And you could stop right there. My objection was not with what Obama thinks or cares about. It was with your dishonest portrayal of what he said. I hold no love for Obama, but dishonesty is dishonesty, no matter who it is directed towards.
Again, I am not defending what he did or didn't do. I am calling for honesty when you are talking about what he said. To use a portion of a quote to make him look bad is, simply put, lying. It is beneath a child of God to do so, and one shouldn't stoop to that level.
What in the world are you talking about? No one said anything about race. And no one said anything about not criticizing him. Criticize him all you want, for all I care. Just don't misrepresent what it means to be a Christian by being dishonest; and you did that by taking one sentence out of context and using it to say that Obama said one thing, when he was really saying the opposite.
I feel like I really need to drive home the my point of what you (and many other people) did by taking only one section of what Obama said and made it seem like he was saying things he didn't say. The following is a quote of what you actually said, CMG.
Wow, now you're just being stupid. You're ignoring the entire point I made, to talk absurdities. I never said I agreed with what Obama said. Forget Obama. It's not about him. It's about your dishonesty.
Again, you're being absurd. This has absolutely NOTHING to do with what we're talking about. You're not even close to the ballpark.
I am sorry if you cannot understand, but it in fact not only changed the meaning, it reversed it completely. Whether he was being honest or not, is another debate (I personally don't think he was being honest). But the fact is, in context it says the opposite of what you are wanting it to say.
Again, I'm not sure what you're getting at here. You're being slightly incoherent. Your meaning isn't clear. I can't answer this paragraph without some clarification.
I'll agree with this part.
Freedom of speech isn't about religion. It's about the ability to speak out against the government without repercussion. Religious freedom is what you're looking for, not freedom of speech.
And there you go again, misrepresenting what he said in order to twist it to your agenda. Again I will remind you that this is unbecoming a Christian. Speak to his actions, speak to his words, criticize him all you want. Lying is still wrong.
