[QUOTE="Btodd, post: 48630799, member: 14939"] 50/50? This is denial. If you meet 100 atheists, do you expect that around 50 or so will not believe in evolution? People are atheists for a lot of reasons, too. Please answer that. And this isn't solely about creation/evolution, it's about a literal reading of the Bible, which has more dangerous connotations in regard to foreign policy than American science. Having heard Obama speak about faith, and questions pertaining to it, I feel more comfortable that he's not dogmatic about it (his poor, yet well-intentioned answer to the question of 'when life begins' in regard to abortion is a good example), and don't have reason to suspect him, or John McCain, as believing a literal Bible. His positions alone (abortion, gay rights) spell that out. But if you can show me that Obama's church states in their official beliefs, like I pointed out with Palin's, and that Obama's denomination is founded on literalism (like I pointed out with Palin's), then you are correct....I would have as much right to suspect Obama as Palin. Pentacostal beliefs are founded on a literal reading of the Bible. Btodd [/QUOTE]
