Obama's Religion
in response to reader comment: I would just like to know

Submitted by Darla, Feb 8, 2008 00:07

OBAMA goes to a church called THE CHURCH OF CHRIST which is quite different than the CHURCH OF CHRIST. He is not a fundamental christian BUT he is not of the muslim faith either.I already voted on FEB 5th so to the rest of you (IF YOU REALLY CARE) that have questions about what his real belief's are----search all the web sites that you have time to look at,or go to the church he believes in 1 time OR SERIOUSLY consider asking someone a little bit older or alittle bit more educated in religion than you are. I know we have to humble ourselves sometimes and sometimes that is not easy but hopefully ,before any of you:;that still has time to vote will take this information into consideration. To Maryola, just for the record,the color of some ones skin does not bother me and it does not bother me if it is a man or a woman that is the candidate.Look to your faith and IT IS totally okay for you to be weary after 9/11. WHO wouldn"t be????????
