17. My argument is that someone who self-identifies...
but whose stated beliefs, actions, and behaviors are the antithesis of that with which he self-identifies, is not what he professes. I guess the word for that is imposter. By contrast, I know of nothing that suggests Obama does not at least seek to live his life in keeping with the tenets with which he identifies. He doesn't manifest hatred towards non-believers, want to put homosexuals to death, suggest that women are less than equal, as those who profess to be Christians, but live the literal word of the OLD TESTAMENT in ignorance of the New, do. Yes, I consider fundamentalists who likewise profess to be Christians but ignore the New Testament and the tenets put forth by Jesus to likewise be imposters, even if they self-identify as Christians.


I can claim to be an Newtonian physicist, but if I deny the principles of gravity, then exactly what am I?
