  • A very respectable position to take on religion. Too often one will end up demonizing religion when one should learn and understand it, as an expression of humanity.

    Still, I think if one is to remain a rationalist, they will have to keep a certain level of detachment.

    As has been said before, it shows an educated mind that allows one to entertain an idea without accepting it.

  • JESUS IS A MOTHERFUCKER

  • Fuck you oklahoma christians and your holy ghost your god is gay his spirit sucks tony romos dick on a plane every payday

  • Thanks for sharing this. Very interesting that he wouldn't put into audio quotes which could be played endlessly on Fox and affect his election. Barack could very well be a closet atheist, though he understandably could never reveal this fact and hope to be elected (though I would love to see this tested).

  • name one inteligent religious man... I'm waiting

    you want more "not intelligent" Christians?

  • @sephiroth70001 LOL. you have guts to say about isaac newton who lived in period when anyone who denied religion was killed instantly.. man.. NOBODY in history of our civilization was a genius and religious.. because that are opposite things.

  • @fraka899 what about everyone besides isaac newton? and yes there were who denied religion in his era. half of the people i listed are from out civilization.

  • To actually have an unbiased opinion, sects an people in and among themselves spread outward through the globe must first understand belief is a choice, not a fact. That person may believe their beliefs are fact, and feel it necessary to tell others their religion is wrong, but in doing they are no better than other person, religious, atheist or otherwise.

    Religion can be good, but it can get skewed quickly, just as any other aspect of life and choice can become grayed very quickly.

  • To understand their NWO,all of you should read this important book for free on internet.

    Who Is Esau-Edom..Who Is Esau-Edom

  • I wanna keep him for 4 more years. Hes about small government he only passed 2 bills.Bush was signing this and that and he even signed things that congress didn't pass breaking said law in our constitution. He was aloud to do this because the country was at WAR. See the pattern republicans have start a war to distract people then corner the money back to the rich. OBAMA IS SMALL GOVERNMENT WAKE UP!!!

  • One thing Obama does know is that religious tolerance is key. If you look and see the center of every religion is peace. Jesus, Mohammed, Krishna, Buddha and many other religious figures taught this. There is no problem with religion, but there is some problem with its followers.

  • I care little what President Obama's religion is. Let his actions speak, and if they are in error, do not elect him to a second term. I am not a fan of Obama, not because of whatever faith he has, or the color of his skin, but because I do not agree with his politics. Tell me that this is unfair or bigoted on my part, and I will laugh. American politics have become far too partisan. Where is the spirit of cooperation in these dark times?

  • And the day will come, when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as His Father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva, in the brain of Jupiter.Thomas Jefferson

  • Like his mom, Barack is apparently an atheist who is fond of Muslims. According to the LA Times, Barack prayed to Allah in the mosques of Djakarta with his Muslim stepdad Lolo Soetoro between ages 6-10. After that he apparently had no religious activities until joining Trinity in his twenties. Rev. Wright was formerly a Muslim and got his Masters degree in Islam.

  • After reading his thoughts on religion and his own religious experience, I realized he was playing it smart with respects to the game of politics. You have to show some form of Christian faith to win. If he came out and truly expressed his religious feelings, he would be cast to the roadside. It is nice to know someone is holding the White House and answers to the people and not that voice in the sky who answers to no one.

  • His mother seems like a sensible person who would never be a suicide bomber, butcher a child's genitals or seize another person's land claiming instruction from the creator of the universe.

  • Obama is to smart to be religious, and ur to stupid to be.

  • hmmm how many of christians know that in Islam that Jesus Christ, Moses and Muhhamed are all loved by us.

  • Wow. His mom sounds very wise

  • i knew he wasnt religious well done obama

  • Obama is clearly an ATheist or Agnostci he jut said he was Christian so people would vote for him ...... I nice having a president with common sense and no imaginary friends like George Bush..

  • If Obama is not an Atheist, I wish he was.

  • google Doe's Account. mindblowing.

  • Obama is a great man, and a rationalist. USA is going to grow out of superstitions like europe has.

  • @bary1234

    Obama is a tyrant. USA is going to renounce Obama and lead Europe back to reason. Europe needs to learn from America, not the other way around.

