PE Barack Obama shows his Christianity OUTSIDE of church...

[monmouth]

It's laughable that the right seems upset that the Obamas have not attended church since the election. Of course, I haven't seen George Bush inside a church since the last State funeral, but that's beside the point.

All of this pi$$ing and moaning about church, yet here we have the PE and his family going out to his people in the community handing out Thanksgiving dinners and then visiting with children in a nearby school. What a joy he has given to his community this day. This will be the last holiday the Obamas will be able to meet and greet their friends in this manner for the next four/eight years.

Being INSIDE a church on a designated day, attending services is all well and good. I do admire however, those that actually conduct acts of christianity and kindness outside of church. Where it counts most. It matters not to me and many others whether the Obamas attend church or not, but the actions of the family says much more. Faux outrage of this nature is hypocritical. There are those who "Pardon" turkeys and those who hand them out with smiles and generosity. I'll take that second kind, along with some pie, thank you very much.

1. I believe what we are discussing here is hypocrisy. Those that go to church

and yet have no sympathy for the less fortunate as opposed to those who may or may not go to church, and yet somehow manage to make their entire lives a dedication to those less fortunate than they are.

3. Amen! And who is to say that he has not attending church?

Maybe he worships in private.

7. the bible admonishes you to do that. don't be seen in public

all full of false piety. pray in secret. A life without works is no life lived. He is living his faith. God is pleased.

4. This is the true meaning of love thy neighbor...

Demonstrating it.

5. Obama LOUDLY showed his Biblical knowledge at the Forum. Matthew 25:35-

which would not have been missed by the RW nutjobs. McCain went straight to his POW cross-in-the-sand-story from 40+ years ago.

6. i don't think they ever attended

church on a regular basis. i remember in an interview, they said it was hard with the kids especially when they were very young.

8. Mmm. Pie.

You know, I wasn't going to make one, but now I'm thinking that I would like some pie tomorrow . . .

9. There are more important things at hand...

and church is not one of them.

10. Barack Obama has always been kind and thoughtful of others

sincere

unlike some...
