Debating The Religion Of A Functioning Atheist

With the release of a recent poll showing that 20 percent of Americans think that Barack Obama is a Muslim, the leftist media has gone apoplectic...and, of course, the media on the right has gone apoplectic as well, in response to the left.

Basically, the Left points out that the right is stupid for believing that President Obama is a Muslim, and the Right defends the 20 percent by pointing out President Obama's Muslim heritage and all of the favoritism President Obama has shown to Islam during his tenure as president.

I say, who cares?

There is no reason to defend or rebuke anyone over this poll result, because it really doesn't matter what religion President Obama says he identifies with, or what religion or religions he shows particular favor to in his policy decisions: President Obama is, for all intents and purposes, a functioning atheist.  His religion is anti-Americanism.  He is god unto himself.

As soon as he was elected, President Obama stopped attending church. He says that this is because he doesn't want to tie up traffic, but I'm not buying it - he ties up traffic wherever he travels, and I have yet to hear him apologize for it.  What's more, he doesn't seem to have any issues with tying up traffic at the country club - he plays a round of golf almost every weekend.

President Obama professes to be a Christian, but his Christianity is not something he is proud of - the church he attended in Chicago was part of one of the most extreme sects of American Christianity I have ever heard of.  But it does make sense: the anti-American aspects of Black Liberation Theology seem to fit pretty well with President Obama's overall opinion of America.  The only problem for the President is, to normal Americans, Black Liberation Theology comes across as extreme as the Westboro Baptists - you know, the "God hates fags" church.  The only difference is, because Black Liberation Theology fits more with the liberal worldview, it doesn't generate as much press as Wesboro.

But it really doesn't matter whether President Obama is a Muslim, a Christian, a Hindu, or a Buddhist, because according to his actions, he may as well be an atheist.  After all, Atheism is the best fit with modern liberalism, where the State basically functions as God.

So what does it matter if 1 in 5 Americans think President Obama is a Muslim?  He gives more deference to Islam than he does to Christianity, but as far as his public policy & lifestyle since taking office go, it's quite obvious that religion doesn't play a significant role in the Obama presidency.

The only reason this poll garnered so much media attention is because it gave the leftist media another opportunity to portray the right as a bunch of stupid hicks, and it gave the right another opportunity to point out the favoritism Obama has shown toward Islam.  In the end, though, it's all just a bunch of hot air.  Obama is just another liberal atheist.  He is god, and the Congress, the courts, and the bureaucrats are his angels as he sits in Washington D.C. (or wherever he happens to be vacationing this week) and dispenses his benevolent tyranny.

  

This Is The Peaceful Religion

This story has been developing over the last few days, but it has now taken a most bizarre (yet predictable) turn:

A British teacher who was working in the Sudan was arrested not long ago on charges of insulting Islam. Her crime: she allowed the students working in her classroom to name a teddy bear, and the name they chose was "Mohammed." As it turns out, one of the students in her class was named Mohammed, and the class decided to name the bear after him. Unfortunately for Gillian Gibbons, however, this fact makes no difference to the Islamofascists in the Sudan.

Gibbons has been sentenced to 15 days in jail and subsequent deportation, but that is not enough for the radicals, who took to the streets in protest, saying that Gibbons should be killed. This is the true nature of Islam: complete intolerance. Why the liberals defend this religion is beyond me. First it was riots over cartoons, now it's mobs protesting over an elementary school class naming a teddy bear. Gibbons has been moved to a secret location by the Sudanese government in order to protect her from the mob.

Oh, and for all of the liberal wackos out there who say that Christianity is just as dangerous as radical Islam, try going to Vatican City or any evangelical Protestant church with a teddy bear named "Jesus," and see if you get the same results as Gibbons (who, as it turns out, may have just been the victim of a "vindictive school secretary").

My guess is, we won't see any uprising of moderate Muslims in Europe and the U.S. denouncing the actions of their fascist brethren. CAIR and similar organizations are all too willing to defend the actions of Imams acting like terrorists on a US airliner, but they don't really want to improve "American-Islamic relations." They want the kind of Islamic law that is practiced in the Sudan to come here. Anyone with any modicum of common sense should be able to see that Islam is dangerous...Muslims in the Middle East are always providing us with new examples.