  • @herbs814 : What does Europe need to learn from USA?

  • @bary1234

    Europe needs to learn that all advancements in our standard of living comes from capitalism... and that government only gets in the way. that government regulation strangles the human spirit... that government must be limited in its size and scope and power in order to enable individuals and communities to be responsible and productive and just.

  • @herbs814 : Capitalism is creed. Creed and ambition are good driving forces, but they need to be controlled and supervised. You are wrong, if you think this through you´ll realise that.

  • @bary1234

    Private regulation, not government coercion, responsibly supervises ambition.

    Government is not the solution to our problems; Government IS the problem.

  • @bary1234

    Capitalism is JUSTICE. Capitalism does not need to be "controlled" because capitalism is 100% Good. Perfect capitalism is perfect virtue. There is nothing greater than capitalism. Any limitations on capitalism are necessarily evil.

  • I would only hope Obama is an atheist.

  • There are many relgions in the world. Catholic/Christianity is the backbone of the world. For agruements sake, say theirs no religion. Then nothings lost. But what if the appearence of the Blessed Mary in Fatima [before 70,000. people] is real? Can we afford not to listen to this message of destruction. She said her son, herself and followers are the redeemers. Without this religion SOULs are lost. Do you not think the War of Heaven and Hell exists? Do not be foolish with your soul. Lifes short

  • @GARYT1956 And you actually believe this? Christianity is a minority religion in the world. Christianity has failed the test of 2,000+ years and continues to loose ground; even in the US.

  • Means that you have to respect every religion in the world!

  • Someone who leads a country must be empathetic, and understanding of the situations of their people. Running a country like the United States, where (contrary to what many within the country like to believe), there is a massive percentage of population practicing all different forms of religion, I believe it is important for him to be removed from religious bias as much as possible. Sorry guys, but he can't take your side, because you're not the only religion he's representing, and that's a fact

  • atysays- I agrre with you. Religion is taught in schools. I would know because I go to school myself. They teach wrong things such as evolution, abortion, and there are many more things that I don't have the time to mention. God's gunna get us sometime. Just wait. btw, PUT THE PEACHIN ON OBAMAR!

  • The day after Barack's election, the evening Pick 3 lottery number in his home state of Illinois was 6-6-6.

  • wow!

  • HAHAHA where did u hear that. It's kinda funny. I never came across that in my research.

  • I hope Obama is faking being a Christian. I can't say I like his policies, but he doesn't seem completely retarded and religion is a fucking a cancer.

  • Religion should be taught in school-It should be explained as one of mankinds most flawed and abused superstitions that has now been harnessed as a marketing tool designed to control through fear and ignorance. It should be taught that Religion has killed countless people and still does daily- it has divided people,countries and the boundries between logic and fairytale. Science,Nature and Evolution come together and form the closest thing to God there will ever be or that has ever been," Amen."

  • Wow.. so Mr President what are you saying.. duh.. So his mom showed him around so he´ll be familiar with the symbols and signs of all these cultural ways! Crosses, half moons etc. Now tell me then.. why the F.... is it then that he and his previous colleges are making these twisted hand symbols and creepy handshakes. For if one of the previous mentioned religious, cultures streamings is not his own... which one is then.. his ,there, own. Mr President..

  • If Obama wasn't a Christian would he pick a Christian to be the US Surgeon General?

  • He wants to unite all religions, so it does not mean anything.

  • Would he have picked such an outspoken Christians to be head of the NIH?

  • Pray so you will not be deceived.

  • "Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

    Matthew 7:22-23

    Not everyone claiming to, or seeming to be Christian, is a true Christian.

  • You think that Obama has performed many miracles?

  • No. My point is, not everyone who says they are Christians actually are following Christ. I think I clarified that at the end of my last post.

  • That may be.

    However Obama if peoples words and action offer ant proof of what is going on inside of then Obama considers himself to be a Christian and if there is a God it's up to God to say if he is or isn't a Christian.

  • If Obama actually said all roads lead to God, then he is contradicting John 14:6. This should raise a red flag.

  • When and were did he say that?

