Obama's new church: St. Elsewhere's?

It's interesting to think about Obama trying to go to church somewhere and, while church-hunting is familiar to many who move around, it is true we don't have the other variable of being the POTUS.

I wonder though - if Obama were looking for a larger congregation and denomination to be a part of - would he be more popular than the pope in DC?

This article indicates he is not.

I'm sorry but I think this quote by Gilgoff:

"George W. Bush, who was perceived as intensely religious, could afford to worship quietly at Camp David. Obama, who's still establishing himself as a Christian in the public eye and who continues to battle false rumors that he's a Muslim, could afford to flaunt his Sunday-morning habits a bit more"

is beyond stupid.

I think it is insulting, especially to the public but also to the Obamas, to George Bush (who I normally don't care if people insult) and actually I think it is insulting to the whole idea of worship.

And religion. And faith.

As if it is all about what it looks like and what others who are watching me need to feel comfortable with, or believe, my faith and belief.

Gross.

I feel that Mrs. Obama may be a Christian, but I think that Mr. Obama has no real desire to be so described......with his early training as a Muslum he may or may not be confused as to his faith, if any, but in this country, he must have an appearance of being Christian....must be hard on him!

Emily Jane: Not to cast stones, but Mark Sanford is an Episcopalian.

What is the "C Street" route. Is Mark Sanford an Episcopalian? I read somewhere that Mrs. Sanford is Catholic. Is this true? I think where the Obamas worship is their decision but I can see the hardship in joining a church in Washington, DC.

"C" street is a reference to "The Fellowship" isn't it? That renowned powerful Evangelical secret society that helps fallen congressmen and presidents recover their power base after they slide into sexual sin?

There doesn't seem to be a reason for President Obama to attend.

But perhaps once his evil Muslim roots reassert themselves, and his agenda to overthrow the country in favor of becoming an African satellite of Mugabwe's dictatorship come to fruition then he may need to avail himself of such. I imagine all his nefarious intentions do include infidelity to his wife but that is so tame considering just how perfectly evil he truly is.

/irony off.

well done Cindy!

Pagan Sister -- you did see the /irony off at the end of my post, right?

I don't care a whit if President Obama was Muslim, Hindu, Atheist or even (gasp) Catholic.

I do tend toward belief of the person professing the faith, so since he says he is Christian then I tend to say he is a Christian. Not because I think Christianity is better, but because it is his choice to believe and to name that belief.

It has always amazed me, throughout the entire election cycle (wasn't it a 100 year cycle toward the 2008 election?) that an "accusation" of Muslim faith would be so odious as to require some proof of its falsehood.

What? Don't we actually protect and value freedom of religion in this country? Well, if not in the country at least in our Constitution?

But, I digress.

I was simply poking fun at the ubiquitous Muslim-scare tactics that continue to be thrown at the President.

it should not matter where he prays, but that he prays
surely there are more serious matters facing us
but this sure is fun!

How is it any of your business and how does it affect you if homosexuals marry? It doesn't. It's called equality for all. Not to worry, the USA isn't going anywhere. BTW, there are many true Christians who know that their creator loves all his/her creations and accepts hetetosexuals and homosexuals. What is the expression I've heard many Christians say? "God doesn't make mistakes."
