When Was BHO BAPTIZED? Problem Hiding in Plain Sight

Submitted by Charles Martel (United States), Sep 16, 2012 at 23:53

Our bien pensant media writers - to a man and woman atheists of Jewish or Christian background - are falling over themselves to declare Obama "Christian", and to deride all critical voices as unsophisticated hicks.

This overlooks a simply problem for BHO: unlike Judaism or Islam, Christianity is NOT TRANSMITTED BY BIRTH. To BECOME a Christian in any recognized sense, a person needs to have been (a) baptized; and (b) confirmed or have received first communion. Careful records are kept of both events.

The correct question to ask ANY CHRISTIAN then becomes: on what date and by which priest/minister were you baptized? When and from which priest did you receive first communion? When and by which minister were you "confirmed"?
