Thing is, you've obviously already made up your mind to what the 'truth' is. An an analogy: "Why can't you admit you're a foot fetishist? Nothing wrong with it, so why would you lie and say you are not? Since you can't own up to your own identity, there must be something wrong with you."

Obama's father was apostate at the time of Barack's birth, so he was not born Muslim. His upbringing was largely secular. In fact, Obama likely received more formal religious instruction at the Catholic school he attended.
I don't think anyone really knows what faith is about until well into their teens anyway. My early school records probably list my faith as Episcopal, that doesn't make me one now, and I don't think it made me one then either.-

You are ignoring that for a good part of the time he was in Indonesia he was raised Muslim and went to a mosque regularly. He learned the prayers. So for him to say NEVER is a lie. If he would have just admitted that for a while he was raised a Muslim nothing else would have been said. The problem is that he lied.

"...went to a mosque regularly." It was a few times. I went with my mother to church on holidays. I even recited a couple of prayers. I can recall the Lord's Prayer. Obama never said he never went to a mosque. He has said he was never a Muslim. He has certainly affirmed many in his family were Muslim, but he was not 'raised a Muslim' any more than I was 'raised an Episcopalian'. Church was never anything more than a boring bunch of mumbo-jumbo. One has to AFFIRM one is a Muslim, which Obama never did.

You WANT there to be a 'truth' for which there is no real evidence.
