February 22, 201214 yr OMG LOL SMH :eek: Can you narrow it down a bit? Is it about him questioning the POTUS faith?
February 22, 201214 yr 1st Amendment right to say what he believes or thinks, I can't believe it would be a problem with some on here since they fight for 1st Amendment all of the time.
February 22, 201214 yr 1st Amendment right to say what he believes or thinks, I can't believe it would be a problem with some on here since they fight for 1st Amendment all of the time. Did anyone say anyting about rights?
February 22, 201214 yr Well it seemed the first post had a problem with what he said, when he has every right to question what he wants.

February 22, 201214 yr Well it seemed the first post had a problem with what he said, when he has every right to question what he wants. The key phrase is "what he said."
February 22, 201214 yr Author Obama told me he is a Christian, but I am not sure. Santorum told me he is a Christian and I am positive he is. Gingrich I believe is a Christian Romney - Most Christian don't believe Mormons are Christians. Who are most Christians? Who is he to challenge anyone's Christianity?

Gingrich I believe is a Christian Romney - Most Christian don't believe Mormons are Christians. Who are most Christians? Who is he to challenge anyone's Christianity? If I may offer this answer... He is a preacher. That is what a preacher does...calls people to faith, challenges their faith, and/or calls out the sin in their life and turns them to God. And most preachers that have surrendered to the Godly call to preach, have concluded that, in the end, they have to answer to God and not those that may have been rubbed the wrong way. This means that they preach anyway, even if they are persecuted or misunderstood. You may not agree or you may think it is silly...that is ok. I am not trying to prove anything, only offering an answer from a different perspective. I will tell you that if God wants to challenge my Christianity, through Mr Graham or any other preacher, I am all ears. I need God and I need all the help I can get.
February 22, 201214 yr For me to say someone is or isn't a Christian I'd have to know exactly what they think, how they act at all times, and what's in their heart. Who on earth is capable of this? Secondly, the POTUS could be agnostic or an atheist. It's irrelevant to me. Can he/she run the country effectively? That's it.

He was hypocritical in all that he said. Had a double standard for the four men. And his job is NOT to judge a man's heart, which is what he was doing. My father-in-law, a Baptist preacher and former professor at Southern Seminary was disgusted (that may be too strong, but maybe not) by the comments and the light it shed on other Christians.
February 22, 201214 yr Here's what the problem with all of this is: Per the Constitution, candidates are not required to submit to and pass a religious test to be eligible for office. However, the loop-de-loos on the religious right, and by extension a significant portion of the Republican machinery, want nothing more than to put candidates through said wringer. People such as Franklin Graham, who like to beat folks across the head with their Bible, creep me out to no end.

February 22, 201214 yr I saw Franklin Graham on Morning Joe yesterday. Creeps me out describes it as well as anything. Long ago the Catholic church mandated a celibate clergy in part because of a problem with church property and position being handed down to children. I have long felt that it was time for the church to reconsider the policy. After seeing Franklin Graham yesterday, maybe the church has it right. Franklin is no Billy.
