Barack Obama Versus Religion

Filed under: obama video — Tags: agnostic, agnosticism, atheism, barack, Bible, education, enlightenment, Evangelicals, God, Government, humanism, ignorance, Morality, obama, politics, president, religion, secular, superstition, tolerance, values — admin @ 8:42 am

An amazing & brave moral stance against the dogmatic prejudice of religion. A real surprise for an American politician.

“We are no longer a Christian nation.”

“Folks haven’t been reading the Bible.”

“…universal rather than religion-specific values.”

“…in a pluralistic society, we have no choice.”

“…religion doesn’t allow for compromise.”

Obama Speech on Religion

Filed under: obama speech — Tags: and, atheist, Bible, church, obama, of, religion, robertson, seperation, sharpton, state — admin @ 4:49 pm

I usually don’t upload other videos and post them (thanks YOISM.org), but this video was too good to pass up. It reinforces why I love this candidate. Finally someone eloquent who really gets it!!! He admits some of the inanities in the bible and the illogic. He admits that faith is illogical and imperfect. He lays out why religion should stay out of government. He’s for civil unions and not marriage, but… eh… criticizing that is like not driving the Lamborghini because it only gets 9 miles per gallon.

It’s my ertion that obama is either a closet atheist only in religion for political reasons (Yeah hypocritical, the Lamborghini doesn’t have any cup holders either) or he’s one of the last and most sane Christian I could ever hope to meet.

Enjoy.
