"I believe that there are many paths to the same place"

Obama missed a great opportunity on this one.  He should have preemptively had one of his MSM stooges ask McCain'

"Do you believe that there are many paths to the same place"

Show of hands, Who thinks McCain's reply would have been any different than Obama's statement?

The candidate template reduces every issue to pablum, and when both pugilists are doing the rope-a-dope the best tapdancer wins.

But here's another angle.  Maybe Obama made the statement knowing it hangs out there now for McCain to answer.

"That depends, Obama says, on how a particular verse from the Gospel of John, where Jesus says, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me," is heard."

As I have suspected all along, Obama is a moral relativist.  Exactly how many ways are there to 'hear' a statement?  Obama carefully avoids the word, 'interpret', which would trumptet his moral relativism to anyone who understood what moral relativism is.

We heard this same sort of thing from Bill Clintion, "It depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is."

From Wright and others, Obama learned that part of his problem as an
organizer was that he was trying to build a confederation of churches
but wasn't showing up in the pews on Sunday. When pastors asked him the
inevitable questions about his own spiritual life, Obama would duck
them uncomfortably. A Reverend Philips put the problem to him squarely
when he learned that Obama didn't attend services. "It might help your
mission if you had a church home," he told Obama. "It doesn't matter
where, really. What you're asking from pastors requires us to set aside
some of our more priestly concerns in favor of prophesy. That requires
a good deal of faith on our part. It makes us want to know just where
you're getting yours from."

After many lectures like this, Obama decided to take a second look
at Wright's church. Older pastors warned him that Trinity was for
"Buppies"--black urban professionals--and didn't have enough street
cred. But Wright was a former Muslim and black nationalist who had
studied at Howard and Chicago, and Trinity's guiding principles--what
the church calls the "Black Value System"--included a "Disavowal of the
Pursuit of Middleclassness.'"

The crosscurrents appealed to Obama. He came to believe that the
church could not only compensate for the limitations of Alinsky-style
organizing but could help answer the nagging identity problem he had
come to Chicago to solve. "It was a powerful program, this cultural
community," he wrote, "one more pliant than simple nationalism, more
sustaining than my own brand of organizing."

"As a result, over the years, Wright became not only Obama's pastor, but his mentor. The title of Obama's recent book, The Audacity of Hope,
is based on a sermon by Wright. (It's worth noting, however, that,
while Obama's book is a coolheaded appeal for common ground in an age
of political polarization, Wright's sermon, "The Audacity to Hope," is
a fiery jeremiad about persevering in a world of nuclear arms and
racial inequality.) Wright is one of the first people Obama thanked
after his Senate victory in 2004, and he recently name-checked Wright
in his speech to civil rights leaders in Selma, Alabama."

I also found this excerpt interesting.....

"On
a Sunday morning two weeks before he launches his presidential
campaign, Obama is at Trinity United Church of Christ on the South
Side, gently swaying from side to side under a giant iron cross. From
the outside, the church looks more like a fortress than a house of
worship, with high whitewashed brick walls topped with security
cameras. Inside, Trinity is the sort of African American community that
the young Obama longed to connect with when he first came to Chicago.
The church's motto is "unashamedly black and unapologetically
Christian," and sunlight streams through stained glass windows
depicting the life of a black Jesus. The Reverend Doctor Jeremiah A.
Wright Jr., Trinity's pastor since 1972, flies a red, black, and green
flag near his altar and often preaches in a dashiki. He has spent
decades writing about the African roots of Christianity, partly as a
way to convince young blacks tempted by Islam that Christianity is not
"a white man's religion."

"On this particular Sunday, the sea of black worshippers is dotted with a few white folks up in the balcony, clutching copies of The Audacity of Hope
they've brought for Obama's book-signing later. Obama, sitting in the
third row with his wife and two daughters, Malia and Natasha, stands,
claps, prays, and sways along with the rest of the congregation. During
the sermon, he watches the preacher carefully and writes notes. When
asked by Wright to say a few words, Obama grabs the microphone and
stands. "I love you all," he says. "It's good to be back home." The
150-person choir breaks into a chorus of "Barack, Hallelujah! Barack,
Hallelujah!"

demoncrat hussein in his account of his conversion to Christianity does not say which religion he converted from, does not say that he accepted Jesus as his lord and savior, does not say that he repented of his sins, and does not say that Jesus is his only guide.Remember that satan also believes in Jesus, has faith in Jesus, knows and qoutes scripture, and is the father of lies. These two do not follow Jesus, but they are birds of a feather.

The obamessiah said of Christ - "I submitted myself to his will and I dedicated myself to discovering his truth and carrying out his works."

So is it God's will to murder the unborn and babies who survive abortion?

Is it God's will to institute same sex marriage as a sacrament?

On the other hand, BO can keep blasting gas and someone someday soon, not McCain, will take him up on it.

Millions for them to support their faith initiatives.

Obama's Real Religion

. . .I let Jesus Christ into my life. I learned that my sins could be redeemed and that if I placed my trust in Christ, that he could set me on the path to eternal life when I submitted myself to his will and I dedicated myself to discovering his truth and carrying out his works."

Jesus's will and His Works do not include abortion.  Period.

The other secular humanist drivel of many paths to the same god crap is straight outta Wright's twisted black liberation theology.

Obama is everyman to these Media clowns:

- Christian and Muslim

- Secular Humanist and Deist

- Ebony and Ivory

- American and Expatriot

Whatever he tells them, they accept willingly and move on.

hussein revealed that he is not a christian with his statement "there are many paths to the same place". he supports everything unchristian, abortion, homosexuality, hatred, to mention a few.

If he claims to be a Christian, he needs to tell us when and where he was baptized.  I have asked the Obama campaign on several occasions to provide that info and they have ignored by requests. Something is rotten in the state of denial.
