President Barack Obama is not expected to go to church during Christmas. The president rarely attends worship services, preferring to read scripture and pray in private, according to Politico. Those familiar with his Christian faith say he does not go to church regularly partly because he does not want to disrupt the experiences of regular parishioners and that the Obama family prefers to use Sundays to bond and for downtime.

"The president's faith has deepened in the second term; he's said as much," said Joshua DuBois, who headed the Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships during Obama's first term. Church-going has not been part of Obama's routine since he became president and left Chicago's Trinity United Church of Christ and its pastor emeritus Jeremiah Wright...

Matthew 7:21 - Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them , I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity...

Obummer going to church is like Satan going to church. They both never attend and believe in the same things. See Satan was an angel at one time but fell away from God and when falling away he took a great deal of other angels with him. he promised many things and was unable to deliver. He resorted to deception, cheating, fraud and manipulation to get his way. Sounds familiar does it not.

I have a feeling that this man will continue mocking us until long after he leaves office.

“Read the Scriptures and pray privately”

Translation: Read the Koran and kneel facing Mecca.

If you call one drop of water on a dry, cracked, scorched earth “deeper” then ok. Otherwise no sale.

You know them by their fruits.

Clinton carrying that big fat family Bible was more believable.

When Glenn Beck busted Jim Wallis:

The details are even more interesting:”another $100,000 grant to Sojourners “to support the Christians for Comprehensive Immigration Reform campaign.”

And in answer to your question: Yes it sounds familiar. You pretty much said it all.

Like inspiring racial unrest and the execution of two NYPD officers.

Oh yes the great Jim Wallis — modern day Judas.

Saying Obama has deepened in the Christian faith is like saying Kim Jong-Un has grown in his commitment to human rights and democracy.

I agree. Spin and posturing at the very least, but more likely just outright lies.

Whether nominally a Muslim or a Christian, his fundamental belief system is that of a sociopathic narcissist, and as such he alone is the only being in the entire universe, and is ultimately his own God as well.

Why should he go to church?

He can worship himself wherever he is.

His faith has deepened a hundred times. Because a hundred times zero is still zero.
