"and Death to America!"

In a wide-ranging conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning author Marilynne Robinson, President Obama suggested that Christians who take their religion the most seriously often adopt an “us versus them” mentality. In the interview, published in the Nov. 5 issue of The New York Review of Books, the president lamented “the fact that here in the United States, sometimes Christian interpretation seems to posit an ‘us versus them,’ and those are sometimes the loudest voices. “But sometimes I think you also get frustrated with kind of the wishy-washy, more liberal versions where anything goes,” Mr. Obama said, referring to Ms. Robinson. “How do you reconcile the idea of faith being really important to you and you caring a lot about taking faith seriously with the fact that, at least in our democracy and our civic discourse, it seems as if folks who take religion the most seriously sometimes are also those who are suspicious of those not like them?” Ms. Robinson replied, “I mean, when people are turning in on themselves — and God knows, arming themselves and so on — against the imagined other, they’re not taking their Christianity seriously.” Ms. Robinson went on to say that “Christianity is profoundly counterintuitive — ‘Love thy neighbor as thyself’ — which I think properly understood means your neighbor is as worthy of love as you are, not that you’re actually going to be capable of this sort of superhuman feat. But you’re supposed to run against the grain. It’s supposed to be difficult. It’s supposed to be a challenge.”

Moslem projection.
How in the world would he know anything about Christians?
And muslims are soooo welcoming and friendly while they’re cutting off your head with a butcher knife...............
He is no Christian - in his heart, his mind, his soul and anything else but his b*tt in a racist black church pew.
Our grandparents would have already eliminated a problem/mistake such as this.
Obama is a master of protection.
additional evidence that Obama is not a Christian
Never was , never will be .
The son of a moslem father , the grandson of a moslem grandfather = a moslem
Just the facts ma’am
`Never mind ... it really doesn't matter ... you're more than a lame duck .... you act and talk like a dead duck that hasn't layed down yet ....
which is what scares us ...
you still have that damned pen
Seems like 0bama is confusing his religion with Christianity.
Obama has no good in him. None.
Complete nonsense.
"and Death to America!"
My hate for this pig grows exponentially day by day.
When you marry a muzzie, you give up whatever you are and the kid is a muzzie by birth...especially a boy.
I've yet to be persuaded that it's Christian church.
As a Christian myself, I know of no other Christians who think that way.

So are Yeshua and his daddy!
Get ready for the sulfur log Barbecue Obama!

But when Muslims act this way he just says it’s normal and they’re good people. What a psychopathic liar this guy is. Elect a new house Speaker that will shut him down and let nothing get done while we wait for a new President.
This guy talks way too much. The crap he does say is pure BS. I wish he would go back on vacation.
