Religion of Barack Obama being [or not being] Islamic doesnt matter!

Ok overall Patrick u seem 2 b a pretty intelligent guy, I respect that. Unlike many on this site u back your arguments with philosophy, and facts, as opposed to biased opinion. U seem like the type of guy I could get along with in reality, but I gotta say that some of your words are heavy with ignorance. First and foremost; I'd like to say how disgusted I am with your views on the theft of native American land. I have Cherokee blood in me, coming from my great, great, grandmother, and I will admit that the conquest of foreign lands is often necessary to secure and expand ones own boundaries; but to truly conquer a people and their lands, you must gain a positive hold over their minds, and beliefs, [though in most cases this is bad too] but come on dude, a GENOCIDE!, and whats worse is that many of them were rapped and enslaved, murdered by means of biological warfare, and forced to watch their lands be taken by invaders who had owned them their lives! Rather then kill them all out, despite the fact that many natives wanted to help the settlers, why not simply coexist with them. The natives were ready and willing to do as such, but the settlers [or should I say slavers] became greedy, and rather simply take what they were given, they decided they wanted more! Despite what I've just said to u, yes I do agree, sometimes u gotta do a little dirt [or in this case, alot of dirt] to assure a greater good, its just the way u begin your conquest that counts for weather u were wrong or not. Do not slaughter, or enslave, the natives, of a land but simply coexist with them if at all possible, and if impossible then get them to believe as u do, in a positive fashion. [we should start a debate on this topic, after this 1] With that being said, BACK TO THE DEBATE! [lol] I must agree with the fact that yes in many cases a persons religion can hold them down, and in the case of a president, it could also hold down the rest of the country. When you were talking about that messiah thing im guessing you were referring to those of the Jewish faith. Yes you present a valid point, but any Jewish man that believed that the time of the savior was soon to come, probably wouldn't waste their time running for president, especially if they'd just slow down the progress of America in the process. Thats just common sense. Anyone in this situation that would run for president would probably only do it to better the country before judgement day, and it that case it would be a good thing. If I thought the world was soon to end then I'd do all the repenting humanly possible, [either that or i'd have fun in my last moments] and if at all possible i'd try to help as many along the way as I could. If we had a president like this then I'm pretty sure that we'd have more benefits then negative repercussions. On another note I'd have to say that weather a person actually "manifests their beliefs" into their behavior doesn't matter either. Though we have a First Amendment's right to express our religions as we see fit, our beliefs must be separated from our state. "Separation of church and state", thats what we call it, so once again, what a president believes doesn't matter because he cannot apply it to his political decisions. In fact the state is at fault for not following up on that law because of the fact that we have the overall concept of God integrated into much of our society. "One nation UNDER GOD..." is in our pledge of allegiance, "In GOD we trust" is printed on our currency", and while in court a security guard asks "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, or so help you GOD?" Im not saying that this is a bad thing, for I believe in God too, but if the state is at fault and is too lazy to act on their OWN LAWS, then why must the president be bound to their hypocritical views of political correctness. Obama and any other person who wishes to be president is completely entitled to believe as they wish. No matter what that may be, they have the right to a swift, respectful, and fair election. FYI. I knew Obama wasn't muslim, but a few other idiots did not, and wouldn't accept him if he were.
