i believe that Barack Obama — indeed anyone of intelligence — who is raised by an atheist and who makes it into adulthood without a religious infection is an atheist. i’m inclined to suspect that his original merger with the Reverend Jeremiah Wright was a shrewd (and cowardly) political tactic. the move he thought was necessary to make himself a viable American politician now threatens to strip away all viability. the way this relationship has played out in his political career is thus so exceedingly ironic, so karmic, it suggests a higher power. QED.
