Barack Obama: My Pro-Abortion Position Doesn't Make Me Less Christian
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Senator Barack Obama spoke at Hocking College in Ohio on Sunday and continued to peddle the message that his pro-abortion position isn't at odds with Biblical values. He said his view that abortions should be legal without any limits and funded with taxpayer dollars does not make him "less Christian." Obama has come under strong condemnation from pro-life groups because he not only supports abortion but has repeatedly attempted to justify it as compatible with Christian views. "I think that the bottom line is that in the end, I think women, in consultation with their pastors, and their doctors, and their family, are in a better position to make these decisions than some bureaucrat in Washington," Obama said. "That's my view." "Again, I respect people who may disagree, but I certainly don't think it makes me less Christian. Okay," the Democratic presidential candidate added. However, leading Catholic writer Deal Hudson says he has no trouble calling Obama an "anti-Catholic" presidential candidate because of his pro-abortion views. "It's hard to disagree when Obama has a 100 percent pro-abortion rating from NARAL, supports partial-birth abortion, supports spending tax dollars for abortion, [and] voted against notifying parents of minors seeking out-of-state abortions," he said.

Obama: Individual salvation depends on collective salvation
It's a phrase he's mentioned a few times, but could explain much of why the President is jamming a Marxist agenda down the throats of Americans. He believes in collective salvation, and that's an idea straight out of the Jeremiah Wright playbook. Remember, Obama credits Jeremiah Wright with bringing him to faith. Glenn explains more about this ideology that is directly at odds with traditional Christianity. Ref. Source 8
White House says Obama is Christian, prays daily
A new poll showed that nearly one in five people, or 18 percent, believe Obama is Muslim. That was up from 11 percent who said so in March 2009. The survey also showed that just 34 percent said Obama is Christian, down from 48 percent who said so last year. The largest share of people, 43 percent, said they don't know his religion. Ref.

Gibbs: Obama is mainstream Christian
The wordsmith Robert Gibbs answered a question from 'journalist' Bill Press about Obama's Christianity. Gibbs can't fathom where the idea of Obama not being a mainstream Christian could possibly come from (Jeremiah Wright?). Check out the audio from radio today. Ref. Source 4
Obama's faith history still confuses Americans
Obama proceeded to recite the opening lines of the Muslim call to prayer in Arabic, with what Nicholas D. Kristof called a "first-rate accent." Obama described this chant as "one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset." Ref. Source 9
"endowed with certain inalienable rights..."
President Obama finally decided it was high time to go to church, perhaps feeling the heat after his personal PR firm (Newsweek) said he needed to go to church if for nothing else as a political prop. Just days earlier, Obama foreshadowed this spiritual resurgence when he recited the Declaration of Independence and actually left out "Creator" from one of the most famous lines in all of history. Glenn has more on the new, spiritual Obama on radio today. Ref. Source 9
Looking at that last article got me thinking.
There is a good portion of the Christian bible which isn't taught. Why? Well I've heard many people claim that the 'Old testament' isn't what Christians learn, and that it's for Judaism. Well okay, but I'm sure if you took that completely out, the religion would be missing the entire forming of the earth and the creation of life. No, it's taken out because our social constructs have changed significantly to not only be more egalitarian between genders, but also (The social construct of)race, and religion.
However, albeit society has became more equal, people seem to be offended when you take that line and remove any god reference so that it more equally represents the people which it governs.
