  • HE SEEMS TO BE SINCERE

  • this is serious

  • oscar on its way ;]

  • fuck god

  • @Schnitzelfreaks  fuck u too

  • Good report.

  • God Bless You

    Steven Pasaporte Garcia

  • Joshua Dubois on the National Prayer Breakfast: "Basically, it's a time for people of all different faiths and backgrounds [...]". No, it isn't. It excludes millions of Americans with a non-religious background and secular worldview. Change this day into "National Community Action Breakfast" or "National Ethical Reflection Breakfast". Only then will you be all-inclusive. Just a (free)thought.

  • Is it love & respect to kill an innocent & defenseless baby in the womb... Whoops. I forgot, Barry Sotero thinks that it's OK to kill a baby that survives an attempted murder by abortion.Want common ground, how about those of the founding Fathers,"ALL men are created equal and endowed by their creator with a right to LIFE"! Heart for the Constitution? He usurped the Constitution & took over the Oval Office without being a natural born US Citizen as the Constitution demands.

  • "Legitimizing religion" ?

    sounds like a take over of confusion

  • If faith based organizations accept this "help" from the government will they then be obliged to do whatever the government tells them? Will they be treated like the banks who got bail-outs? Will Obama be the one who decides who heads these organizations? Like he did with GM?

    Faith based organizations have been helping people for years without government assistance. Involving the government in this will ruin it.

  • May Allah help you Mr President and guide you to what is good for all mankind

  • Just concentrate on your own ideals and beliefs...Everyone has their own perspective and creates their own reality...an athiest is just as valid as a theist in their beliefs...Just love yourself and love others!

  • God is a Myth

  • @ 1:19 We don't need religion or faith in mythological characters in order to do any of this.

  • I completely agree with you, but it's the fact that people just don't realize that truth. Instead they remain living their lives in fear and to help themselves (for what they think) they need things like "faith" to gain confidence. Bunch of fools, we help others by getting out there and taking the step, not to kneel in a building and put your hands together.........

  • You fail to understand what Obama is doing.

  • Legitimizing religion?

  • Religion was legitimized God knows how many thousands of years ago so no that's not what he's doing.

  • lol, I meant further legitimizing it, as in endorsing it further.

  • Comment removed

  • Obama would have no need to do that so no that's not what he's doing.

  • lol watch Hillary shake her head at 1:35

  • YOUTUBE/YAHOO NEW WORLD ORDER!!

  • President Obama, your speech about faith is remarkable to US, where we share a common ground! God Bless you.

  • It is awsome to have a President that does more than believes in God more than h believes he needs to cater to the religious right.

  • thats ridiculous, you dont need to be a repub to be deeply religiously.

  • I agree.

    Bush though felt the need to cater to the religious right.

  • Get a life and quit talking out of your ASS Mr President Bareback Osama!!

  • Obama has a life he's your President.

  • And hes also working twords a new world order! research it! obama lover!!!

  • Comment removed

  • For such a "powerful group" the Illuminati sure are taking their sweet time for such unclear gains.

  • for someone who watches dragon ball z & jamie foxx, didnt no you would spend so much time being brainwashed by freaks online. just to let you know those same freaks thinks the holocaust is fake & that bush is an alien.

  • Hey buddy, you see those " " around the words "powerful group" and my pointing out a serious flaw in his conspiratorial thinking by way of seeming to agree with the poster- those are signs of my being sarcastic. You would know that if you understood English usage well enough to know the difference between 'know' and 'no'. If you would like, I can explain the way sarcasm works for you step-by-step.

  • They have clear 100% gains!! were just shut out behind controlled tv, media, radio, talk shows and are only told what they want us to no!!

  • So they're nigh-omnipotent as it is then? Why bother with... whatever dastardly scheme you think they're bothering with.

  • cause theres a million of them and a billion of us!! Use your brain!!