  • His campaign speeches were all about unity. His slogan is hope. Religion gives people hope. Do the math.

  • A President would want unity and hope is a good thing.

  • You don't want any part of this.

  • What can I say?

    I like beating Dawkins atheist cult over the head with reality.

    And for many it is upsetting to be reminded that Obama isn't an atheist. The Question is why does it upset them?

    Is it that Obama's calling his father an atheist was for many "proof" that Obama was an atheist?

    Is it that Obama embraced Christianity as adult that they find so frightening?

    Or is it the concept of a person on the world stage who they admire being an active Christian just to much for them to bear?

  • I am not an atheist. I Believe Jesus is the ONLY Way to God, but Obama clearly does not.

  • @DigitalPraise7 I am an atheist and Obama is a Christian. He sat for years in front of that crazy pastor, that is Christianity; it wasn't a mosque. How about some critical thinking around here?

  • Also, listen to this video, Obama talks about how he was exposed to all religions. It seems very clear what he intends to do.

  • @DigitalPraise7 What would that be?

  • Comment removed

  • I wish I had his mom. I might not be a failure right now.

  • Obama was taught to treat religion as something that required no commitment, no sincerity, no depth of feeling.

    As Chesterton said, It's the first effect of not believing in God that you lose your common sense. He who does not believe in God will believe in anything......

  • @herbs814  how?

  • lol religion is the very definition of

    FAILURE

    stop bullshitting yourselfs fucking morons

  • keep your hopes up! maybe he's the anti-christ?

  • mom was a smart woman. maybe an undercover atheist in office!

  • You can partly understand why Obama and Oprah gets along after watching this.

  • who are you to in a very short video say what is in his heart? We simply do not know and I would say to people do not judge others in his way that is for God and only God to do.

  • A true Christian who loves the Lord with all hist heart, mind and strength, who has a personal relationship with Christ. would never promote a false god like he does in his book, a true christian would warn about the dangers of hell that await the people who don't know Christ as their Lord and Savior. A true Christian who has experienced true salvation would never encourage a person to seek another path when that path leads to eternal suffering.

  • He's NOT a true Christian THANK god!! Are you?

  • I have given my life to Christ. If anyone ever asked me how do I get to heaven? Who should I trust I believe I would tell them Jesus Christ the savior of the world. I know the Lord would not be happy if I took pleasure in saying that Barack Obama is a fake christian, so I will pray in hope that he is really is, so that he will be justified by Jesus and if he is not that he will find him one day. Just like I hope all of you will find him one day.

  • You'll never convince me and I'll NEVER convince you.....Boy oh BOY... are YOU gonna be PISSED when you find out the end ends with you in a box 6 feet under!

  • Never say never the thing is though if somehow you were right you gain nothing but if I'm right you lose everything. So you better be sure that I'm not right. I can still pray for you and I will. God Bless.

  • Hmmm.... Thinking here! Hold please.... YUP, I'm right! LOL Because a bazillion peopel band together and "SAY" thats the way.. you FELL for it! OOOPS!

  • What about the babies who don't know God. Do they go to limbo, or did the church get rid of that? Stop acting like you have all the answers. You don't know anymore than the church does, and the church doesn't know shit.

  • so fucking true everyone is entitled to an oppinion but oppinions shouldnt be stated as facts noone should be belittled just because they wont bow down and worship something that cant be proved real.

  • Comment removed

  • I am Christian, but you have a good point concerning the belief that precious babies would die and go to hell. Several "churches" follow doctrine that is actually man-made with no biblical foundation. Shall we mention the crusades, etc...? Anytime men and money get involved, things have a way of messing up.

  • If you are a Christian you are a follower of Jesus Christ and the Bible. You believe that faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to get into heaven because he is the only one that lived a perfect life and sacrificed himself for everyone on earth who are unholy and imperfect. I can say I am a vegeterian but if I eat meat I'm clearly not. He contradicts God's word all the time through his policies and speeches and is unrepentant about it.

  • The idea that obama may be an atheist fills me with hope. its nice to have a non delusional president who doesnt believe in magical ghosts in the sky that want him to bomb brown people. what anyone is afraid of when they think hes a musilim ,im afraid of to think hes any religion.

