Obama’s Muddled Religious Views

Obama talks religion and confuses pretty much everyone:

Obama: There’s the belief, certainly in some quarters, that people haven’t embraced Jesus Christ as their personal savior that they’re going to hell.

Falsani: You don’t believe that?

Obama: I find it hard to believe that my God would consign four-fifths of the world to hell. I can’t imagine that my God would allow some little Hindu kid in India who never interacts with the Christian faith to somehow burn for all eternity. That’s just not part of my religious makeup.

Now, I’m not a religious person, but isn’t believing that your particular flavor of worship is the right one and everyone else’s is wrong pretty much the reason why we have so many different religions?  I mean, what’s the point of being Catholic or Lutheran or Buddhist or Muslim if it’s all just the same thing?  How can you claim to belong to the one true faith if there isn’t really any distinction between yours and theirs in the end?

I mean, I know what Obama’s getting at.  It’s all that “one world” and “one faith” utopian pap liberals like Obama enjoy going on about, but it’s a pretty muddled view of religion I think.

And it’s pretty odd coming from a member of Rev. Jeremiah “God Damn America” Wright’s church.