  • Go watch The Obama Deception on ChangeDaChannel's YouTube channel, then tell me what you think about Obama.

  • "A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side."

    Aristotle - 343 B.C.

    "Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful.

    -- Seneca the Younger(4 BC - AD 65)

  • "Religion flourishes in greater purity without than with the aid of government."

    - James Madison

    "The clergy, by getting themselves established by law and ingrafted into the machine of government, have been a very formidable engine against the civil and religious rights of man."

    - Thomas Jefferson

  • "I shall need, too, the favor of that Being in whose hands we are, who led our fathers, as Israel of old, from their native land and planted them in a country flowing with all the necessaries and comforts of life...." - Thomas Jefferson

  • i voted this 5 star. I BELIEVE IN Faith. BLAME ME AND THE MAJORITY OF MOST OF ALL AMERICA, FOR OUR 44th President. haha.

    LOL.

  • Non-religious folks, please note that Obama has made some important changes to Bush's original initiative. Funding will be offered equally to faith-based and secular ("neighborhood") organizations. Also, these groups will not be able to proselytize, or discriminate against anyone who wants to work for them.

    Thank you Obama for seeing that secular organizations have as much to offer the community as faith-based groups!

  • I like you Obama but ya know, you don't need "faith" (is belief in something without adequate proof) to do good in the world. Its completely unrelated. I know you are trying to make things better for tax payers, thank you, but please don't waste a penny of my tax money of "faith". I don't support it and neither does a HUGE percent of the USA population.

  • If he follows the "work as if everything depended on you" part of his St Augustine quote then faith will have no bearing on his presidency anyway.

  • he is the messiah

  • GOD BLESS THE USA!!!!!!!!

  • One thing I agree with him about is God is real! Amazed he actually had a prayer breakfast and actually said God Bless America, didn't think he had it in him....guess you learn something new everyday! ; )

  • You didn't know he was lying? Dude, his lips were moving :P

  • I thought Obama wanted to get away from last eight years of failed politics, then he pulled this shit.

  • The First Amendment has a dual aspect. It not only "forestalls compulsion by law of the acceptance of any creed or the practice of any form of worship" but also "safeguards the free exercise of the chosen form of religion." The First Amendment was a safe-guard so that the State can have no jurisdiction over the Church. Its purpose was to protect the Church, not to disestablish it.

  • good i hope this pissed ALL the atheists off!....LOL!

  • no it didn't, I respect church's and temples are community centers in many places, how ever arbitrary the belief it is organized around is, the place gets the job done and that's all that matters to this vile nonbeliever.

  • and why do we care about christ-cheerleaders?

  • I applaud President Obama for his support for faith based initiatives. Religious groups can play a role in helping to create a more compassionate and decent society.

  • Our Constitution requires a division of Church and State, BUT, Republicans have ALWAYS based and rationalized political decisions on a "religious foundation." Their Bad. Change is THE ONLY thing we can count on in life. Check out nature...I'm all about WHAT ARE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US DOING ON A DAILY BASIS (no matter our backgrounds) TO MAKE OUR COUNTRY THE BEST ON THE PLANET? JUST DO IT! (...thank you, Nike...LOL!)

  • Faith and hope are flaws that lead to nothing. Change is knowing something is going to get done. Running on change while praising hope and faith is a flaw.

  • The funny thing is that Eisenhower was so apathetic about religion that after he was elected he asked his advisors to pick a denomination for him.

  • Source?

  • grazon - I think I heard it on a documentary called "A History of Disbelief".

  • Assuming that it's true that he let his advisors to pick a denomination for him there are devote Christians that don't feel attached to any particular denomination.

  • 2:29 what about the doctors, nurses, babies, the sick and the Christian hospitals that will be affected by the F.O.C.A.? will you help them Mr. President?

  • Too bad this entire initiative is a violation of the separation of church and state.

  • And where does that phrase show up in the constitution?

    Answer: it doesn't.

