Hi everyone, my name is India and I have been following your thread.
DAvid, you are a smart man. However, Obama believes that there are many paths to heaven. Therefore he cannot claim Christianity. Christianity is another name for “Christ follower”. One way, one path, through the cross. I seriously doubt that our existing president falls in this catagory at this time. I dont mean to offend you by writing this but I believe it to be true.
Ok, back to the thread subject…
india[quote=”maravilla”]as a foreigner in a foreign country, you will have a hard time saying whatever you like. you obviously don’t live here, and hopefully won’t, but the rules of the game are much different here than in the US where we brandish freedom of speech as our god-given right. come on down and espouse your views and see how your life turns out. you’ll be known as some pinche gringo and you’ll be a target for all kinds of mischief.[/quote]
Maravilla, according to your ego, no one but you should live in Costa Rica.
india[quote=”CostaRicaDreamin”]Such hate based remarks coming from all of you! You all reacted in such a way to my little remarks, I can’t belive it. I have read all of YOUR remarks about other things, butI don;t have the right to say what I want or live where you live? RIGHT!? Shame on you all.[/quote]
You are right on Costaricadreamin. Have you noticed that when Christ is mentioned, all the non-Christians get all fired up? Are they nervous about their eternity or what?

What’s your source? When did President Obama say or write this. Please be explicit. Dates? Page numbers?
Oh! And do you know, [u]for a fact[/u], that if he does believe that there are many paths to heaven that he’s wrong? How do you know? How many paths to heaven have you experienced? Where’s the proof?
[b]India wrote:[/b] “Therefore he cannot claim Christianity.”
On whose authority do [u]you[/u] make this declaration? Please cite your sources. This isn’t just your own very personal opinion of President Obama’s Christianity, is it? If this really is simply your opinion, please label it as such. And explain its significance to the forum.
[b]India wrote[/b]: “I seriously doubt that our existing president falls in this catagory at this time…but I believe it to be true.”
You are, of course, welcome to doubt anything you wish and to believe anything you like. No one challenges that. But know that neither your doubts nor your beliefs about Barak Obama’s religious beliefs mean a thing to him or to anyone else. They are the as yet unsupported doubts and beliefs of one person and nothing more. And they are hardly definitive.
And I suspect that they are not well founded in fact. Show us the sources and maybe we’ll be convinced. And if that comes to pass, what will be the significance?
Why are we even having this discussion? What’s the point?
[quote=”DavidCMurray”]Why are we even having this discussion? What’s the point?[/quote]
Although the point is inappropriate for this discussion I think that it expresses the feeling among many misinformed, especially among conservatives, that Obama is a Muslim.
I think, too, that many think that because we are living in Costa Rica that we do not share a concern for America.
The source is Fox News Channel and I have had an ongoing conversation with my conservative classmates (’59) shooting down their theories and pointing out that you have to have a broader view than what is offered by Limbaugh, Hannity and Company.
Okay, waggoner, the point is that we’re having a discussion about President Obama’s religious orientation. But the question remains . . . why? Why don’t we talk about Joe Biden’s religion? Or Sean Hannity’s? Or Antonin Scalia’s? Or Alfred E. Neuman’s? Why President Obama’s?
Or . . . Why don’t we shift the discussion to some other topic altogether like maybe, coming to or living in (say) Costa Rica?
Here’s another thought . . . Let’s shift the conversation and argue about whether the moon is made of rock, as is the common misconception, or whether it’s really made of green cheese. Me? I come down on the side of the green cheese crowd. Everybody else is wrong and I’m right.
And since the “moon landings” were actually staged in a warehouse on a secret military base in Arizona, currently being renovated by FEMA for reasons we all know, who’s got the evidence to prove me wrong?

According to Wikipedia, yes, Bimbo is a Mexican company founded in 1945. They are now the 5th largest food company in the world, and as of 2008 [i][b]is the largest bakery company in the USA[/b][/i] I have seen the familiar Bimbo trucks in Southern California, but I do not believe it is distributed throughout the US.

1 – Limbaugh, Hannity and the rest of Fox News Channel’s talking heads.
2 – Because he’s black.
3 – He doesn’t fit their mold.
4 – His step-father was Muslim.
5 – He was born in a foreign country – Hawaii.
6 – Because people would rather live in fear of something rather than live their redundant boring lives. Their fears are the only thing they’ve got to push their adrenalin.Actually Barack Obama didn’t exist before he announced that he would run for president. He was dropped in Chicago by aliens who brainwashed all of the people who claim they knew him and manufactured all of the documents referring to him.

My reason…it irritates me. With all the topics that are relavant to Scotts intentions I look at a remark that is parroted from the mouths of talking heads who the author knows are paid to push his/her buttons but rather than having the moxy to do basic research they accept it unedited. It’s like playing with the minds of children.
[quote=”DavidCMurray”] Me? I come down on the side of the green cheese crowd. [/quote]
Here we are going to have a disagreement. I am in favor of Bleu cheese which can sometimes have a greenish cast to it and I believe the warehouse is in Nevada unless they have moved it.
Nope, wrong again, waggoner. The warehouse [u]used[/u] to be in Nevada but they moved it to Arizona to make room for the expanded FEMA camp in Nevada where it used to sit. President Obama is going to designate it as a national historic site.
I have this on the very authority which the talking heads use, the voices in our heads.
