RE: Obama's 'Conventional' Faith [Mark Hemingway]
Regarding the Obama interview transcript I wrote about below, a reader makes a good point:
You made a few good observations. As a guy who struggles to be a better Christian (meaning, me), I found this part interesting:
GG:
Do you believe in sin?
OBAMA:
Yes.
GG:
What is sin?
OBAMA:
Being out of alignment with my values.
Maybe I’m be hyper-sensitive because I’m trying to deeply commit to my faith, but when is sin a matter of going against human values? Shouldn’t G-d be involved at some point? At various points in the interview, I get the feeling that he’s not quite “getting it.”