  • 1st Amendment establishment Clause the government can not promote religion, to be interpreted as it can not promote one religion over another or religion of non-religion. The founding fathers believed that religion was not the business of the state. Having this ceremony and that faith-based office is a clear promotion of religion over non-religion. Just as a christians tax dollars should not go to a mosque, neither should an atheist's go to a religious establishment.

  • The first Amendment reads in full:

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

  • thank you for proving my point. Free exercise does not require our government to engage in religious rituals and to fund religious groups. I don't see how any rational person can look at this video and believe that this is not in conflict with the constitution. Then again most people who favor these initiatives bear allegiance to the bible more strongly than the constitution, which explains why they deny the unconstitutionality of this blatantly unconstitutional act.

  • haha tough shit.

  • You think charities run on nothing but love?

    face facts they all require money and that's what Obama is helping them with.

  • It's a principle that appears in the First Amendment.

    Show me the PHRASE "fair trial" in the Constitution? Not there? So does that mean the PRINCIPLE isn't in the Constitution?  Jackass.

  • If you want to lose the right to a fair trial that's your misfortune.

  • Comment removed

  • I just have my concerns about the U.S. using religious organizations to do work for our government. That can open flood gates for some religions to pry there way into and secure itself into our government. Religious communities are GREAT and I cannot stress that enough. Religious politics can lead a pandoras box. So grazon, my question to you is: Do you always flame people who have opposing views? or is it that you were to caught up in prior fights to realize that I was trying voice my opinion?

  • well put grazon. my intent was no to bash any religion or say one is better then the other. The phrase seration from chuch and state was coined off of the 1st amendment. "freedom of religious worship" is in the first amendment. Keyword is "of" and it brings dual meaning to the sentance. Both granting liberty to practice whatever religion you want to and and the same note it also means it will not be forced upon me, as well. My point is on the next comment...

  • I thought I liked Obama. But more and more I think about things like this topic, where is the US going? What about seperation from church and state? I am happy for religious people doing great things who have changed and helped so many people. But why is the goverment trying to get involved with what religious communities are doing? Why not go with Buddhists and say we need stop listening to the noise and see what the sound of one hand clapping really sounds like. This REALLY concerns me...

  • 1) Seperation from church and state is to be found no where in our founding documents.

    2) The Paris Hilton's of the world never give half as much as they should.

    3) Because the Buddhists are helping hand out food.

  • Tyranny comes to your door in a uniform, romans 13 was hitlers favorite passage and used it well....

  • "Allah" is Arabic for "God" and is used by Arabic people of even Jewish and Christian faiths. All three religions worship the same God. Do, please, educate yourself.

  • 1. the rothschilds own your government. whoever takes the seat of president, they are owned 2. the rothschilds lend your government the bailout money. 3. your government pays the bulk of the bailout loan to banks...that are owned by the rothschilds. 4. you pay back the loan with your taxes via your rothschilds owned government back to the rothschilds. ...what do you not understand? why do you argue amongst yourself about trivia? rothschilds ARE the NWO. we have only one common enemy.

  • Did Elvis tell you this?

  • the magdalene family office did. do you know them? do you think what i say is fiction? this is not for people to believe, this is something for people to know. also, you might like to know that the 'dr king' spent his last night alive beating a prostitute he acquired for an evenings abuse. didnt want to be the one to tell you..but since you were so witty ...

  • Let me guess you think Obama is part of a bloodline conspiracy?

  • obama is 13th cousin once removed from george bush. you tell me if they are part of the same bloodline, these royal bloodlines go back to the eygptian pharoes. do some fun research and open your mind.

  • Through what side of Obama's family does this oligarch bloodline go?

  • id say it was through he mother that he was related to the bushes no? obamas father being kenyan etc...

  • Obama's maternal grandmother grew up in Augusta, Kansas a town with a population of 8,423.

