I too was raised Catholic, but simple stopped going to church for 40+ years. Guess what, I rejoined the church just recently. You may still harbor ill feelings towards it still ... never said it's 100%.
But I think my point is valid ... when all is said and done, in my opinion Obama has an obvious soft spot in his heart towards Islam ... it is, after all, the faith of his father. I also think that explains why he was so quick to invite the Muslim kid from Dallas to the White House.

Obama might as you have said have a soft spot for Muslims. Unlike you a large number of Republicans believe without a doubt that he is a Muslim. If you need any evidence of that, take a look at many of the posts on this board. There are still many birthers out there. Trump was trying to prove that in the very recent past.
Obama wasn't the only one reaching out to this kid, MIT, and the founder of Facebook also have a soft spot for the 14 year old.
You aren't alone in going back to church. As we get older in life, we have to cover all bases just in case there really is a heaven or hell.
