K-S-U's post got me thinking:
The 2% of Christians who don't believe in God at all would be an interesting group.
K-S-U puts Obama into that group.
I'm surprised that's such a controversial comment. The only church Obama attended with any regularity was Rev' Wright's BLT church in his district in Chicago, which he pretty plainly joined only for political expediency. Of course, no serious presidential candidate, or president, would admit to being an aetheist, but can you really look at Obama and tell me that "there's a man who believes in God"? He once slammed his opponents as "clinging to their religion." He's a typical far left liberal aetheist.
Will this continue to be an issue with the average voter in the coming years? How long will "Christian" be a requirement? Is it possible in the next 50 years? :pray:
-
Other countries have moved past this antiquated silliness, hopefully we aren't far behind.
-
Would be interesting. I mean, wedge issues seem to be mostly what is discussed in the elections. Seeing how those would change would be interesting.
-
How does K-S-U know how regularly Obama went to church? Is church attendance public record? When I was a kid and went to church, I don't remember roll call being taken.
-
Oh look, I've stumbled into a religious bigot chat room. How horrifying.
-
probably 100 years from now.
-
Mods, please change the thread title to "Bigoted Towards 95% of the World"
-
Do you bigots hate people of all faiths or just christians?
-
Who said anything about hate?
-
I don't have a problem with Christian presidents, but I think it would be a positive step for society if it wasn't basically a requirement to be Christian.
-
probably 100 years from now.
Look at the change in marriage opinion over the last 5-10 years. I think you're being a tad pessimistic.
-
"I don't hate christians, I just think they're bad for society"
Okie dokie, uncle bigot
-
In the next 5-7 elections.
-
I hope never!! We don't need some bone head heathen with no morale compass setting our agenda.
-
You're god damn right, renocat
-
It says "In God We Trust" on our money so when we no longer use that currency
-

I don't know how often, but that's the only church Obama talks about having gone to with any regularity. Wright officiated the Obamas' wedding, baptised their children, and gave a sermon which Obama claims to have been the inspiration for the title of his memoir "The Audacity of Hope" (:lol: still makes me laugh).
When Obama criticizes working class Amercians as "clinging to religion", that's not the opinion of a religious person. It's exactly the kind of smug, nasty comment you'd hear from an atheist.

Just smug and nasty, nevermind that it's completely true

"You go into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothing's replaced them. And they fell through the Clinton Administration, and the Bush Administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations."
Also not the opinion of a gun
-
I think it could be sooner than kk thinks. It's nowhere near as relevant as it was even 10 years ago. I don't believe it's a large issue for even christian moderates.
-
The biggest problem with the way politics and the church have intermingled in my lifetime is that issues like guns, small government, border control, strong support of a massive military etc. have all become wrapped up in how Christians vote and express their faith. That is foolish and is just American culture, not following Jesus. I went to a church for a while where they had a soldier returning from Iraq stand to be recognized and people went bananas. Crying, wild cheering, like nothing I had seen on a typical sleepy Sunday morning. It was repulsive to me. I am happy to honor a soldier and give him respect and thanks, but what I witnessed was the worship of "American values" and an allegiance to America valued over all things. So I'd love for the church (I mean Christians as a whole) to have to separate their faith and their vote, and not be such sheep but thinking for themselves.
I'd love to vote for someone of a different faith if I thought they were the best person for the job, no different than I love going to a middle eastern restaurant run by a Muslim or a Jew. I realize that president is different, but I want the best person to lead. Mitt Romney and I believe very, very, very different things about God and Jesus and Heaven and Hell and eternity and the church, but it never really was part of my decision making process on who to vote for in 2012.
Mainline, mainstream churches are in MASSIVE decline in America. The culture has already shifted and will continue to. I bet it happens soon.
In the 1920s the idea of a Catholic president was laughable, 40 years later, JFK.
In the 1960s a person of color as president was a pipe dream, and here we have Obama.
It will happen.
-
Interesting to see how harshly places like Oklahoma are reacting to a-religious people or people who don't work within their conception of fundamentalist Christendom in relation to marriage.
Probably someone will come about who will later reveal they are a godless heathen.
-
I thought Obama was a Muslim so I think the wait is over.
-
many christians dont consider mormon to be christian. that was kinda close
-
Hopefully soon because I'm tired of politicians telling us "God" told them to invade other countries, or that they must deny rights to others to keep him happy.

omg, perfect :lol:
-
If God created the world and Jesus rose from the dead to save us heathen morons, then he can get some mileage out of even a dumbass president, even if he is a couple of bubbles off plumb with his Christian views.

It's and indefensibly shallow and insensitive remark, and you should be embarrassed that you're trying to minimize it.

It was very insensitive and shallow and also not very smart.
-
Not very politically correct, if you will.
-
Should we really expect more from an ignorant bigot?
-
i think it was 100 percent correct. i'm interested in knowing what fsd thinks is ignorant about it

-
Omg :lol:
From one bigot to another
-
which part are you having trouble with, how to bold a section in a quote or finding the bigoted section of the quote?
-
7 isn't anti-black, he's anti-integration
-
very daxian "tapout but keep posting" thing going on here by fsd
-
I would hope one of your libtarded pals would step in and correct your ignorant bigotry, but clearly they're more dickless than even I originally thought
-
Why don't you bold the part that's 100% correct you subhuman piece of filth
-
Fsd, double down big cat

:dunno:
-
Predictable
-
that wasn't hard at all, not sure why you're having such trouble
-
I'm sure you're quite pleased with yourself.
-
i am :D
-
Obama was just parroting a southpark episode.
-
The display of intolerance toward others holding different opinions (i.e., the definition of a bigot) in this thread is disgusting, and an embarrassment to the Pit.
Thou bigots shall be ridiculed into conformance!!!!!!
-
LET US BE INTOLERANT AND HATE MINORITIES, DAMMIT!! IT'S IN THE FIRST AMENDMENT!!
-
I seriously need to know who is running the FSD sock. It's just spectacular.
-
Christians with fundamental views are not ignorant backward morons. Social based Christians who belief that the more amount of social good works you do increases your faith also belief government can be our nanny. It seems if you do not agree with the positions of progressive elitists you are labelled a stupid backward inbred imbecile that is iintolerant. Yes the Supreme Socialist is practicing snob bigotry.
-
I'm glad most of the libtards backed out of this thread once they realized how rough ridin' stupid, bigoted and hypocritical they looked. It's the libtards that were emboldened that make this such a treat. Thank you. Thank you.
-

Having a non Christian President won't make any of that go away and will probably make it worse.

This is the pittiest thread in awhile.

Only a jv bbs'ing dumbass would make this post.
Congrats, bigot, and lol

going on 2 1/2 days now since you called somebody a bigot and did not explain how or why or when or for what
-

The fact that you're begging for someone to explain it to you is not only pathetic, it's quite troubling.

maybe you didn't mean it, but it's not really your style to backpedal, so you're just doubling down?
-
I'm sorry, I don't understand the question.
-
yes you do

FSD is a much better poster outside of the pit.

5 1/2 days :lol:

Yes, it would be a good sign.
-
Very interesting question, btw Michigan cat.
-
The problem is that the rewards for coming out non-Christian would have to outweigh the rewards for identifying as Christian. This would be based on demographics and like, what, 80% of americans still identify Christian

5 1/2 days :lol:

Jfc.

If I had a quarter for every time that FSD called someone a bigot or a libtard just in this thread, according to my calculations.. I would have $8.25 :clap: :clap: :clap:
