Why the fuck would I care if it helps Obama?
Moron.
Because you are arguing against those who are pointing out what Obama listened to in Rev Wright's Church for 20 years.
Now there has to be a reason WHY you object to those obvervations about Rev Wright's Church.
Now, either Obama fully knew what Wright was saying, agreed with it and that's why he went to that Church.
OR Obama was being "forced" to go (as you suggest) by his family.
If you don't care about Obama, then why make so many excuses for him?
It just doesn't wash.
What I have been doing is arguing that we can never truly know what is in another's heart. If you haven't read the whole thread, or at least my part in it, that's where this all started. I just said that it's not a fact what Obama believed, not that he didn't believe it. I am just saying that only Obama himself can know for certain. I have no problem with anyone who thinks he was a devoted follower of Wright. The discussion simply got a bit out of hand when I was attacked for my original statement.
I've let this get to me, which I usually don't do with message board stuff (or at least, I usually don't let that translate into my posting). I'd like to let this whole thing go as a case of me being unclear in what I mean.

This only applies to those who call themself Christian and obama has done that
so without any further delay:
Mathew 7 :16
Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
1 John 2:4
He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.