  • and that means what exactly? you might want to research who her family tree even? do some detective work. google obama bush cousin

  • One of the funny things about the powerful is they almost always like to be with their own.

    She also went to a public school.

  • End game is here. Checkmate around the corner. They have just played the bishops. Blackwater are the new Knights. The Obama pawns are the new flock. Rooks? what are they? Even the name, rook, has a dubious origin.

  • Don't follow your preacher into servitude to a corrupt govt. Don't give in to tyranny! Fight it!

  • The Dumb Downed Christians strike's again, When will the Christian thirst for blood and rule be quenched?.

    Christians are a true evil just look at what they do.

    Killing murdering people all around the world to say HEY MOTHER FUCKER THIS IS GOD AND YOU WILL LIKE IT

  • I don't recall Doctor King being much for bloodshed.

  • "The purpose of separation of church and state is to keep forever from these shores the ceaseless strife that has soaked the soil of Europe in blood for centuries." - James Madison

    "Religion flourishes in greater purity without than with the aid of government."

    - James Madison

  • "A tyrant must put on the appearance of uncommon devotion to religion. Subjects are less apprehensive of illegal treatment from a ruler whom they consider god-fearing and pious. On the other hand, they do less easily move against him, believing that he has the gods on his side." Aristotle - 343 B.C.

  • Obamas Office of Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships has nothing to do with jobs or climate change. It is simply another heavy-handed effort to insert the federal government in the lives of the American people.

  • THIS MAN IS PISSING ON OUR CONSTITUTION!! The People need to rise up!!

  • You're an army of one, and a cub scout pack could take you out.

  • This is NOT respectfull of the Constitution!

    The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: Im from the government and Im here to help.

    LEAVE US ALONE.

    RESPECT THE CONSTITUTION

    btw: We aren't turning in our guns because you have some minister tell us to. FORGET IT!

  • No ones going to take away your squirt pistol.

  • Yeah- guns rock!

  • be at ease, you dont have to warn anyone of anything, no one is going to hell. Neither christ nor god told you to go out and warn people. Some book written by men, and an institution built around guilt did. Everything is the way it is b/c god lets it be so each and every soul can learn something while on this short trip.

  • Try not to act based on "against paradigm", live the life inline with what you "for". Ask your self what you for, I feel that you have an open heart, develop this attitude, dont live "i am against" live "i am for" and show what for you are. If you against something it will gain power thru your attitude. If you live "I am for" this will develop more and more in you life and in lives people around you. Peace.

  • Ronald Reagan may have betrayed the ideals of liberty and small government he claimed to profess, but he did say something that is particularly relevant to Obamas latest effort to have the feds meddle in our lives: The nine most terrifying words in the English language are: Im from the government and Im here to help.

    Faith-Based and Unconstitutional

    Mr. DuBois is apparently unaware of what the father of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, James Madison, had to say about such efforts.

  • ewffacess, before taking any action feel to youself from where this action comes from? Within you, and only act from calm and peacefull state. Do not be motivated by fear, this will not bring ANYTHING good to you and to your closest people. Look for peace and calmness in any way you know and if dont know look for people how do know they will help you, but do not produce fears in any way. If you are saying you are christian then you remeber God is Love, and fear is opposite to Love. Look for Love

  • Mr. DuBois is apparently unaware of what the father of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, James Madison, had to say about such efforts.

  • Wow some people need to calm down and do a little research. For one, this was started by Clinton not Bush. Two, there is no violation of the first amendment as long as the money goes towards secular programs. He seems to be one of the least religious presidents weve had and I think were doing him a disservice by jumping the gun here.

    It seems hes the only one so far thats willing to admit we atheists even exist.

  • Actually, you have the first amendment and separation of church and state to thank for that.

    I always find it amusing when one religious person judges another persons religion like their religion is better or somehow less ridiculous.

  • "I should have killed that muslim ? No, God will... and hey... I am not always in front of my screen. "

    I bet you go to church every Sunday and think you're a perfect Christian. With comments like that you're not even close.