  • Yeah well dream on he's a Christian.

  • KUDOS!!!! Im SICK to death of all the religious JERKS!!!

  • Band of porks...

  • Interesting this video fails to mention Obama's mom's second husband.

    you know the one who was a Muslim?

    It also fails to mention how in his 20's Obama fell in love with Christianity.

  • yeah he was a Muslim...... & his name is Hussain.....

    so i heard his name is :

    Barack Hussain Obama

  • His name is Barack Hussain Obama II not because his pig of a father was religious but because he thought so highly of himself.

  • Woo! Barack knows what is up

  • Comment removed

  • Jesus is not real, I do not have imaginary friends.

    -Atheist

  • Comment removed

  • nice :)

  • her mother is very wise

  • He said in one of his speeches that his decision to become a Christian was just that- a decision. He didn't have a "vision", he didn't "fall out" in church. He saw it as a way to connect with people and unite communities. That's the best reason I can imagine to join a church, I'm just so glad our president doesn't listen to voices in his head like the last one did. What a relief.

  • lol obama was not raised as a muslim people!!

    nor was he raised as a christian!!!he's an atheist...nuff sed!

  • Its simple, seek for proof for all things or deny false facts about your book and go for blind faith.

  • Whatever his religious affiliation, the man supports a secular world view in politics and economics. Let's just leave it that way...

  • lets just say we are better off with him not thinking the earth is flat and that dinosaurs are 6,000 years old.

  • if obama said he was an atheist I bet he wouldn't have gotten the votes. He had to pretend to be a christian to be elected in a christian nation

  • agreed

  • I think deep down Obama is an atheist. He's just playing the game.

  • thank god obamas an atheist or actally they all are but he is strait about it which i think is great.

  • If you are truly a person who favors equality, this video would not have been made, for making it means you deem the topic relevant.

  • Please qualify that a bit. By publicizing something, I make it irrelevant? And what's equality got to do with it?

  • I'm saying that if you believe in equality for all people regardless of religion, you would view Obama's religion as irrelevant. Since you react positively to the idea that Obama is an atheist (he's not, by the way, that's just a right wing smear based on a few things he said not against religion but against conservatives), you obviously view it as relevant.

  • "equality for all people regardless of religion" is quite a bit different than the importance of the most powerful man in the world's view of the universe.

    GWB thought that he was "predestined" to become president, and routinely had "conversations" with god and Jesus.

    If you think that a person's world-view is "irrelevant" to public and foreign policy, then you don't understand how individuals make decisions.

  • Do you honestly think Bush thought that he had conversations with God? Or if you do believe that he thought that, that he would have been any better had he not.

  • "Equality" isn't as brain-deadeningly simple as you think it is.

    If a particular genetic line, only found within a particular 'race,' were found to be more prone to a certain kind of cancer, it would NOT be 'racist' to attempt to treat that line with their predisposition in mind.

    In fact, the very REASON those people would be treated with their special genes in mind, is that all people deserve equal, fair treatment.

  • wowie.

  • stupid cunt.

  • that was to pinkjojogirl2

  • good choice america

    good choice

  • I noted that he was speaking in past tense....specifically when he lived with his mother. That was an early period in his life.

    It has no bearing on his present religious convictions as a Christian at the age of 47.

  • Haha - THIS IS A POSITIVE THING!

  • ......what the hell is wrong with some of you ignorant fools.

  • What the hell is wrong with you? Do you understand the HARM of religion? Do you not understand that many of the problems of today are CAUSED because of religion? Do your research, then you can call non followers ignorant.

  • what type of question is that? that question for one is irrelevant. 2 if you wanna talk about christians. there are bad christians and there are good christians. there were christians who thought slavery was okay and some who thought it wasnt. so dont get into this debate acting like all christians are good.

  • There are good Christians and there are bad Christians, but the best Christians are the worst people.

