Laudate_Dominum Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 [quote]...Obama's speech was personal in nature, as he spoke of how he "came to know Jesus Christ for myself and embrace him as my lord and savior" more than 20 years ago working as a community organizer in Chicago. "In the wake of failures and disappointments, I've questioned what God had in store for me and been reminded that God's plans for us may not always match our own short-sided desires. And let me tell you, these past two years, they have deepened my faith," he said...[/quote] http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20110203/ts_alt_afp/uspoliticsreligion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudate_Dominum Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 [quote name='ParadiseFound' timestamp='1296761666' post='2208260'] I wish so much for an atheist politician, It seems there are none. [/quote] Proclaiming atheism is about as good for a political career as being a devout Wiccan. I'm sure there are plenty of closet atheists out there though. As long as they aren't imposing an anti-religious ideology on society I don't care that much. I highly doubt that Obama can be accused of imposing his religious views on society. He has acknowledged atheists in his speeches (or so I've heard), which Bush never did.[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QhJJBfwJME[/media] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