  • With that kind of retarded, intolerant, bigoted, and insane rhetoric, saying you're christian is superfluous.

  • why is this video not i HD

  • ewffaces - you're so quiet now, awe...did I hurt your feelings?

  • ewffaces!!!! Stop shitting on my new floors! I'll make you an outside dog, I'll do it!

  • You're my bitch. Sit! Roll over! Kneel.

  • Bring it retard. I'll expose you for the uneducated, backwards thinking half-wit that you are.

  • ewffaces -Coward.

  • god is the collective minds of individual people,not anything else.religion separates us from nature and others.

  • This is a slap on the face to all atheists, agnostics, and other nonreligious people (making up some 15% of the population) in the US, not to mention it's also a slap on the face to science, reason, and the enlightenment values which have carried us so far.

  • Church =/= State Please

    This office smells of little accountability and of being unconstitutional.

  • Leo Wolf Comedy is opening the world's first true Christian Car Dealership!

    Come in today, and buy a new car! We'll pray about it. The you pay for the car, however you don't get to drive it until after you are dead. But imagine the fun you will have then! Praise be!

    How many can I put you down for??? Who wants to be caught in heaven without a car?

  • He says faith has always been a guiding force in his life. Faith in what? Faith in the effectiveness of government propaganda and it's ability to dumb down the public into servile peons that will witness the largest bankster rip-off in history and sit back and take it??? That's a lot of faith. Strong faith.

  • True religion is a matter of personal spiritual experience, it is inevitable that each individual religionist must have his own and personal interpretation of the realization of that spiritual experience. Let the term faith stand for the individual's relation to God rather than for the creedal formulation of what some group of mortals have been able to agree upon as a common religious attitude. Have you faith? Then have it to yourself.

  • Also, calling someone that you do not even know 'stupid' is hardly Christ-like. Learn from your master, Jesus, and try harder to actually emulate him. That is the Christian goal, is it not?

  • You're very rude, and it seems as if you're trying to show that you're somewhat intelligent (just my assumption, if you're acting like a cunt just to act like a cunt I apologize), either way, none of the users here did anything to you, I don't see why you feel the need to try to abuse people through the internet.

  • I'll be nice. You seem decent so I apologize for my rudeness.

    I am a verbal pit-bull, blame god for my existence.

  • Do you have an actual argument to present to me or just low brow insults? What is your point or angle? Yes, religion is non-sense. I believe that. I can break it down for you if you wish. Debating is my one true talent so come prepared or just shut your mouth.

    I checked out your page. I love how you view atheism and Islam as equal threats. Pathetic and paranoid. Atheists are similar to the homosexuals in that we simply wish that you religious wack-jobs would just butt out of our lives.

  • hahaha

    "It's the end times, remember ?"

    you guys have been saying that for years and years, during the great depression, WW1, WW2, hitler, Cold war, Vietnam, 1994, 2000, 2004, what is next 2012?

    shit, how many times have you guys been wrong?

    aren't you too old to believe in fairy tales?

    anyways you probably think harry potter is real as well, so I won't argue with you . XD

  • Jesus Rocks and he will kill all socialist muslim terrorists!!!!

  • Jrunri, you are sick zionist terrorist, Jesus doesn't kill Muslims, idiot, but he will punish sick subhuman like you.

  • Please, please, please, keep religion out of our politics.

  • "Pray as though everything depended on God and work as though everything depend on you." St. Augstine .....Amen.

  • Keep your silly faiths to yourself. It's all sun saturn and sex worship.

  • "faith"??? since when having faith is something good?

    stupid retards.

  • well technically atheism is a faith in not believing in divinity/ deities...so every human has a faith, even atheists, right?

  • Dude, that is completely wrong, it doesn't even make sense.

    atheism is not a religion, we don't believe in your imaginary friends not because of faith but because of the LACK OF EVIDENCE.

