President Obama, despite repetitively claiming that he is a Christian, is still accused of being a Muslim. People intermittently still look at old interviews of Obama trying to find slip-ups and lies that would uncover his hidden Muslim faith. You would think after people couldn't find much evidence, they would leave the topic alone, but these people never do. Perhaps they still haven't understood that we now have a black President.
In a different part of the nation, another ethnic minority is being heavily scrutinized for claiming to be a Catholic. Ironically it is another political figure, Bobby Jindal. Despite conversion many years ago, Jindal still draws the routine Hindu accusations and even occasional Muslim one. What is it with people? Why must political figures so actively go out and prove their faith?
Have we forgotten how recently not just Christians, but Christian priests have been found guilty of being unfaithful to Christian principles? Have we forgotten that Christians have been accused of exhorting the poor people through the use of televangelism? It is time for Christians to stop looking for public figures to affirm their faith and focus on cleaning up their own religion.
