Nor does having your daughters baptised, going to a radical church, or exchanging presents on December the 25th make you a Christian.

 

Obama's only link to Christianity is Reverend Wright and his church which Obama attended for 20 years. Like I said I don't know what he is other than a great public speaker.

 

Then how do we know anyone is a Christian?

My father was raised in the Catholic Church. I'm dating a woman that was raised as a Catholic and attended a Catholic high school.

 

Guess what? I'm not Catholic, and those connections don't make so any more than Obama's Muslim ties make him a closet Muslim.

 

And I bet you have never said "My Catholic faith". Not even by accident.

 

You have to admit he is alot more connected to the Muslim faith than your typical Bible believing Christian, don't you?

Not trying to be disrespectful at all. I'm not saying you are stupid, far from it. I just feel your arguement is stupid.

 

I can only go by what people practice. I don't know anyone's heart. I do know that he participates in Christian rituals, NOT in muslim ones. I would assume that the Methodist preacher that lives down my road is a Christian. He professes to be. His daughters are baptized, he celebrates Christian holidays, and he "attends" a Christian church. But I don't know what is in his heart. Maybe he's not a Christian. Maybe he is secretly a muslim trying to undermine the Christians in his church.

 

Wait...maybe THEY aren't Christians either. Hmmmmm....

Then how do we know anyone is a Christian?

 

If they hunt Easter eggs I suppose.

 

I think it is difficult unless you hear their own conversion experience. I would like to hear both canidates describe what it means to be "saved". Obama may very well be a born again Christian. I'm not saying he is or isn't but I can't just say "oh he celebrates Christmas or he goes to church" and just assume he is a Christian.

 

The church he attended and the man who served as his pastor raises a few eyebrows. That may not be popular amoung dems but it is how it is.

I wonder how many emails have been sent around telling everyone that westsider is a Catholic?

You didn't see the debate at the Saddleback Church then? Both were asked this (or a very similar) question.

Born again Christian? I think you have a lot more reading to do outside of anonymous chain emails.

If you noticed Westsider said his dad was raised in a Catholic church but he did not say if his father was Catholic.

Ummm...you do realize that not all Christian denominations subscribe to the "born again" premise, right? Does that make me, for example, less of a Christian? Or maybe not even a Christian at all?

I have not read any chain emails but I believe every true Christian is born again. No if, and, or buts.

 

So what's your point.

Is McCain born again? Serious question...I don't even know what his religious denomination is.

That you are questioning a person's faith based on nothing.

I disagree. If he were Muslim, notice I said if, then it would be very relevant. Apparently the left agrees with me because they get up in arms everytime it is brought up.

What would be the issue if he were?
