I can’t help it but it makes me laugh a bit when around 2:35 he talks about prioritizing resourses. People clap and when he says “I also think we should give them imformation” and the clapping stops like to a wall.
It should be pointed out that the reason Christians have done so much throughout history is that for large portions of it, being an atheist was punishable by death.
I don’t agree with everything our president elect has said about religion, but it is a far cry from the religious right, and that is a good thing.
hahaha i like how in the first part obama says how faith and politics are hand in hand, and in this part he says how great the seperation of church and state is…
but nobody wants to call the BLACK man out on that eh
I am NOT voting for Barack because I know he does not supprt putting supreme court justices in that will overturn Rowe V Wade, but I gotta say he is not as evil is I was made to think. Neither him or McCain are by any means evil and I think that ALL of us need to understand that, and that goes for Bush to. You may not like his politics but the man is NOT evil,dont believe the hype and the political pundits vote for what you believe and not the way you are told, I hope you vote for MCCain though!
“That I am not a member of any Christian church is true; but I have never denied the truth of the Scriptures; and I have never spoken with intentional disrespect of religion in general, or of any denomination of Christians in particular….I do not think I could myself be brought to support a man for office whom I knew to be an open enemy of, or scoffer at, religion.” [July 31, 1846} Lincoln’s own words.
As an Illinoisan I am somewhat disappointed that he could be so wrong about Lincoln, though. Lincoln could not have been anything further from a Christian, as his own widow attested.

If religion is so important to Americans then why not make the pope president?

I will be voting for Obama and I’m very glad to hear him talk about his Christian beliefs.

Here are some more of Lincoln’s own words:
“The Bible is not my book and Christianity is not my religion. I could never give assent to the long complicated statements of Christian dogma.”
May he rest in peace.
