		<description>I&#039;m confused...the same article you are quoting from the Washington Times (the first quote) goes on to say that he&#039;ll be observing it in the same manner the presidents before George W Bush did.</description>

		<description>Good for Obama. This is what Separation of Church and State is all about. We dont need to be spending tax dollars shoving religion down people throats. Kudos to Obama.</description>

		<description>Christians need to consider seriously the foundation of the American Constitution. It is also important that irrespective of embracing multiple religion due to different nationality, the foundation should not be removed less the house crumbles. America is on the verge of crumbling as the leadership is opposing the very constitution. The foundation of the United States has been experiencing consistent shiftings adn as a result crumbling is inevitable. Obviously, the New &quot;Black&quot; President is trying to be neutral in his dealing with morals and values according to the constitution of America. He sits on the fence regarding serious issues. He&#039;s gottten power and popularity, and if he continues to refuse godly council, like a fool, like Rehoboam, he shall certainly fall. 

It&#039;s disgraceful to see that the President refuses to do carry our his presidential duties. He has a family, yet he supports gay rights, he has a family yet he supports abortion. Had his mom aborted him, this president would not have existed today. Mr. Obama has slapped the church that placed in office in the face. What a shame.</description>

		<description>[It&#039;s still legal - and always God-honoring - to air messages like the following. (See Ezekiel 3:18-19.) In light of government backing of raunchy behavior (such offenders were even executed in early America!), maybe the separation we really need is the &quot;separation of raunch and state&quot;!]

In Luke 17 in the New Testament, Jesus said that one of the big &quot;signs&quot; that will happen shortly before His return to earth as Judge will be a repeat of the &quot;days of Lot&quot; (see Genesis 19 for details). So gays are actually helping to fulfill this same worldwide &quot;sign&quot; (and making the Bible even more believable!) and thus hurrying up the return of the Judge! They are accomplishing what many preachers haven&#039;t accomplished! Gays couldn&#039;t have accomplished this by just coming out of closets into bedrooms. Instead, they invented new architecture - you know, closets opening on to Main Streets where little kids would be able to watch naked men having sex with each other at festivals in places like San Francisco (where their underground saint - San Andreas - may soon get a big jolt out of what&#039;s going on over his head!). Thanks, gays, for figuring out how to bring back our resurrected Saviour even quicker!</description>

		<description>Stop believing lies such as &quot;our Founding Fathers wanted to keep religion out of government&quot; or most of our Founding Fathers were diests&quot;.  Do your own searches and take the official documents not blogs where people just keep spouting the same old liberal lies.

Neither the Constitution nor the First Amendment mention “Separation of Church and State”.  The First Amendment simply reads:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”  That’s all!  Nothing more!

Note that it says Congress shall make no laws establishing or prohibiting religion!

Puritans/Pilgrims left England to escape religious persecution (do google search).  The Church of England was the only sanctioned church.

&quot;Pilgrims were the early settlers who fled a volatile political environment in England to preserve their religion.&quot; (Wikipedia) 

Our Founding Fathers wanted to keep government out of the church&#039;s business, not religion out of government.  Most of them attended church (see below).

[Note:   The phrase separation of church and state is generally traced to the letter written by Thomas Jefferson in 1802 to the Danbury Baptists, in which he referred to the First Amendment to the United States Constitution as creating a &quot;wall of separation&quot; between church and state.  The phrase was then quoted by the United States Supreme Court first in 1878, and then in a series of cases starting in 1948.  This led to increased popular and political discussion of the concept.]

Jefferson’s intent is further reflected in the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, originally by Thomas Jefferson, but championed by Madison, and guaranteeing that no one may be compelled to finance any religion or denomination.   [Wikipedia]

“... no man shall be compelled to frequent or support any religious worship, place, or ministry whatsoever, nor shall be enforced, restrained, molested, or burdened in his body or goods, nor shall otherwise suffer on account of his religious opinions or belief; but that all men shall be free to profess, and by argument to maintain, their opinion in matters of religion, and that the same shall in no wise diminish enlarge, or affect their civil capacities.”  (Wikipedia]

Combining the total number of signatures on the early documents forming our rights, etc. there are 204 individuals that are considered U.S. &quot;Founding Fathers&quot;.  Their religious affiliations: Episcopalian/Anglican (88),  Presbyterian (30), Congregationalist (27), Quaker (7), Dutch/German Reformed (6), Lutheran (5), Catholic (3), Huguenot (3), Unitarian (3), Methodist (2), Calvinist (1), totaling 175.

