Would Obamas openness to new revelations through the Living Word affect his decisions as President?

He has stated his belief that much of our law is grounded in the Judeo-Christian tradition, and that it is absurd to think that men and women should not inject their personal morality into public policy. He has stated that abortion is a deeply moral issue, and has said he is open to the possibility that his position on choice may not be infallible.

To his credit, he has said that despite his objection to gay marriage based on his religious traditions, he is also open to the possibility that this may not be correct.

he has made his presidential policies well known.

I don't know if the quotes attributed to him are accurate or not. And my answer to the question is "I don't know."

Bottom line; In order to change any law, he's got to ram it through Congress.

And the reason I haven't is because of how laws are made--they've gotta start out in Congress, and that Senate "cooling saucer" will nip any of that Jesus shit in the bud, no matter who is President.

Certainly, you can pull out every "Jeeeeebus" statement every candidate has made, and cull through them to try to find meaning, if you'd like. It would be an exercise in opinion, nothing more, and is probably better discussed in the RELIGION forum, actually!

There's no way we can know the answers to a LOT of questions. We can toss out opinions, but that's all they are.

After all, Monkeyboy stated decisively that he was the best guy to be PretzelDunce because HE could "Jawbone" those guys in thobes to "Open the spigots." Apparently, he forgot to tell them that "Lefty Loosey, Rightie Tightie"--otherwise, we wouldn't be paying three bucks for a gallon of gas.

decisions. The best we can do is look at the voting records of the candidates and see how faith has influenced them in the pass. It seems the respective faiths of Obama, Clinton, and Edwards seem to direct them towards voting pretty much party-line Democrat.

This seems kind of silly ground to try to attack Obama on.

:bounce:

Its completely absurd that someone would make decisions of international importance based on a 2000 year old book of myths. But the problem is, every single candidate expresses support for that book so that kind of limits my options.

why isn`t a clinton issue also? is that that obama speaks openly about how he feels about religious history and how he feels personally about issues that most reasonable americans are conflicted with?
