So he says:

"I am a devout Christian. I have been a member of the same church for 20 years. I pray to Jesus every night," he declared at an earlier appearance in the rural southern Ohio town of Nelsonville. He said he wanted to halt "confusion that has been deliberately perpetrated."

Haha, yeah BB judged him....

but now that you called him on it, he'll do his patented backward scurry and act like he was just putting the info "out there" for other people to draw their own conclusions.

We're not interested in any threads/posts you make about Obama (or even McCain really), so we'd much rather analyze your shady rodent-like behavior.

Shouldn't you be off scouring threads for grammar errors?

Again - I'm not a christian so I can't be the pot or the kettle

There is something particularly rich about one Christian questioning the faith of another.

I usually only point out the hypocracy of professed beliefs vs. actions.

Other than that I've stated many times that I'm for freedom of all religious belief including no belief at all. They're all equal to me.

You'd think two people who are part of that compassionate and loving system of belief would have more respect for each other

are you saying you're not compassionate or don't have respect for other people? regardless of the belief?

"I thought . . . ." LOL. . . . . I'm not sure I've read a single post from you in which any thought was involved. But that's okay. Every board needs a nincompoop like you.

Hey Bum,

Have you and your personal nutsucker Colossus ever actually read the bible?

How about some of those words directly from the mouth or your personal saviour.

"Judge not lest ye be judged"

How is it again that you (as a devout Christian) feel it's OK to judge Obama's faith.

Seriously, I'm not a christian so it's stuff like this where you act in direct contradiction to your stated beliefs that always confuses me.

Good point. You're a bigger man than me (literally and figuratively). I shouldn't do it, but it's too much fun sometimes.

But I should quit too . . . .

aaaaaaaahhhhh, there it is...the favored verse of the non-believer and viperous critic of anything that is in disagreement with his lifestyle.