  • calisunshine 2008, you spew out the most ignorant shit Ive ever heard. HIs real name was Barack dipshit. He went from Barry to Barack to signal his transformation from a boy to a man. Read up on your shit before u spout out the mouth. And what are you talking bout black supremacy? Because a pastor said that rich white people run this country? DUH! what are you dense? do you not know the history of slavery and jim crow? His pastor said everything that was true. N ur so damn arrogant to question

  • This only makes me like him more... thank god for a truely secular american president.

  • o my god thank you thank you for sending us a presedent who might be a little less likely to get our people killed if he dosn't beleve there going to heven.

  • someone elses faith. Who died and made u a decider on whos a true christian or not. U aint God bitch so stop acting like it. I swear u guys have no knowledge of anything these days. Black Supremacy? ha, stupid bitch theres no such thing as that and i defy u to show me any group that is a definition of that. Im done talking to a pathetic fool like you. Think before you talk muthafucka.

  • Do you think a Christian would allow himself to be referred to as, Messiah?

  • Hell yeah!! I knew it! Finally an intelligent president!

  • if he 'lied' about his christianity, that's a shame for America and his narrow-minded values. It's not the fault of the person trying to fit in.

  • wow..wat a loser...

  • Wow! who is this loser?

  • hahh it does look a bit like that, but i was sitting in my computer room, as I am now

  • I'm so fucking glad I voted for him.

  • cool a pres with a diverse background

    one that doesnt base his policies on the bible

    works for me!

  • He's agnostic NOW STFU

  • I agree with Barack Obama's mother!

  • my parents were not that open minded but i was taught to respect everyone's belief, religion aside, leads me to assume that Obama was raised in western society, probably in America

  • let's hope he's an atheist

  • holy crap, i hope not..

  • atheism/agnostic is the only rational world view. If you disagree you haven't fully examined the arguments.

  • no it definitely is! i understand.. but Christianity is not based on logic, its based on morals. atheism is based on logic and less moral boundaries. (not all the time, most of the time there are alot of moral beliefs in atheism..) and also, dont put atheism and agnostic in the same bunch.. they're very different..

  • Yes. Christianity is based on morals... BAD ONES. Self-pity Racism Sexism Bigotry Homophobia Tribalism Violence Credulity Infinite punishment for finite crimes and the list goes on There are no moral beliefs in atheism Atheism is not immoral, it is amoral. Atheism is not a belief system. It doesn't inform actions, it is simply a response to the "God Claim". It is a rejection or an absence of belief and nothing more.
  • You're right: atheism and agnosticism are the same. One is either an atheist or a theist. There is no "agnostic" middle ground as agnosticism is about what you know, not what you believe. You can be an agnostic atheist, or an agnostic theist (or gnostic as opposed to agnostic).

    Atheism is not based on logic.

    You can be an atheism and have batshit crazy beliefs like buddhism or some supernatural belief.

    *Skepticism*, which leads to atheism (or deism for some) or naturalism IS based on logic.

  • lol @ the blind tipping responses. makes u think he's the anti-christ just because the anti-christ is supposed to be popular. not that i care though. prophecy is prophecy and can't nobody stop it.

  • I heard Obama is the anti-christ, lol

  • Beautiful!

  • how better words can describe about The Absolute Truth than this.

  • word

  • obamas going to invoke white hatred you may laugh now but you wont be laughing when immagration rises and obama uses your tax dollars to give the africans america

  • huh lol

  • 85% of the blacks in american voted obama if 85% of the whites had voted mccain obama wouldnt be in office as it is your doomed

  • If McCain had been a better candidate maybe they would have. As a demographic, blacks have supported the Democratic party more than the GOP for as long as they've been able to vote, so why assume that any black who voted for Obama did so because of his race? Likewise, why would you expect white people to vote for McCain? Personally, I vote for the candidate whom I feel is most qualified, not the one whose skin happens to match mine.

    BTW, it's "you're doomed," not "your doomed."

  • obama lacks experience + this video proves that he is a liar because he claims to be a christian but maybe hes lying about being an atheist and is really a muslim I heard obama speaks arabic so who knows?

  • If you can watch this video and take away from it the idea that it's in any way plausible that he might be a muslim then you've clearly chosen rhetoric over reason, and there's nothing productive to be gained by appealing to your ability to apply rational thought. I wish you luck.
