Talk:Religion of Barack Obama (view source)

:::"[correction: "Christian story"? No real Christian refers to the faith that way.]" Statements like this are opinion, and once we start saying "real" Christian we are not only breaking the Conservapedia Commandments, but we're dividing Christians. If there was a link to a person who was reported as saying that, then we could reference it, but even then what good would it serve. There is a difference between truth and snark. --[[User:Kschroe|Kschroe]] 13:45, 27 February 2009 (EST)

::::So what you are saying is that you won't re-do the article to standards as I suggested above, but will sit and identify what you think is opinion and try to remove only that without facts to back up the removal? [[User:Karajou|Karajou]] 13:49, 27 February 2009 (EST)

===How's This?===
The religion of Barack Obama is a hotly debated subject by some people. Despite claiming himself as a [[Christian]], many doubt his claim and look for "secret signs" about his "true religion". Here we shall lay out the cases for the 3 major arguments about Barack's religion: the case for him being either [[Christian]], [[Muslim]], or [[Agnostic]]/[[Atheist]].
-Christian-
* Self identifies as a Christian
* Was a member of a Baptist church for over 20 years
* Baptized in the early 1990's
* Married in a Christian church in 1992
* Celebrates the Christian holidays of Easter and Christmas
-Muslim-
* Speaks affectionately of the Muslim faith
* Uses proper Arabic pronunciation of some words
* Was taught the Muslim faith and principals as a child
* His name is Swahili, and has origins in the Arabic language
-Atheist/Agnostic-
* Has not regularly attended any religious service since severing his ties with his former church.
* Is involved in politics, which is in direct opposition to the Bible and Koran.
Is that what you were looking for Karajou? Of course, this is just a stub, much like this article, and can be expanded on. If you want to replace the current article with it, that's fine. Personally, I feel that the article, as it stands, should have an "Essay:" prefix in front of it. ==[[User:ShawnJ|ShawnJ]] 00:12, 28 February 2009 (EST)
