Obama Publicly Attends Church In Iowa To Quell Muslim Rumors

[w¡n9Nµ7 §£@¥€r 123]

I think Obama is an agnostic. I don't trust him on the Christian thing. Or maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part.

Obama's words:

One Sunday, I put on one of the few clean jackets I had, and went over to Trinity United Church of Christ on 95th Street on the South Side of Chicago. And I heard Reverend Jeremiah A. Wright deliver a sermon called “The Audacity of Hope.” And during the course of that sermon, he introduced me to someone named Jesus Christ. I learned that my sins could be redeemed. I learned that those things I was too weak to accomplish myself, he would accomplish with me if I placed my trust in him. And in time, I came to see faith as more than just a comfort to the weary or a hedge against death, but rather as an active, palpable agent in the world and in my own life.

It was because of these newfound understandings that I was finally able to walk down the aisle of Trinity one day and affirm my Christian faith. It came about as a choice and not an epiphany. I didn’t fall out in church, as folks sometimes do. The questions I had didn’t magically disappear. The skeptical bent of my mind didn’t suddenly vanish. But kneeling beneath that cross on the South Side, I felt I heard God’s spirit beckoning me. I submitted myself to his will, and dedicated myself to discovering his truth and carrying out his works.

And I was, like, Jesus Who? I had never heard of Jesus Christ before. I was raised as a Muslim

and have a Muslim-sounding middle name so most people would automatically assume that I am one.

What part of

To combat those rumors, the candidate attended church with reporters in tow at the 10 a.m. services that included a presentation by the Sunday School members.

is Hillary's doing?

You guys need Reading 101.

devilette resorts to insults again.

Don't worry....if she hasn't already, she'll report all of us to Mags, Lal, and Ewok for "flaming her" because we're trying to explain what she refuses to understand....

PlatyPius, I agree. She reported me the same day she did you. That was when Mags shut down a thread. With people

like this in our midst.......

Well, he does have 7 to choose from now. *coughs*

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

As for me, why the hell does anyone CARE what religion he is? Why is it in any way important? People are morons.

People are scared of electing a Muslim. You can thank Bush for helping create the environment that Bill/Hillary are now taking advantage of.

Bill/Hillary?

I think it's more like Romney/Huckabee/and now Obama with their Jesus as co-pilot campaigns....

Well, Hillary's campaign folks have been and still are busy making Obama appear unelectable by any means they see fit. Sure, they always dismiss the hit jobs as not authorized by the campaign or Hillary but who really believes that anymore?

Dude. Obama invited the press to church to prove he's not, you know, MUSLIM. Huckabee preachs whenever possible & Romney is constantly on about Mormons. No Hillary in this PR job.

Dudette. You just have missed the hit job that Hilary's campaign pulled not long ago accusing Mr. Obama of not being truthful of his religous convictions. It is because of this type nonsense that Hillary pulls on her opponent that Mr. Obama and his campaign felt the need to put those doubts - that Hillary and her campaign helped nurture - to rest.
