Wacky Wednesday--Obama Is Not A Christian, Probably A Muslim

Note: Before reading the following arguments, please understand that they are not what I believe. On Wednesdays, I deliberately argue for wrong ideas, challenging my listeners to call and defend the obvious right answer, which is usually far harder than one would expect. This is a summary of what Wacky Andrew will be arguing, not a representation of what real Andrew believes.

Not a Christian

~His mother was a Christian-turned atheist, raised by two lapsed Christian parents.

~He has no clear faith record

~He doesn’t have a home church

~He hasn’t attended many churches

~The one church he is known for being a member of was a radical liberation theology church founded by a known radical: Jeremiah Wright Perhaps he’s a supporter of that way of thinking. Perhaps he did it only because it was politically necessary for him in Chicago. Either way, he doesn’t have the sort of clear religious core that would have led him away from it.

~He is pro-choice

~He is pro-gay

~His religion is unidentifiable to most Christians.

~Michelle and the girls don’t go to church, either.

~What denomination is he?

Muslim

~Um, his name?

~He refused to call this a Christian nation overseas

~He is certainly actively building relationships with Muslim countries

~He came out in favor of the Ground Zero Mosque.

~His father was a Muslim turned atheist.

~His stepfather was a Muslim.

~He spent time in Indonesia as a child

~We know that Muslims who believe in jihad also believe in lying about their true identity

~When Michelle visited Spain, she went to Muslim sites and not Christian ones.

~He hosts Muslim dinners such as during Ramadan

~He was born to a Muslim father, which makes him by definition a Muslim in the eyes of Muslims.
