Gov. Scott Walker: ‘I don’t know’ whether Obama is a Christian
Told that Obama has frequently spoken publicly about his Christian faith, Walker maintained that he was not aware of the president’s religion.
“I’ve actually never talked about it or I haven’t read about that,” Walker said, his voice calm and firm. “I’ve never asked him that,” he added. “You’ve asked me to make statements about people that I haven’t had a conversation with about that. How [could] I say if I know either of you are a Christian?”

The majority of Americans know 0bozo doesn't love America. The lefty press thinks it has the power to crucify people who say it out loud. A true Christian will verbally, repeatedly profess by word of mouth that they are Christian.

The lefty press gives 0bozo a pass because he openly hates the same Americans they hate. So, that's cool to them.

Walker is an evangelical and lied about his master's degree. Perhaps he is projecting on the POTUS the fact he himself isn't a true Christian.

He'll get there. It's the kind of red meat the base will want from whoever hopes to become the 2016 nominee.

did he ever say he had a master's degree from an accredited university?

Walker stated, “I’ve got a master’s degree in taking on the big government special interests, and I think that is worth more than anything else that anybody can point to.” he was using a metaphor

Even if that is the case, he still is an evangelical - below decks and steerage in the ark of para-Christianity - and even if that were not enough, what he said about the faith of another man contravenes the amendment that instructs believers not to bear false witness against their neighbors. Again, pot meets kettle.

Having said that, I'm not sure what he thought he'd accomplish that that asinine statement, other than to pander to Christian extremists. America is a secular nation where the religion or faith of those in office have little to do with anything.

Well it proves that a lot of what passes for political criticism has nothing to do with performance.

Since the birth of our nation, our country has embraced all manner of viewpoints and defended the right to speak freely. Even when that speech is not something the majority likes to hear. It is very difficult for anyone other than someone who agrees with your viewpoint to respond. For example, here is a sample of your very words laid out in a little different format:

1. He [sic Scott Walker] still is an evangelical; in the ark of para-Christianity

2. What he said about the faith of another man contravenes the amendment that instructs believers not to bear false witness against their neighbors

3. Again, pot meets kettle.

4. I'm not sure what he thought he'd accomplish that that asinine statement, other than to pander to Christian extremists.

5. America is a secular nation, where the religion or faith of those in office have little to do with anything.

My response:

1. Can you explain what it means for someone to:

a. Be "evangelical"?

b. What is your source for this conclusion?

2. Bear false witness? In today's language, that means "lie". You openly are accusing Scott Walker to lying in his response to the question as to whether or not he thinks Obama is a Christian. To your point, not a single word in his reply showed that he had the power or capacity to make that determination. Rather, he showed clear mindedness by showing there are only two sources for that answer: 1. From Obamas lips: 2. God, and god is not answering the phone.

3. Quantum and unsubstantiated leap. First, when it comes to Christian theology, most non-Christians and even weekend Christians go the "Don't judge" route. Instead, you went the "bear false witness" route. That means you believe Scott Walker fully lied in his reply and that it's evident he lied. The major trouble with your premise is the non-existence of anything remotely related to him saying he witness something that you believe was a lie.

4. Who are Christian Extremists, and how do you know if you met one?

5. Americans are not machines. Every breathing human on earth is a product of what's happening upstairs. That happening was formulated by their upbringing, trials, tribulations, successes, failures, faith or lack of it, religion or lack of it, and so on.

If a Christian asked you to dinner, would you ask for an escort, or just turn them down flat?

OBAMA:

I am a Christian.

So, I have a deep faith. So I draw from the Christian faith.

On the other hand, I was born in Hawaii where obviously there are a lot of Eastern influences.

I lived in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world, between the ages of six and 10.

My father was from Kenya, and although he was probably most accurately labeled an agnostic, his father was Muslim.

And I’d say, probably, intellectually I’ve drawn as much from Judaism as any other faith.

(A patron stops and says, “Congratulations,” shakes his hand. “Thank you very much. I appreciate that. Thank you.”)

So, I’m rooted in the Christian tradition. I believe that there are many paths to the same place, and that is a belief that there is a higher power, a belief that we are connected as a people. That there are values that transcend race or culture, that move us forward, and there’s an obligation for all of us individually as well as collectively to take responsibility to make those values lived.

Marvin, I'm sure you, as a Muslim man do not believe there are many paths to the same place. Do you believe the path to Muhammed is achieved by way of cheating on your wife? Or, by breaking one of the ten commandments?

I'm sure you don't.

I prefer not taking this into a theological breakdown, but Christian theology does not include multiple paths to God. There is one path. No one gets to the father except through him. If you claim you "ARE" then you must embrace the theology that came before you. Christianity does not provide for inventing your own theology.
