Separation of Church and State...or Not?

And all this time folks were saying that a President's faith or beliefs did not influence his policy making.

 

Hello again false premise troll.:wavey:

 

And once again false premise troll, go away and leave the responding to the folks who are dealing with the article.:wavey:

 

You hear it in the media all the time when folks speak of separation of church and state. This is not the first time Obama has given this type of interview. If I recall correctly, he flat came out and said that his faith influences his policy decisions. Yet none of the separation of church and state crowd seemed to take issue with that.

And what do you believe the premise to be?

 

American Atheists Billboards Go After Presidential Candidates’ Faith
August 13, 2012

American Atheists just put up two new billboards that go after President Obama‘s Christianity and Mitt Romney‘s Mormonism (though they never mention the candidates by name):


The billboards will be located in Charlotte, NC, where the Democratic National Convention will be held, September 3 – 6, 2012. All companies contacted in Tampa, Florida, where the Republican National Convention will be held, refused to display the billboard focusing on Mormonism.

Mr. Silverman said, “The election of our leaders in the United States is one of the most important decisions that we as citizens make. Allowing our judgment to be clouded by sheer silliness is unacceptable. We want to show the people of our country the foolishness of mixing religion with politics.”

Teresa MacBain, Public Relations Director stated, “Our great country was founded on the secular ideals of the Constitution. Allowing religion to be the litmus test of our candidates undermines the very core of our freedoms.” Ms. MacBain continued, “Article VI of the Constitution states, ‘no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification’ for those desiring public office. How can we disregard our governing principles so blatantly?”

American Atheists Billboards

 

That's not what I said. People in the media, atheists, and secularists have said that a President's faith should not influence his policy making.

The folks on here have said faith doesn't matter because we're electing a President and not a Pastor.

And stop being lazy.:laugh: Y'all act like every detail of every conversation has to be laid out for you. You know how to search the internet and see how many times folks have said that faith doesn't matter or that faith should not influence a President's policy making.

Goodness folks on this board have either said or alluded to it enough times that the President's faith doesn't matter because we're electing a commander in chief and not a pastor in chief.

Some of y'all just looking for excuses.

Role of Personal Faith in the Presidency

 

And if a President's faith means so little, why do they all stomp about their "Christianity"? Why all the visits to church with the cameras as election day nears?

 

Folks on Baptist Board, just like a lot of atheists, etc, have stated that a President's faith should not affect his policy decisions.

Barack Obama stated in February that his faith affects those decisions.

It seems like folks on here might just be scared that people are gonna start thinking that Romney's Mormon faith will affect his decision making and they don't want to go down that path.

Which is why I asked the question. If we're just electing a commander in chief and not a"pastor in chief" as so many have eloquently said...if we really are supposed to have separation of church and state as so many liberals are always spouting, then why has no one said anything about Obama's faith influencing his politics?

 

I'm beginning to know that you are a troll.:wavey:
