nah, as much as I am not a huge fan of Barack, nothing in that interview suggested to me in the least that he hates christianity.

On the contrary it appears that he admits that Christianity like other organized religions base themselves off important moral values. However he warns against the literal use of religious moral code because it would alienate other non christians from the descision making process on morality.

I believe he was right to say that Christianity does not hold a monopoly on morality, and that there are many ways of interpreting what is moral and what is not in certain circumstances.

I do not agree with him however, on most other things. But I have already gone on long enough.

I believe that Obama is probably an atheist in private, but I don't see how this video shows that he hates christianity.

So he came to Christianity because he already had similar 'core values'? I don't really see the point, unless he just wanted to add some 'supernatural' to his values for the fun of it.

I think Barack Obama is a Christian because it is very politically convenient and can be used to rally people around social causes. He probably wishes that it was true, but deep down doesn't believe it that much. He talks about Christianity as something more akin to a club, rather than a relationship he has with God and sin.

Thats my psychoanalysis of his religious views, to be honest he will just end up being a slightly more liberal version of Bush.

Interesting thoughts. I've suspected the same based on the generic replies he's given about his Christian faith, but it's hard to say because generally, liberal Christian's aren't exactly the most religious people and arguably, not even Christian.

That is not true at all, his assertions are clearly supported in this video.

Around 2:30 you can clearly see Barrack taking a leak on the King James Version Bible.

Well, you watched the director's cut. That doesn't count because it isn't what she linked.
