→Absurd rationale for removing the picture at the Evergreen Chapel
::Apparently, the advancemen for Obama's talk at Georgetown University had a non-wood backdrop constructed on the stage where he was to give a speech. The backdrop happened to block the monogram "IHS" on the wall behind the stage. 1) How can CP attribute the detailed actions of the White House advancemen to Obama's personal religion? 2) How can CP make the argument from this example and the fact that Obama chose the Supreme Court service over the church funeral for Scalia to conclude that Obama doesn't like being in churches? 3) How can CP conclude from two faulty examples that Obama doesn't like being in a church to the generalization that photos showing Obama in a church must be rejected as evidence? 4) How can an article which has photos showing Obama allegedly "bowing" to shake hands with a much shorter Saudi king; of [[Muammar Gaddafi]]; of a pig in a pig pen; and an undated old photo of Senator Obama wearing a native costume be guilty of [[photo bias]] when adding Obama speaking at the alter of the Evergreen Chapel, the church which the Obama family joined during his Presidential years? 5) How can CP argue from the Georgetown speech backdrop and the two missed funerals that Obama must be a Muslim? I am not impressed by the logic here. Please enlighten me.[[User:JDano|JDano]] ([[User talk:JDano|talk]]) 07:41, 1 June 2017 (EDT)

:::Regarding the IHS thing, and the whole bit about two missed funerals, all that really proves is that Obama, for all his talk, is definitely no Christian (certainly not a conservative Christian). It could mean he's an atheist or a muslim as it could go either way, so it's not definitive proof. We could note the bit about him wearing a muslim ring during his College years, though.

::::Dear Pokeria1, you are assuming that these three things are a result of Obama's religious beliefs, rather than security concern dictated by the Secret Service or other non-religious factors. The fact that Obama has attended church many times and attended at least three funerals held in churches while President, really negates the argument. "Neither Pokeria1 nor JDano attended the Christian funeral of Nancy Reagan, therefore Pokeria1 and JDano must be Muslim," is a silly line of argument. Finally, there has never been a claim that Obama is a "conservative Christian". Most of his religious introduction to the faith was in the [[United Church of Christ]] which is more Congregationalist. He joined an "middle class" congregation which was less expressive and celebratory than some of the African-American denominations. As president, he then decided to join the Evergreen Chapel, where most of the regular attendees are enlisted naval seamen stationed at Camp David and the pastor is a Navy chaplain. The whole operation is the chaplain and a part-time music coordinator who plays the organ/piano for both the 10 a.m. Protestant service and the 8 a.m. Catholic mass held in the same building. I don't judge people by how they worship, and Conservapedia should not get into the business of arguing that some Christians are "more Christian" than others.
