Barack Obama, in his own words, on Islam and Christianity: "Barack Obama self-identifies as a Christian.  He seems, though, to find Christianity troubling.  Meanwhile, although he denies being a Muslim, he obviously finds it an emotionally and aesthetically attractive belief system.  Why do I say this?  Because someone was good enough to assemble a list of his statements about both religions, and to put them side-by-side:"

Or he tries to justify such stupidity by redefining “nothing” as something, which borders on crazy-talk."
