I think Barack Obama is an atheist pretending to be a Christian just so he will be president. He is deceiving, he has good looks, he has that voice that just makes you want to vote for him. That is characteristics of the anti-christ, but I don't think Barack Obama is the anti-christ.
John McCain, however, I think is a true Christian. I don't think you can tell him expressing himself to be a Christian like Barack Obama is trying to though.

It's okay, Adam, lots of us developed little crushlets on Obama at some point during the campaign. He's far too tall and lanky for my taste, and even I found my mind wandering when I got a look at his hands. Go ahead and come out, honey.
I know, Adam. One's black, the other white. There's the rub, right?
One is the President, the other a grumpy old man. Get over it.
As Bill Maher put it, "This election, we learned that Barack Obama went to church every Sunday for 20 years, which makes him a Muslim. And Jon McCain never went to church, which makes him a Christian."
Yep atrasicarius, that's pretty much how I was going to put it. During the election, the more someone talked about their faith, the less Christian they were...
John McCain, however, I think is a true Christian.
Yeah, the same way Charles Manson is a true christian!
I wouldn't trust John McCain with a dollar bill. That creep dumped his disabled wife for a rich blond beauty and he cheated on his disabled wife while they were still married. True christian indeed, that is what I call family values!
"I think Barack Obama is an atheist pretending to be a Christian just so he will be president."
If this is true (doubt it) then it says more about American's opinions of atheists than it dose about Obama. I find it hard to believe that in this day and age people still vote with their Bibles instead of their brains.
So, wait... Now is Obama an atheist, a secret Muslim, a closet homosexual or the Anti-Christ? I get soooo confused trying to keep up with him.
"I think Barack Obama is an atheist pretending to be a Christian just so he will be president."
Fairly big assertion backed up with zero evidence whatsoever. Though, even if that were true, he's not the first politician to do so in this country because of crazed Bible-thumpers who ignore all the qualities of a human being except for whether or not they are of the "correct" faith.
"He is deceiving, he has good looks, he has that voice that just makes you want to vote for him."
And a proper strategy for the war in Afghanistan, his economic policies with progressive taxes and the fact that he opposed the Iraq War from the very beginning...
"That is characteristics of the anti-christ, but I don't think Barack Obama is the anti-christ."
Then why even say so, you fucking moron?
"John McCain, however, I think is a true Christian."
First of all, this is going into the "No True Scotsman" fallacy, and second of all, there's also no proof of this either. Remember, you rubes also thought Bush was a "true Christian" but cried yourselves to sleep when you realized he didn't believe in the literal Creation story of Genesis.
Bwa hahahaha.
McCain hadn't made an issue of his religion for YEARS - not since the early 90s, at least. Then along came Campaign '08, and both candidates were jumping as hard as they could on the evangelical bandwagon.
Obama: smart, nice and charismatic.
Yep, sounds like one of us to me.
McCain: confused, grumpy loser.
Wow, that characterization's spot-on too!
I think Barack Obama is an atheist pretending to be a Christian just so he will be president.
sigh.
Just because you don't like someone, Adam, or even if you just disagree with them, doesn't mean that they are an Atheist, Muslim, Closet Homosexual, or even the Anti-Christ. It just means that they have different opinions than you do.
"he has good looks, he has that voice that just makes you want to vote for him. That is characteristics of the anti-christ"
So, the reincarnation of Christ will be ugly with an annoying voice that no one will like. Holy Crap! Rosie O'Donnell is Jebus!
he has good looks, he has that voice that just makes you want to vote for him.
As opposed to the simian Bush, with his phony Texas accent that comes and goes, and nobody should have ever voted for.
i just don't know why everyone cares so much about his religion, unless it effected his foreign policy, like a Jew would likely favor Israel more, or a Muslim favor the Palestinians. Both Christians and Atheists have no reason to favor either
I have actually harbored the notion Obama was an atheist for a while now. He says his dad was an atheist when he met his mom, that he himself didn't have a lot of faith growing up, and his explanation for why he converted to Christianity to me sounded pretty much exactly like a Christian front for political expedience. While that doesn't exactly sit perfectly well with me I can't say I blame him.
Here's a little quote I found, albeit from Conservapedia so take from it what you will:
"In Indonesia, I'd spent 2 years at a Muslim school, 2 years at a Catholic school. In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell mother I made faces during Koranic studies. In the Catholic school, when it came time to pray, I'd pretend to close my eyes, then peek around the room. Nothing happened. No angels descended. Just a parched old nun and 30 brown children, muttering words. Sometimes the nun would catch me, and her stern look would force my lids back shut. But that didn't change how I felt inside."
Certainly sounds like a page from the life of any atheist brought up by Church-going parents doesn't it?
First a Muslim and now an atheist. And my question is why?, because, as far as I'm concerned, there is no religious test to be a presdident. And concerning MacCaine, well, a divorced adulterer can't be a True Christian, according to their theology.
All this Obama hate I see from many Americans, I'm not really heavy into US politics (I follow them to a degree from here in Aus), but most of what I see is baseless dislike of Obama and various attempts to paint him as something your average idiot undecided voter wouldn't like, e.g. Hitler, the Anti-Christ, a Terrorist associate, a Muslim, an atheist etc.
It is from this that I must conclude that many Americans are still racist deep down. Clearly there are so many good Americans but there is clearly a lingering racism issue here.
Potentate Argyros: "So, wait... Now is Obama an atheist, a secret Muslim, a closet homosexual or the Anti-Christ? I get soooo confused trying to keep up with him."
Oh, he's all four at once. Somehow. He's just that evil .
About the only lie I'd accept as necessary to govern sensibly.
That last sentence,,, is he trying to say McCain didn't play the good Christian card when campaigning? Hell, that's all Palin was there for!
I thought we were over this? Obama is not a Muslim, not an atheist, not the AntiChrist, and he is not a closet homosexual. Now shut up and eat some pie.
And being a false Christian would make Barack different from... how many past presidents?
Oh that's right. None.
(To me it's pretty obvious McCain has a hard time disguising his contempt for conservative Christianity... one of the things that made his campaign so painful to watch.)
Sweetie, you guys need to take a deep breath and realize Obama was elected fair and square. If you don't like that move out of the country.* ohpleezeohpleezeohpleeze
*an apology to the international community. Maybe you guys can do something with them.
I think Barack Obama is an atheist pretending to be a Christian just so he will be president.
I think that is possible, mabye even probable.
John McCain, however, I think is a true Christian.
Cool, as long as he's not a true Scotsman.
If that is the worst thing you can say about the president, he must be doing a damn good job.
Or were you saving telepromptergate as a backup?
> Namely, stray dogs get better treatment.
Wait, you mean a stray dog could be elected president?!
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
