Beliefnet has reprinted an interesting 2004 interview that a Chicago Sun-Times reporter did with Obama that explains a lot about his faith. Apparently, it's been quoted and misquoted many times but never before published in full-transcript form. Check it out.

"FALSANI:
What is sin?
OBAMA:
Being out of alignment with my values."
