And apparently it's projected to be quite close. I don't know, I don't think either candidate is that great.
That is one very misleading statement. You may be correct that both candidates are "not that great", but that doesn't make them at all similar. One, Obama, is less than ideal (in the opinion of many here) while the other (Romney) is an absolute disaster. Does that mean there is no difference between the two? Only in the minds of those who have not lived through much history and aren't informed -or- those who have lived through some history but have been unable to learn from it.
Personally I think Obama is intellectually superior to every single person on this website, hands down and myself included. He happens to inhabit the oval office at a time when the whole republican party has gone renegade, intent on tearing down the country enough to make "anyone else" seem a better choice. So should we vote in such a way as to get the member of that party elected? Should they profit from their reckless destructiveness? You know what I think.
Apropos the OP, I voted "not an atheist" but I suspect he has found a nuanced, deist stance which allows him to speak symbolically about the person of Jesus in a way that makes him electable (except by those who believe the republican accusations that he is a foreign born Muslim socialist).

They are similar in that they are both politicians and neither is suitable for office. When faced with such a choice,one chooses the least aweful if one cannot avoid both. I have not and will not vote for party. I do not think capable. Last election I voted for an independent in the lower house and the greens in the Senate .

smart and educated people.
The man is not smart, and like the Germans sold out the Jews in the Munich Olympics, Obama is selling out America to socialism and Islam, no respectable president of America would bow before anyone.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Wow.
And I thought you were wrong about religion!
Lets look at your claim that Obama is selling out America to Socialism.
I assume you are talking about Obamacare.
You do know that the health care system you have at the moment is the most expensive and least effective in the 1st world.
Obamacare is supposed to fix this as best it can given that it has been hacked by the republicans.
Honestly to watch Americans voting against their interests like you, its like seeing Turkeys voting for Christmas.
America is NOT turning more socialist, if anything it is drifting more and more to the right and that includes Obama.
And selling out America to Islam.
How exactly?
I do not know of anything that Obama has down that can be seen that way.
Do you get all your information from Fox and other rabidly right wing "news" sources.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis.

Than why do socialists seem so unhappy with the man, and why do Muslims find themselves either A: on the other side of ironsights, or B: cast in the role of village punching bag? Who sold you this garbage?

Hitler selling out the Jews in the Munich Olympics.... lol wut?
I get that in the US, some states teach minimal history lessons, and in some cases, none, or in some cases, revisionist nonsense. But you sir, are a cretin. He didn't sell them out at the Olympics.
There were boycotts of Jewish businesses in the early 1930's.
Quote:In 1933, persecution of the Jews became active Nazi policy
The Nuremburg Laws were introduced in 1935, the Olympics where a full 1 year later.
Socialism, the subject on which you speak, you know nothing.

And as we know, education does not equal intelligence.
Do I think Obama is an atheist? No.
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Oh, I forgot to answer the actual question.
Do I think Obama is an atheist? I really don't care... why should it matter?

I've got to give GC some credit, because he has managed in one sentence to succinctly sum up what is wrong with this country. It just wasn't in the way he inteded.
