How can Obama be a Christian with this quote from his book:?

Here, in our pseudo-Christian president’s own words, is his answer to his daughter's question about life after death... "I wondered whether I should have told her the truth, that I wasn't sure what happens when we die, any more than I was sure of where the soul resides or what existed before the Big Bang."

    He isn't.

    I go away to prepare a place for you that where I am you may also be.

    For God so loved the world that He gave His ONLY begotten Son, that whosever believeth on Him should not perish but have life everlasting.

    For me to die is gain, to live is Christ.

    No, 0bama is probably not a believer in Christ Jesus as Son of God, Deliverer, Messiah, King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Prince of Peace.....

    Anyone can make the claim to being Christian, but very few are true followers,very doubtful this liar is anything he claims, most likely he is a closet Muslim on a mission to eliminate Jews and Christians in america!.

    Dude, just because you're Christian doesn't mean you can't have doubts. So what if he doubts life beyond death? Everyone (who isn't completely stupid) does at one point or another. It's called a crisis of faith. And just remember, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you (Matthew 7:1-2)"

    Neocon, I could not care less what Obama's religion is. The reason for this I'm neither bigot, nor racist and liar. Only Republicans and Right Wingers are keep raising those silly and ignorant questions in hopes that it will change something or will benefit them in any way whatsoever.

    It's the honest answer of a lot of us. How can we know these things? I guess your opinion re his answer just depends on how much you think. It must be nice to be so sure about things that you have no questions about them. Some of us do nothing but ask questions. It's what lubricates our brains, helps us refine our thoughts and keeps our lives intellectually interesting;-)

    Soooooooo...........Christians aren't allowed to have questions about what happens when they die, where their soul resides, and the possibility of a Big Bang?

    So much for "tolerance" eh..

    I think it makes him brilliant that he doesn't just have blind faith, it shows he thinks for himself.

    Props to O.

    Just because he can't be certain, doesn't mean he doesn't have faith. He is a man with a background in law, and to pretend he knew something that he could not possibly know is not something a man of law is likely to do. They're very precise and accurate when it comes to expression and words. Or they strive to be.
