Most humans that ever lived would think my phone is super natural.
...but now we know better.
We, by nature, attribute things we don't understand to the super natural, but today we understand a lot more than we used to.
When we have questions today, we look to science, not the super natural.
God did it, just don't cut it anymore.
My bike doesn't run on miracles,.. it runs on gas.
If my dog dies, he doesn't go to doggy heaven,... we tell children that to make them feel better.
Aren't we a little more sophisticated than children?
Do you believe your beloved Barrack Obama is as foolish as a little child? There's no difference in Obama and this politician you posted about.
From Obama: He continued, "I think also understanding that ... Jesus Christ dying for my sins spoke to the humility that we all have to have as human beings – that we're sinful and we're flawed and we make mistakes; we achieve salvation through the grace of God."
So your hero, Obama, believes that by pledging faith in The Son of God, The Christ, The Lamb of God, his sins will be borne by him and allow Barrack to stand in front of The God of the Universe Holy and blameless.
Millions of the most sophisticated people in the world today have faith including the world's top minds in all fields of study. Faith and science are not mutually exclusive. And we've advanced far beyond the need for The God of Rain to explain the water cycle. But you like to point out those people as a means to smear all the others with faith. And pointing out a right wing politician is particularly reaching into the bottom of the barrel, as they'll pander to anyone. Him using Christianity to advance his cause is no worse than that loser Max Cleland using his "war injury" (he accidentally blew himself up with a grenade, drunk?) to get elected. People and politicians use whatever is within reach to mobe forward, even if its unethical. This is not a domain that's exclusive to Christianity.
