Obama Controversy--Brienne

Ally basically said it all in her last post. Our first amendment right gives us the freedom of religion. That is the bottom line. It shouldn't matter if Obama is Muslim, which he isn't. He would still be the best candidate in my eyes, even if he wasn't Christian. I will never vote for someone based on their religious denomination. People say that because his father was a NON PRACTICING Muslim, Obama must be a devout Muslim and therefore cannot be the president of the United States. However, Obama is not a Muslim, so this is a moot point. He is a Christian and has been one for years. Let me ask you this: how many of you believe every word that comes out of your religious leader's mouth? How many of you will blindly follow what your religious leader says? How many of you have absolutely no questions whatsoever regarding your religion? The answer is, or at least should be, none of you. Everyone disagrees at one point or another with something your priest or pastor says. If you deny this, you are lying, which, let me point out, is a sin. Obama should not be penalized for the things that his pastor is saying. This is an unfair comparison. He has said time and time again that he does not agree with the crazy things coming out of Reverend Wright's mouth. Obama is not on the same page as he is and people need to stop associating Obama with him.
