Obama's faith is widely mistaken in Kentucky (do they think he's Christian?)

"I had a friend who said Obama is a Muslim because of his name," Johnson said. "I said McCain has an Irish name, but I think he's an American

Notice how McCain is not a hyphenated American. Does that mean it is code for white or mutt?

The white people who made up the Weather Underground ALSO espoused Black Liberation Nationalist rhetoric. Openly. Evne the Black Panthers questioned their support.

Even if he was born in the USA, what nationality was he when his family moved to Indonesia? What nationality of passport did he use to travel to Pakistan?

Obama’s mother was a proud athiest, and Obama attended Muslim schools as a child. He only joined a Christian church when he moved to Chicago to launch his political career, and that’s why he chose a big church with plenty of “networking” opportunies.

How stupid do you have to be to believe Hussein Obama is a Christian?

Marcia Froelke Coburn of ChicagoMag.com reveals the reason for the Ayers' children's names:
"For two radicals once living underground, Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn have raised three accomplished children: Zayd (named for a fallen Black Liberation soldier and colleague), 24, graduated from Brown University and has an M.F.A. degree in writing from Boston University, where he now teaches; Malik (for Malcolm X), 21, is attending the University of California at San Diego; and Chesa, 20, their adopted son, just finished his sophomore year at Yale University."

A little more than to believe he is a Muslim.

I just love how the press thinks there is a “correct” answer to this question.

In the first place, there are very real doubts as to whether Reverend Wright’s church deserves to be called “Christian” at all.

In the second place, we KNOW that Obama was a practicing Muslim in his youth, although he consistently lies about that, but we do not KNOW that he has ever left that faith or has ever been baptized as a Christian.

He says so? Well, he is a proven liar, time and again. I’ll believe it if he produces convincing evidence that he was baptized—witnesses, a baptismal certificate.

In the third place, Muslims all over the world love him, he belongs to a Muslim tribe and family, he has enabled (by campaigning for him and by giving him a million-dollars to pay his followers) a radical Communist/Muslim to conduct a campaign of church burning and violence in Kenya and force himself into the government, he has close connections with radical Muslims, Jew-haters, Black Muslims, and others of that kind.

In the fourth place, he clearly thinks of himself as the Messiah. And Louis Farrakhan has declared to his followers recently that Obama IS the Messiah. The video is on YouTube.

What does that mean? Christians have no tradition of such a Messiah—except for the False Messiah, the Anti-Christ. When Christ comes again it will be upon the clouds of glory, and unmistakeable. I think Ombama—like Farrakhan—means something more like the Twelfth Imam. He is the guy Ahmadinejad has been waiting for. He is the Mahdi.

If obama’s a Christian, Joan of Arc played second base for the Cleveland Indians!

Or his recent trip to Iraq and Germany.

We don't know any of that, nor if he attended college as a foreigner, who paid for it, who his classmates were nor can we see his thesis.

The first description of the poll said folks were asked to pick between Christian, Catholic, other, and not sure.

Then later it says many said he was muslim, so which is it? Was muslim a choice or not?

That is because Black Liberation Theology is closely liked to Islam. The Church welcomes Lois Farrakhan, Nation of Islam, so yeah, it is at the least, anti Christian.

Excerpt from The American Thinker
Article: Obama, Black Liberation Theology, and Karl Marx
May 28, 2008

Just one nugget from the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, "Instruction on Certain Aspects of the ‘Theology of Liberation': "...it would be illusory and dangerous to ignore the intimate bond which radically unites them (liberation theologies), and to accept elements of the marxist analysis without recognizing its connections with the (Marxist) ideology, or to enter into the practice of the class-struggle and of its marxist interpretation while failing to see the kind of totalitarian society to which this process slowly leads."
- (Author: Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger, Prefect, now Pope Benedict XVI; written in 1984)

Understanding that black liberation theology is Marxism dressed up to look like Christianity helps explain why there is no conflict between Cone's "Christianity" and Farrakhan's "Nation of Islam." They are two prophets in the same philosophical (Marxist) pod, merely using different religions as backdrops for their black-power aims.

Agreed.
That sociopathic, crack-smoking homosexual street-thug couldn't possibly be anything but an athiest.
The world is all about him.

0bama’s church does not preach a “traditional” Christian message, but one of Black Nationalism and “Liberation Theology.”

_________

Which makes him an apostate Christian, and a religious Marxist. His use of religious principles (faith, hope, change) as vital tenents of his political campaign is a takeover of religion by politics.
Obama’s politics are not informed by his religion, rather, his religion is defined by his politics. This is the ultimate expression of the divinity of the state leader. He is, by his own words, the One we have been waiting for, the Messiah.

Pretty funny poll. I wonder how many self-identified Republicans say "Muslim" as a joke. And too, not that there's no reason to doubt Obama. After all, he mentioned his Muslim faith in a nationally televised interview, and for some reason, 4% of self-identified Democrats think he is a Muslim.
