Response to Original message
90.  "I guess this country will be having a muslim president ." said
a childhood friend of mine at a weekend party. I said ," Well, who would that be?"
"Obama." was the sured response.
"He is a Christian!." I proclaimed flatly.

But he was educated in the Koran in a muslin school"

"He went to a school that had Christan and Muslin students that does not make him a muslim . His father was Muslim that does not make him a Muslim." I flatly laid out again.

The next sentence from his mouth was, "Well, I didn't like what his preacher had to say!"

To which I responded. That black churches have their own style of worship and if you were the pastor of a black church, wouldn't you say GD any country that treated your parishioners as second citizens?

His eyes were big in the way you know they are startled into a world that has no floor. "It's hard to know what to believe". he said.

I agreed, then told him not to listen to any one. Just watch what they do and who profits from their actions.

I don't know but I think I may have cracked some light into that vast unused mind behind those happy and self absorbed eyes.

It seems we are still friends -- Time will tell.

Forgive my writing. My punctuation is probably a mess but I really had to relate to your experience.