    Religious faith is just plain stupid.

  • Reason is the proof of science, faith the proof of religion, logic the proof of philosophy, but revelation is validated only by human experience. Science yields knowledge; religion yields happiness; philosophy yields unity; revelation confirms the experiential harmony of this triune approach to universal reality.

  • Faith is not proof or evidence of anything. Faith is a horrible excuse for actual evidence.

  • this is your faith, that proofs your reality "excuse for actual evidence". You have made choice to believe like this, and nothing wrong with this, it is just like this. that's it. But after all, it is what one believes rather than what one knows that determines conduct and dominates personal performances.

  • good to see the atheists speaking up!

    it is an embarassing thing, i have friends that are "religious", but everytime i ask to talk about god they shy away..if you believe in god why would you not want to talk about it?! this happens with a lot of people i know! "god dam it!"

  • Ask me whatever you want to about God.

  • either way whether you're pro or against the idea of God i don't really want to talk about it as it's not really that important its like Evolution vs Creationism....there is not REAL debate....Scientific evidence/proof/calcs/people hungry for the truth vs ignorant people/stupid/narrow minded e.g. creatiionists (especially the ones that call themselves "Dr" when they are not as they're lame and then end up in jail for fraud if you know the man i speak of, anywho, watever

  • You said your friends get shy about their faith whenever you ask them questions.

    I'm willing to answer your questions about religion to the best of my ability.

    FTR on matters of God I respect the opinion of Doctor Francis Collins (and I assure you he deserves to be called a doctor.)

  • What drugs are you taking, dude?!

  • you must be a really bad person if you need Jesus to be good.

  • No you don't, but Jesus is an inspiration...kinda like how people will look up to actors, athletes, parents/ family, and other great people. Its just a way of life, like many others

  • people need to quit looking for external role models and start looking within themselves.

    Its alright to believe in god or Jesus but using that belief to make policy choices is foolish.

  • In American legal affairs your motive may be faith but your logic should be secular.

  • Unfortunately if you are motivated by faith then your logic will also be motivated by faith, but then again even secularists are filled with faith so its all the same no matter what side of the 'dead Jesus' you are on.

  • You can be motivated by faith to find secular justification.

    And if the justification isn't therr it's your duty not to persue the matter least not in a legal context.

  • Im not muslim. I am christian. O_o

  • You don't need religion to help people in need.

  • no u don't, but it is an inspiration to help people, like there are other inspirations. Actors and movies and journalists can help to motivate people to help those in need. Religion can, if used and taught the right way, is the same way, a motivation to help

  • Don't try to reason with him.

  • Mr. President, I agree with you plans, your attitude and your reforms. That is, except this one. I know you have a deep faith in God, I respect that, but could you respect my beliefs as well, and lead a secular presidential office. I am not asking you to give up your religion, all I am asking is to run the country without your religion. I do respect your rationality in scientific areas and progress, but respect the first amendment as well. It has been butchered enough the last eight years.

  • This is a reason why I don't like Obama.

  • I still like him but I agree with you.

    I was very disappointed when I read in The Audacity Of Hope that he believed in a PUBLIC role of religion in government and policy, he definitely has a problem with secularism :(

    Is he going to call intelligent design a scientific theory next?

  • I hope he doesn't call "intelligent" design scientific.

  • but it is scientific!!!

    r u dumb, or what?

  • Are you for real?

    If you are just joking, you are not funny at all, and if you are serious, then you are a fucking moron.

  • if this that, and if that this!

    what IF i stick my scientific evidence up your ass..

  • You are a worthless excuse for a human being.

  • why?

    cause i can stick something up your ass?

    fuck off, you idiot!

  • You have nothing mature or interesting to say.

  • Look at Mr. Mature talking!!!!

    My dick up your ass is enough mature as it can get!

    Go and play intellectual asshole with the bitch that gave birth to you!