		<description>At one campaign stop, Obama said that his mother was in heaven despite her atheism and outright rejection of Christ.  While speaking at a town hall forum in North Carolina on March 26, 2008 he said his late mother was “not a believer.”  He continued, &quot;But she was the kindest, most decent, generous person that I have ever known.  I&#039;m sure she is in heaven, even though she may not have subscribed to everything that I subscribe to.&quot;

&quot;There are many paths to the same place.&quot;  - Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey

Jesus said, &quot;I am the way, the truth, and the life; and no one comes to God, the Father, except through me.&quot; (John 14:6)

At Rick Warren&#039;s forum, Obama said, not very convincingly, that he is a Christian and that he believes Jesus died for his sins.  Big deal.  The bible says that even the demons believe and tremble, but that doesn&#039;t mean they are saved.  Yes, Jesus died for every person ever born, but by not receiving him into their lives and following him, they are rejecting the Lord. The woman pastor that was hired to teach him God-speak has coached him well; he didn&#039;t offend any group. 

Those who fit the definition of a Christian (above) are also referred to as &quot;born-again&quot; Christians.  Jesus said that no one can see the kingdom of God (eternal life) unless he is &quot;born again&quot; -- born both of water and of spirit.  (John 3:3,5,6)

There are no shaded areas in Christianity.  ALL people fit into two different categories; they are either &quot;SHEEP&quot; or &quot;GOATS&quot;.  God calls born-again followers of Jesus Christ His &quot;SHEEP&quot;.  Everyone else -- without exception -- are called &quot;GOATS&quot; -- BY GOD!  There&#039;s no such thing as getting an &quot;eternal life pass&quot; for extreme goodness or niceness.  If we have heard the truth about Jesus Christ (and you have if you have read this far), there is only one way we receive the gift of eternal life -- and that is through the atonement of Jesus Christ.  

“He that hears my word, and believes on him [God] that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.”  (John 5:24; 6:47) 

Jesus said, &quot;I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”  (John 10:9)

“Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.”  (Luke 13:23-24)

“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.&quot;  (John 3:16)

“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.”  (Acts 4:12)

&quot;Even now many antichrists have come....they went out from us, but they did not really belong to us (Christians).&quot;  (1 John 2:18-19)

And every spirit which does not acknowledge and confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh [but would annul, destroy, sever, disunite Him] is not of God [does not proceed from Him].  This [nonconfession] is the [spirit] of the antichrist, [of] which you heard that it was coming, and now it is already in the world.&quot;  (1 John 4:3, AMP)

God said, &quot;You shall have no other gods before me&quot; (Exodus 20:3)  -- &#039;No other gods&quot; includes Allah!</description>

		<description>Barack Obama said, &quot;I have never been a Muslim,&quot; but in his book he states that he got into trouble for making faces in Quran class.

According to Tine Hahiyary, one of Obama&#039;s teachers and the principal from 1971 through 1989, Barry actively took part in the Islamic religious lessons during his time at the school. &#039;I remembered that he had studied &#039;mengaji&#039; (recitation of the Quran)&#039; Tine said. 

On February 27, 2008, speaking to Nicholas Kristof, and published in The New York Times, Barack Hussein Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is &#039;one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.&#039; Then Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan, &#039;with a first-class [Arabic] accent.&#039; 
The opening lines of the Adhan (Azaan) is the Shahada: 

&#039;Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! 
Allah is Supreme! Allah is Supreme! 
I witness that there is no god but Allah 
I witness that there is no god but Allah 
I witness that Muhammad is his prophet....&#039; 

&quot;According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. This simple yet profound statement expresses a Muslim&#039;s complete acceptance of, and total commitment to, the message of Islam. Obama chanted it with pride and finesse.&quot;</description>

		<description>The sooner this country gets rid of the National day of Prayer, the better.  The relligious right nutjobs are finding out they don&#039;t have the influence on Obama that they had on Bush and their knickers are all in a bunch about it.  You wanna pray?  Go to your churches and your closets, just shut up about it in the public square.  Obama is leading the country in the right direction; his second term should be really, really interesting. mizlee at aoldot com</description>
