religion & politics

[Harlan Huckleby]

Yesterday I heard a "news" story on NPR speculating on whether Palin is a drone who will be directed by the bible in her decision making. Sounds a lot like JFK being controlled by the Pope in 1960.

Similar story in the NY Times today about Palin's suspicious association with Pentecostal church. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/06/us...l?ref=politics

I think it is legitimate to reintroduce Reverand Wright into the debate. He's been gone far too long, and what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Just wondering, has Obama referred to any of his proposed policies as "doing God's work"?

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think anybody who is a sincere Christian has to see all of their actions as doing God's work, I have zero problem with that statement.

IF there is some (apparently very bored) higher power up there, monitoring each and every one of our actions, and and an afterlife to look forward to, then what could possibly be more important than trying to live according to this God's purpose?

Personally, I long for the day when it is OK for an atheist to run for office. Then we wouldn't have politicians like Obama sitting in nut-job churches, thinking they are covering their asses.

Then you sir, are in some deep shit.

Obama has stated that he as left Trinity, and he will not join a church until after the election.

Then move to Europe.

It's OK right now. no one will stop you. Just fewer will vote for you. It wouldn't surprise me though if some who have run as believers were actually for all practical purposes, atheists.

I read a quote from Obama that he is "gratified that this is no longer a Christian nation". He may be in for a bit of a surprise come election time.

So Sarah is a "Holy Roller"? Would that be morally equivalent to a revelation that Barak Obama is a break dancer?

One day the left accuses her of an adulterous affair, and the next day, it's "she'll allow her decision-making to be determined by the Bible"--like that's a bad thing. I'd say the left is just a little bit desperate.

When did the National Enquirer become the voice of the Democratic Party?

No, just tell me about all the democrats that voted for the 14th and 15th amendment, and all the Republicans who voted for Jim Crow laws. How about the voting records during the civil rights movement?
