WERE, what I am certain he and his liberally minded ilk would call, "fundamentalists". Second, those God fearing men KNEW that without God in the hearts of men, this Nation would be doomed from the start. They also knew from experience what would happen if the Government stuck its nose into religion, that not only would the religion be virtually destroyed, but it also would be replaced by a government dictated and seemingly religious, false belief system. He also has stated, "<em>I'm a law professor at the University of Chicago teaching constitutional law</em>." That's not true. According the University web site, he is a "Senior Lecturer in Law". He believes in unlimited abortion "rights", and despite what scripture clearly states, denies that Hell exists. The only portion of what he likes to call christianity that he wishes to extend into government is, in his own words, "<em>I am my brother's keeper; I am my sister's keeper</em>," Obama said. He said that principle of taking care of others is relevant "<em>not only in our places of worship but also in our government</em>." What that REALLY means in liberal speak is, I want to redistribute wealth forcibly via the government through higher taxes. Non believers will for the most part appreciate and welcome Obama's "christian" message, simply because it isn't the Biblical version of Christianity.

He has made any number of statements that would lead one to believe that he has little grasp of biblical christianity, nor the intent of the Founding Fathers of this nation.

Concerning christianity he said, “I am a Christian…So, I have a deep faith. I’m rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people.”

He is a member of something called “The United Church of Christ”. It must be some other “Christ” than the one spoken of in the Bible though, for they practice a very liberal notion of what Christianity is, that “ordains” homosexuals.

That’s not biblical Christianity.

Concerning the Founders he said, “I am a big believer in the separation of church and state…I am a great admirer of our founding charter and its resolve to prevent theocracies from forming and its resolve to prevent disruptive strains of fundamentalism from taking root in this country.”

The intent of the Founders was obviously not what he twists it into.

He also has stated, “I’m a law professor at the University of Chicago teaching constitutional law.” That’s not true. According the University web site, he is a “Senior Lecturer in Law”.

The only portion of what he likes to call christianity that he wishes to extend into government is, in his own words, “I am my brother’s keeper; I am my sister’s keeper,” Obama said.

If "Christians, Muslims and Jews have traveled similar religious paths", maybe he'll try Jewish next, going for the trifecta. Obama wants to reach out to Evangelicals? Really?

The only thing worse than the avid hatred of the Judeo-Christian tradition by so many on the left would be an obviously disingenuous reaching out that is really nothing more than whoring for votes. If he wants to start somewhere, he needs to start with his own party/side of the political spectrum and make them understand: 1) Christianity isn't evil 2) Neither is Judaism 3) Both of the above provide a significant portion of the foundation of Western Civilization; and 4) Western Civilization is worth defending, tooth and nail, as it is by far the most humane civilization ever created. I seriously doubt if liberals believe any of those things, and that's where their problem with evangelicals begins.

He's also involved in a pretty weird effort to turn Rwanda into a "purpose-driven" nation. I'm all for missionary efforts and outreach, but putting the branding first bothers me a great deal.
