I was really shocked when I made the mistake of talking to one of my sister in laws about politics the other day before the election.
She told me she couldn't vote for Obama because he's a Muslim.
I laughed and said, No he's not. People complain that Obama is a Muslim, but then they turn around and complain that he said in a Christian church for 20 years listening to a crazy minister.
She told me that at one point during the campaign he said that he was going to campaign in all 57 states. And you know there are 57 Muslim states.
EXCUSE ME??? According to snopes.com there might be 52 Muslim states, or there might be 60 Muslim states. It all kind of depends on how you count them.
I said, So that's kind of like McCain calling an audience, His fellow prisoners? Come on, can't people make a slip of the tongue.
I asked her, So can any Muslim be president of the US? And her answer is what really floored me....
She said, No, because we are a Christian nation.
I said, No we're not.
She said, Yes we are. We were founded on Christian principles.
I was like, No we weren't. Have you read what some of our founding fathers said about religion?
From there I kind of let the conversation die.
Do people really feel that way?
I know, STUPID QUESTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If that is the case then there are some people in Congress that need to be kicked out. I know there are a few Jewish folks serving in Congress. Heck, McCain's right hand man, Joe Lieberman is Jewish. How about Mormons? Do they qualify as "Christian enough" to serve?
Seriously, I think this is a great example of why we were founded with a seperation of Church and State. Now if we could just follow that rule it would be great.
