people don't WANT seperation between church and state sometimes here in the statesJaekus wrote:
Topics like these just go to show how much people still can't see the separation between church and state.
It doesn't fucking matter. If you elect someone based upon their religious beliefs then you've missed the point entirely from the start.
Yeah, I know. To me that's a big problem, but I guess to 20% of the population in the US whom are evangelists they're all for it.Trotskygrad wrote:

Really? I know nothing of their government, is it that bad?it's not as bad as italy though
My post centered around the effects it had and should have had in a Presidential Campaign. It's important to note that.When responding.Phrozenbot wrote:
That is an issue with the media, not the president then. Is he supposed to chastise the media for that? His religious beliefs should be personal.Hunter/Jumper wrote:
1' The Muslim / Christian thing doesn't really bother me.
My problem is that the media is so blatant in its attempt to cover for him.
H/J wrote:
2. He needs that Christian title to really carry the black vote in its entirety
Because the Black vote has a Heavy slant toward Christianity in there beliefs, obviously some are atheists some are Muslim but the majority are Devote Christian and take it very seriously. The may abandon him if they believe him to be insincere, it could cost him re-election.Phrozenbot wrote:
Why just black people?
No kidding I was referencing the manipulation of his Religion to run his campaign successfully See above. Also Do you view him as effective has he kept his promises Do you like the Economy now ?Phrozenbot wrote:
Anyways, it doesn't matter what his religion is as far as being an effective president goes.

3. He converted at the start of his political aspirations.
uh oh, lets see. His dad was a Muslim- so by their thinking he is a Muslim. He was raised a Muslim, went to a Muslim school - as an adult ran around in the dress and hat they wear as well as pose for photos in it, and became a Christian when he went to work for acorn. He has referred to himself as a Muslim more than once. They say it was his wife who convinced him to run as a Christian. I can't even remember where I heard that- might be false.XXXX wrote:

4. He slips and refers to himself as a Muslim. ( I never Accidentally call myself a Jew )
again from above 1' The Muslim / Christian thing doesn't really bother me.XXXX wrote:
It must really bother you if he is Muslim. Goodness forbid a Muslim be the leader of the free world.
H/J wrote:
5. We weren't allowed to hear his Pastors sermons during the Election. ( we were Racist ! )
would you care if he is racist ? He lists Rev. White as a mentor, teacher and source of strength.XXXX wrote:
I don't really care.

would you speak like that face to face ? if not, Then avoid it here it tend s to make people look - feeble a best and hard to take serious and it sidelines the thread.Phrozenbot wrote:
lol, you new to the internet? I don't pretend to be tough behind a computer screen.
Ok sorry,Phrozenbot wrote:
Face to face about what? That I'm not arrogant and brutish? Uh... I guess. You clearly missed the point. If you mistook me as an internet tough guy, I was attempting to clarify that I'm not and I'll make more of an effort not to come off that way.

I don't believe in god myself, but I don't let it effect my personal relationships or my view of others. If they want to believe, fine, it doesn't have any impact on my life either way (until they start trying to legislate morality).
USM is using this as a way to justify the fact that he doesn't vote, as well as give himself a reason to feel superior to most other people.
