I think it is ironic when Americans get so upset about non-american's expressing their opinion about our country. "So what do YOU know of how our country should be run? " Yet America has no problem telling others how their countries should be run.

[Brendan Young]

You're not even American, as you so openly stated yourself. So what do YOU know of how our country should be run? A. You have no right in telling ANYONE over here how our country should be run, or what good certain peoples' religion does, and B. You really have no jurisdiction to say anything, since you (again) do not live here; you know nothing of this nation. "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt" - Mark Twain

Actually an atheist politician usually is better than a religious one, at least he is wiser and he knows two hands working do more than a thousand praying

[Carlos Morgado Jr.]

So stupid... You americans give attention to what doesn't really matter at all. Your so beloved founding fathers made your country the first secular nation in the world, and yet you are the ones who give religion so much credit. I live in Europe and politicians here don't express their religion views and if they do it that doesn't make the difference, because the main goal here is to serve the country and do the job. Christian, Jew, Muslim, Hindu or Atheist. What's the point?

Unreal how bad the hypocrisy is. In this speech he bashes the Sermon on the Mount as if it is terricale radical.

[Rondale Holloway]

crazy how he says that he was running to be the U.S. senator of Illinois not the minister & they laugh. what he fails to realize is that in everything he does he should represent Christ. You can't be one way in church & another as a senator. Especially as a state senator & President you still have to uphold God's standards. Now this man is contradicting what he was so upset about someone saying about him. he is now saying same sex marriages and abortions are ok but claiming to be a CHRISTIAN!!

[Jetblackcrack]

That, I agree with.

[Lone Puma]

Jet_ Black_Crack, very interesting name, but I suppose it fits with your comment.

[Jetblackcrack]

This exactly how churches seem to me. Funny.

The President’s illustration of a man about to kill his son Abraham-style, and the reactions folks would have seeing such a thing take place in today’s world, is the best example of why a President must consider and protect freedom of beliefs for all citizens, unless such belief threatens the preservation of life. Otherwise we are just calling for anotheer sect war.

Christianity and facism: not good bedfellows.
