Nearly half of Americans (46%) are unable to correctly identify Barack Obama as a Christian including 13% who still maintain that he is a Muslim and another 16% who say they have heard different things about his religion. In addition, 11% say they donâ??????t know because they have not heard enough about Obamaâ??????s religion. The percentage of voters continuing to say that Obama is a Muslim is largely unchanged from June (12%) and March (10%), when the controversy over Obamaâ??????s former pastor at Chicagoâ??????s Trinity United Church of Christ was fresh in many peopleâ??????s minds. In the current survey, nearly one-in-five McCain supporters (19%) say that Obama is a Muslim, up from 14% in March. Fewer than one-in-ten Obama supporters (7%) identify him as a Muslim. More than three times as many white voters than African Americans see Obama as a Muslim (14% vs. 4%). Among white voters, 17% of those who have not completed college say Obama is a Muslim and 45% say he is a Christian. Among white college graduates, 7% say Obama is a Muslim while 69% say he is a Christian.

His church certainly didn't seem to be teaching Christianity. Or maybe I just missed the part in the Bible about US of KKK A, United States of White America, and the part where my pastor made sexual gestures during sermons.

"Eeeeeeeexcellent" *wrings hands gleefully*

I think you now have a face.

Yeah, from what I can tell from viewing videos of multiple sermons at that church, it is more about white-hate and self pity than Christianity.

I dont know too many people RAISED christian with a middle name like Hussain! but you can listen to his BS all you want. he goes with whatever is going to get him in the white house. he is not muslim he is christian, then he does not support the same views as the pastor. 20 years is a long time to go to a church where you do not believe in their views. i don't know i don't think i would spend 20 years anywhere if i did not agree. thats like saying someone was in the kkk for 20 years but doesn't agree with the kkk views. does that make any sense? he also changes his political views everytime they come into question. during the debate he still wouldn't give straight answers and when he did he was mostly "john is right" he is weak!!!! we need a president that will stand his ground no matter what!! and why does obama want to be friends with iran and all these countries? is he truly naive enough to believe he will be able to be friends with israel and iran? he is an idiot, highly educated idiot!!!

I really don't think names are as important as they once were.

When you have people naming their kids after cars or fruits or even a Stadium I really don't think it matters anymore.

Wasn't his mother a Christian?

 

[min0 lee]

You sound very angry.

 

[clemson357]

Considering how touchy people are about race in this country, I think there is reason to be angry. Minorities get mad if you use the word "they." "Whose 'they'?!? You think we are all the same, you can just group us together?"

Yet we are inches away from electing someone President who attended a church for 20 years that preaches hate against whites and the US government. I think people have room to be mad.

 

[min0 lee]

He will not get elected, trust me.

 

[mcguin]

Obama=socialism=poop

 

[AKIRA]

He will not get elected, trust me.

Now that deserves a question:

Why do you say that?

 

[soxmuscle]

When you have people naming their kids after cars or fruits or even a Stadium

...or after Mickey Mantle's number.

 

[soxmuscle]

He will not get elected, trust me.

I too am interested in your response to Akira's question.

 

[min0 lee]

I just don't think we're ready for a black President.

Maybe I am stuck in the past but I'm surprised there wasn't an attempt on his life yet.

...or after Mickey Mantle's number.

Seven?

I am sure someone will try IF hes elected.

It HAS to!
