"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image"

This is getting retarded. First of all I'm sure Obama didn't "make unto thee" that good luck charm, and second of all who gives a crap?!

"Shocking photo"........

And let the mudthrowing begin...

Seriously, how many people haven't got a small token of some kind that belongs to another religion? I have a dragon guarding my bedpost even though I'm not confirmed Buddhist. I've had new age charms because what they represented sounded fun, and what not.

I think it should be any persons privilege to be allowed to carry what ever tokens one wishes to. What if a Muslim presented him with an edition of the Qu'ran, would he be a terrorist then?
If anything this shows the dirty face of Christian fanaticism from my point of view.

I hope mr. Obama steps out and tells a story about the time that this holy man gave this to him as a gift and a wish of good luck, just to shut the fanatics up.

I wear a bronze coin from Constantine's era, with his visage on one side, and the god Sol on the other. What would be construed of that?

I support Constantine's alleged act of choosing the books to make up the Bible?

I secretly worship Sol?

I place a secret value on bronze as a source for channelling Roman clerics who whisper prophecy to me in Latin?

OR....

My darlin' gave it to me for my birthday, and I think it's kinda cool to wear a coin that was minted about 1700 years ago.

hmmmmmmmmm.

this was posted before

the bracelet came from a US soldier fighting in iraq and he gave it to obama


geesh

read more peopl, read

So he's Hindu now?

They're terrorist too right?
.

I dunno... personally I'll be reviewing the candidates based on what their stances are regarding the issues.

Not who carries a rabbit's foot or whatever.

What does this sidetracking accomplish?

I'm a Christian and couldn't care less. I hope it works.

I wear a cross that someone very close gave me that I wear for what it represents to me. I would hope not to be judged by it because no one really knows what it means.

You left out the picture where he's doing a sacrifice to Baal of small children. He is pure evil you know.....

Hindu, Islam, so what...........he's just a liar and a marxist. McCain is decended from Able's brother..its in his name..........

Okay, the man has a bunch of trinkets in his pocket. So what?

Perhaps, Obama should be commended for keeping heart-felt tokens of appreciation from average American citizens on his person. A personal reminder of the people he is striving to serve and represent.

A Hanuman token is pretty tame. If he starts carrying a token of Kali, then I'll worry.

Besides, monkeys are cool. Who doesn't like monkeys?

Please, dear Lord. PLEASE, someone assure me that we don't have this kind of nonsense to look forward to at ATS form here on out!

I understand this is 'of interest' to some, but I hate personality cults AND anti-personality cults equally. And this, well, this is just too much!
