Having just gotten my mind around the idea that Obama denies salvation-through-Christ-alone, Patton Dodd reminds me of yet another lefty pol claiming to be a Christian despite heredox views.
"I believe that all the world, whether they be Muslim, Christian, or any other religion, prays to the same God. That's what I believe."

If we were to pick out all of the presidents who had heterodox beliefs of some sort, we would have to automatically throw out 20 of the men who have been president of the United States. This includes all the presidents who were deist or had deist leanings, Unitarians, Quakers, and the irreligious or presidents (like Abraham Lincoln) who didn't seem to have any religious affiliation whatsoever. We might have to add to the list if we examined all of the religious beliefs of all the Presidents we've had so far. I think this is where the Religious Right goes too far and their agenda should effectively be rejected.
It never ceases to amaze me that after all these centuries of rising out of the pre-Enlightenment swamp of barbarism, we still have people weird enough to take this sort of thing seriously.
I have posted information about Bush making the same statements before his reelection on an interview with Charles Gibson, which is on youtube.
It is very ironic that the Evangelicals still voted for Bush and religious leaders like Dobson support Bush and his illegal and immoral war, while Obama gets nonstop press coverage.
They are both poltical leaders that represent all of the people, not just Christian.
It amazes me that not only did the Evangelicals vote for "W" not just once, but twice! Bad decision on their part as has been proven for the last 8 very long years.
