A perfect lie is one that everyone believes is true except the person who is telling the lie. The lier knows whether it is a lie or not.
Many people believe that Obama is lying when he says he is a Christian. The right thinks he is a Muslim and the left thinks he is an atheist.
Obama's mother was agnostic and his father an atheist. Most people simply adopt the religion of their parents. Even scientists, including Noble laureates, who are theists only end up adopting the religion of their parents only. Which simply means that we do not use our minds in this matter. I have three PHD friends, a Sikh, a Hindu and a Jain. All three strongly argue for their own religion. It is extremely rare that an intelligent person would adopt any religion other than the one he was born in. Simply because people find every other religion silly except their own.
Only Obama knows if he is lying, but I would be disappointed if he is not.
Hahahaha ... everyone finds every other religion silly except for their own ... such a good point! That just goes to show that when you are 'objectively' viewing religion, it comes across as ridiculous!
