Speaking in India about religious tolerance, President Obama briefly addressed unfounded rumors that he is a Muslim.

Obama was speaking at the Siri Fort Auditorium in New Delhi on Tuesday after meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narenda Modi.

“In our lives Michelle and I have been strengthened by our Christian faith,” Obama told the audience. “But there have been times where my faith’s been questioned — by people who don’t know me, or they’ve said that I adhere to a different religion, as if that were somehow a bad thing.”

Obama has long been the target of unsubstantiated accusations the he is actually Muslim rather than Christian. Obama’s Kenyan father was a secular Muslim, and the young Obama was raised for a time in Indonesia, a majority Muslim country. However, as an adult, Obama became involved in Christian-led organizations. He and wife Michelle eventually began attending the Trinity United Church of Christ, led by the fiery Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

As if that were somehow a bad thing...

Well, Mr. Poser, if you were actually a Christian you would know and declare without hesitation that putting your faith in anyone, or anything, other than Jesus Christ is a bad thing. The worst of things as a matter of fact. The object of one's faith has eternal consequence and no Christian would've treated the matter as trivially as you did.
