Once again I have come across propaganda claiming President Obama is a Muslim. It seems this stuff is out there no matter where you turn. What does it matter whether he is or isn't? For that matter what does it matter that his challenger is of the Mormon faith? The people who continue to make this election about a candidate’s faith are no better than the Taliban we are fighting and in fact, have more in common with them than they can fathom.
If we adhere to the separation of church and state that founding father and President Thomas Jefferson felt so strongly in favor of, then it should not matter whether the president is Mormon, Church of Christ, or even Muslim. Personally, I believe it is about the policies and vision for our collective future and not their belief in what happens when we die, that should determine which candidate we support. It is this vision for our collective future that every American voter should concern themselves with and not whether a candidate prays or to whom they pray.
Speaking as a Catholic, neither of the presidential candidates shares my faith yet I have the utmost faith that they both love this country dearly and wish to see it succeed. I simply believe that President Obama’s vision is in line with mine and that Governor Romney’s vision was proven unsuccessful from 2001-2009. Their faiths do not and should not have any bearing upon my vote. Governor Romney being Mormon or President Obama being Church of Christ has no more bearing on their qualifications or patriotism than it would if one or both both of them were Muslim, Hindu or Atheist for that matter.
For your entertainment, here is a links to the video and website that inspired me to vent in the form of this post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HkjFc3S21nY; http://www.infiltratednation.com/2012/10/the-obama-timeline-can-it-all-be.html?spref=fb
