People generally think of him as being that but yet he's also he kind of isn't, not if you really want to be technical about it. He just kind of looks that way so that's what he may as well be, but you know it's not as simple as that. Does he believe in God? Sure. Does he believe in the Holy Trinity? Probably not but no-ones going to grill him over it.
Because if you're 'only half-black' you're not black, right?
Got to love all of the qualifies, special pleading, and general hilarity around here lately
I think that's kinda what he's saying: Barak Obama strikes him as kinda half-Christian.
And that's where most Christians are, really. They believe i certain parts of their church or their theology or their holy book, but they dismiss others. I believe I've heard them called 'cherry pickers' or 'cafeteria Christians.'
