Date: 11/17/2008
Obama's interview with Cathleen Falsani, recently published on Beliefnet, has re-ignited not only some political wars but religious fights that have persisted for almost 2,000 years: what does it mean to be a Christian? Joe Carter , Rod Dreher, Rick Santorum and several posters in the comment area of the blog post have suggested that Obama can't call himself a Christian since he seems t ...

Is Barack Obama a Christian?
Date: 11/17/2008
In the last post, I highlighted Michael Brendan Dougherty's contention that Americans are theologically illiterate. Well, here's Exhibit A: a fascinating, and illuminating, controversy started by Joe Carter, who questioned whether or not Barack Obama is a Christian. As a statement of minimal Christian orthodoxy -- that is, what it is necessary to believe to be a Christian -- the Nicene Creed is ...

This Just In: Obama Not Orthodox
Date: 11/17/2008
Based on remarks President-elect Obama made to Cathleen Falsani four years ago (and recently reprinted on Beliefnet ), there's been a dustup over whether he can legitimately be said to be a Christian: Joe Carter at Culture11 says no . Rod Dreher echoes him . Tony Jones says Yes He Can . Steve Waldman points out that if Barack Obama isn't strictly orthodox in his theology (pa ...

Christians do takfir on Obama
Date: 11/17/2008
Takfir is what excommunication is called in Islam - the process of declaring someone to be outside the faith. This is a pernicious concept because it is usually used by self-appointed guardians of the faith to try and impose their own strict interpretations on others. In many ways, it's as much a political act as a religious one. This is why I find it interesting to see that President-elect Obama ...

Christian Gate Keepers Declare Obama Not Christian
Date: 11/17/2008
Crunchy Con's Rod Dreher has joined with Joe Carter to declare that Obama is not a Christian . What do you think?  Do you have to believe everything in the Nicene Creed to be a Christian?  Is the Nicene Creed open to interpretation?  By heterdox Christology, does Dreher imply that there is only one way Christians have approached the divinity of Jesus? What do people gain by saying that anoth ...

Obama's Fascinating Interview with Cathleen Falsani
Date: 11/11/2008
The most detailed and fascinating explication of Barack Obama's faith came in a 2004 interview he gave Chicago Sun Times columnist Cathleen Falsani when he was running for U.S. Senate in Illinois. The column she wrote about the interview has been quoted and misquoted many times over, but she'd never before published the full transcript in a major publication. Because of how controversial that in ...

SNL's Victoria Jackson: Obama is the Anti-Christ (Seriously) and "sooooo evil"
Date: 10/28/2008
Politico reports that Victoria Jackson, formerly of Saturday Night Live, appears in a new ad featuring Republicans of Hollywood. On her website , she explains some of the reasons she opposes Obama: Your statements are New Age, relativist, & humanist. Basically, they are textbook comments that go back to the first sin in the Garden of Eden, when the serpent lied and told Adam and Eve that they ...

Obama Isn't a Real Christian, Cont'd
Date: 08/07/2008
Rick Santorum apparently wasn't the first to say Obama wasn't a real Christian. Conservative columnist Cal Thomas said that because Obama, in an interview with Chicago Sun-Times columnist Cathleen Falsani , left open the possibility that someone might go to heaven without believing in Christ as savior: Obama can call himself anything he likes, but there is a clear requirement for one to qua ...
