Because you can still be an intelligent, rational person while religion is a cornerstone of your life. It's a cornerstone of YOUR life, not necessarily anyone else's. You can be religion and intelligent, too!
I am a Christian and have to agree that he did not misrepresent Christianity. He's paraphrasing the Bible. Those books do have those passages in them. Obviously no one follows these passages, but he makes a strong point; how do we choose which passages to follow? As people, we have the capacity for intelligent thought every now and then. We can obviously recognize that books like Leviticus are full of nonsense, and that shit comes from the Old Testament anyway. Regardless, if we believe that it was a book written by God, then it is still part of the Bible.
No, America is not and never was a Christian nation. You're allowed to practice whatever faith you want. If it were a Christian nation, you would see no Buddhist temples or Jewish synagogues. We wouldn't have great stand-up comedians like Lewis Black hanging around making us laugh, and that would be bullshit.
Also, smart people never say things like, "smart like like me," because it would make that smart person appear moronic. Smart people realize this and act accordingly.

:roll: you say he didn't misrepresent and then stated exactly why he misrepresented them. The doctrine involved with the points he pulled out do are not New Testament doctrine. His comments seem to suggest that they are part of it.
Meh, it's not worth getting into this discussion on the intarweb as there is way too much to go into. But I stand by my statement.
He was quoting Leviticus - which is in the the Jewish bible. Jesus said he came to fulfill the old law and do away with it at the same time. External codes were then to be replaced by the laws of the heart and conscience with the aid of grace following his death which caused a condemnation on evil because it killed something that was innocent (prior to that all people were guilty under an original curse. Keep in mind a lot of those laws other aspects and reasons to exist (hygiene and health being some - hence the shellfish thing). Anyone quoting Leviticus as a way of explaining Christianity is pretty much caught in a meander.
Nobody said a person couldn't practice any faith they want. America is not a nation of one religion (of one God yes) - and that includes Islam, Hinduism etc. - contrary to Obama's neo-Marxist fractionalism. he doesnt want a level playing field as much as he wants to turn it upside down with small groups on top. That's basic liberal dysfunction (ie criminals have more rights than victims, pornographers rights more important than the Boy Scouts etc)

Interesting. How would he achieve all this? Y'know, if he became President - what would be his first move?

Hey if Hamas and terrorists enthusiasts are in joy over his Isalmic sympathies and his willingness to let banned terror connected "scholars" into the US then his background is in play. Time and Newsweek ran cover stories "reminding" people of Romneys Mormonism - and the media went on about it for weeks with not a word about Obama's gutter church. This is all a brain screw.

Yes but change is still good because its on the way to the future and not the past, and since the past is over there is no future in the past we need change to now to escape the past. Of course its "us" that must lead the change and we cant wait till the future to change or we will get stuck in the past and thats just so white!
Nobody is "forcing their religion" on anyone. Different people get their belief structures from different places. Point being, we are all made up with a set of morals we get from somewhere, and just because someone chooses the Bible as the source for theirs, does not give them any less right to vote how they believe.
Well that's a long reply but Obama is very authoritarian and big gov oriented. He and his Legal advisor Larry Tribe believe in activist judges and Obam worked on a paper with Tribe were the Constitution is described as "Newtonian" or discrete in its elements. This was seen as a flaw and a more "relative" process was seen as better. This process held that judges should be a part of the process as oppossed to mere machines as for Jefferson). Judges should be allowed to "fill in the blanks" where the Constitution is vague. Hitler used his judges the same way. Obama also wants to expnad the judicial department into local affairs. Keep in mind one thing he wants to protect is "Gender expresion" -crazier than even sexual orientation. Its on his website but media never talks about it.
Despite the inference, I read the article/post/blog and it did not say Malik said he was raised Muslim. The article the isreaelinsider referenced was this jpost article that says:

Having a Muslim background does not mean he was raised a Muslim.

Not if the ACLU and Soros can do anytrhing about it. I agree with your point. I just say the huge judeo christian elements of the culture are under attack under the guider of fairness. All the corrupt legal groups like ACLU seek to make God bless you after a sneeze a crime while they help crazy imamas sue regular people if they report suspicious activity if its a muslim. This is because the ACLU director (Anthony Romero) and others his staff are homosexuals etc (dont forget they did once try to make owning child porn egal) and they hate judeo christian culture almost as much as the Islamo-facists. The enemy of my enemy is my friend is the rule for them. Its bizarre that Islamofacists want to throw homosexuals off buildings (as per the Koran) and kill jews but the liberal jews and homosexuals will work with them in hatred for judeo-christian culture. Thats because they have the same seething lower nature. Not that I like the phony prechers on TV
Still think he's a troll? I stand by my original diagnosis of some sort of insane paranoid disorder.
I'm all for removing religion from politics completely.
I, for one, am sick of "pastors" and "reverends" and "churches" which are anything but, let alone their undue influence in our political system.

Then STFU. If you can't make a case have the humility not to say you have one.

You're right, he really believes what he posts.
But I've seen the garbage he spews before. The first time way back in high school by some puny nerd classmate who cut his hair and shaved his pubescent mustache to try to look like Hitler. This is typical neo-nazi/KKK propaganda (i.e. Stormfront), regurgitated unthinkingly by your typical brainwashed tag-a-long.
