"I am a Christian, and I am a devout Christian. I believe in the redemptive death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. I believe that that faith gives me a path to be cleansed of sin and have eternal life. But most importantly, I believe in the example that Jesus set by feeding the hungry and healing the sick and always prioritizing the least of these over the powerful. I didn't 'fall out in church' as they say, but there was a very strong awakening in me of the importance of these issues in my life. I didn't want to walk alone on this journey. Accepting Jesus Christ in my life has been a powerful guide for my conduct and my values and my ideals."
- Barack Obama, 23 Jan 2008 in Christianity Today

I think Senator Obama's words speak for themselves, and unless and until someone can prove that Obama was lying when he said the above words, I will accept his affirmation of his faith in Jesus Christ at face value.
