The discussion centers around the perception of Barack Obama's faith and its implications for the separation of church and state in American politics. Participants express skepticism about the authenticity of Obama's Christianity, suggesting he may be using religion for political gain. The conversation highlights the tension between faith and rationality, with some arguing that intelligent individuals can still hold religious beliefs, while others assert that many rational thinkers are non-believers. The importance of maintaining a clear divide between church and state is emphasized, with references to historical figures and biblical teachings that support this separation. The thread also touches on the broader societal implications of religious beliefs in politics, including the challenges faced by politicians who may not conform to traditional religious expectations. Overall, the dialogue reflects a complex interplay of faith, politics, and the quest for unity in a diverse society.

Well, I'm not going to do that. But if you want your money, I would be more than willing to pay up. On friday nights my friends and I usually go to fed hill. It would not be a hassle...

I just noticed this. If this isn't a joke, and you guys both live in the same vicinity it's kind of creepy that you're asking Cyrus to meet you somewhere at night. Unless the two of you already know each other personally.

If that's just a joke... you really might impress people more with your Christianity by fulfilling your oaths / bets. 'Cause y'know, I know of someone else who didn't fulfill his oaths, who denied Christ three times before the cock crowed...
