There are no delegates for the Democrats in Florida.

wow, this is great to hear his personal story of becoming a Christian. It's nice to see a Democrat who is not afraid of faith and religion. It's also nice to know that the Religious Right's monopoly on Christian/value voters is over, so maybe we'll see some Christians (yes, even Evangelicals) supporting a non-Rebublican this time.

What a wonderful and sincere sounding testimony. I am inspired!

Faith is the anchor for beliefs just as moral philosophy is anchor for morality.

They are the same. Both are the convictions for conducting oneself according to principle instead of expediency.

religion should never govern the state, the state should never govern religion.

Would it really matter if he were muslim?

To me,no.But of course I'm too young to be ignorent enough to think it matters.

Obama is on my list of candidates for choosing.Even though I'm too young to vote...

But still,I see a bright furure for america if he becomes president.

I don't think he's trying to say (like Romney did in his "I'm a Mormon" speech) that you can't have morals without religion. He was raised by a secular humanist, like myself, and didn't adhere to any religion until his 20's. He's a great example of how a child can be raised without religion and become an upstanding citizen and hold high moral standards. So I really don't think he would ever make that argument, he would back up his mother on that one.

[ravenouspanda]

I don't think he meant it that way at all, and this is coming from an athiest. I'm reading his book right now and he talks about his mother. She was a secular humanist like myself who believes in bettering ourselves and society. He wasn't raised to be religious, was never taught that there is or isn't a god, or that Jesus is lord, yet he held himself to very high morals and so did his family. So I think that he probably understands that argument better than anyone.

I can't believe people think he's Muslim.
