As a Christian and as a Pastor, I can only hope Obama does win, if for no other reason (though I do have others), than to answer these people making these outrageous claims about him. He is not Muslim. He is a Christian. He isn't a socialist. He's actually positioned himself to be fairly centrist, albeit to the progressive side. America is hardly going to be destroyed by his presidency if he is elected. This woman in a previous post reminds me of the woman at the McCain rally a few weeks ago who said Obama was an "Arab." It's so sad that we have people who believe the mistruths being told about Obama.
I, for one, will appreciate that his presidency would bring a wider Christian viewpoint into the public arena. We are not a nation of (only) right-wing Christians, though some recent presidents have acted as though we are. And it's time that the right leaning Christians accepted the reality that Christianity is a wider tent (or bigger ark, take your pick) then they have believed. And then they need to not be freaked out by it.
