Wow.
I thought this thread was about a ring that Obama has worn since he was at Harvard, which he thought enough of to turn into a wedding ring.
Now it suddenly turns into a birther thread.
How did that happen?

A politician's morality should not depend on his religion but his truthfulness.
I would much rather have an Atheist president...
3 years ago, I probably would have said the same thing...
Now I'm not so sure. When you trace the religion of Islam back to its inception, you find that it is simply a repackaged form of moon worship from Mystery Babylon. Atheism and lack of religion looks great on paper, but in reality it really doesn't entitle you to greater morality than anyone else. Trust is not about religion, it's about being true to your word, and bottom line is Obama has not been truthful but manipulative...edit on 10/9/2012 by DarkKnight21 because: (no reason given)

Jesus H. I struggle to know what is more pathetic "the birth certificate" or "the ring". This desperately pitiful stuff isn't it? See you folks who lap this up don't you talke a step back and say to yourself : Hmmm this is getting very silly and I'm part of it.......no more.
The world is going to hell in a hand basket:
Warming to life changing levels - note the Arctic
Antartica changing just as rapidly with profound consequences
Extensive flooding or extensive droughts ongoing and increasing in number and severity
Rain forests depleting rapidly with obvious impact on us all once they are destroyed forever.
Pathetic wars by pathetic extremists throughout the globe.
Greed on an almost unimaginable scale whilst millions go hungry IN THE WEST for christs sake.
etc etc
But oh no what's important "Obama's ring".

The answer to that is simple: if he reveals himself to be Muslim, that is effectively treason in the eyes of the citizens of the United States. If you are a true American leader, you will wear American clothes, eat American food, sleep on American soil...and you will have an American religion.
And since Muslims are generally associated with terrorism, admitting himself to be Muslim would be asociating himself with that school of thought, risking a steep decline in support for presidency. If he claims to be Christian, he is dissociating himself from the stigma attached to the Middle East. He doesn't want to be compared with our supposed "enemies", any more than the Arab kid in school wants to be.
It isn't rocket science.

You should not have to be a rich, white, protestant male backed by big interest groups to become president of the us of a. The fact so many people have this preconceived bias is quite troubling but accepted none-the-less.
No wonder asians, blacks, catholics, native americans, etc NEVER become president.
Heck even getting a third party more than 1 percent is feat of tremendous importance.
And people wonder why america is so screwed!
I would rather have a muslim, since I normally cheer for the underdog anyway, than have a lying crusader who will stop at nothing to conquer the middle east for oil, narcotics and pride. Some people should leave the holy crusades to die already, its been too long!
