I'm disappointed that you attack a person because of her religion. I went through the article and didn't see how her religion affects her position as a Vice President.

On the other hand, Obama came from a "Black Liberation Theology" religion, he's a Presidential candidate, and holds many fairly radical views.
I you want to discuss Palin's religion, I'll debate you. (I'm sort of bored, right now and I'm sure you want something to attack).-

Calling Palin a poster child for culture warriors is an attack? I suspect Palin would be flattered by my comment and people like Rush Limbaugh would agree with it.

Personally I think politics and religion are like oil and water, they don't mix., but as you point out, America has heard about Obama's religious choices, (Martin Luthar King was a Black Liberation Theologist too), so it's only fair to bring up Palin's. In the furture maybe we can dedicate one or two Presidential debates to candidates explaining to us how their god can beat up their opponent's god.-

Uh, lets see, i.e. John Kennedy was likely scrutinized more for his Catholic faith than any other quality.

Put Palin's beliefs are stone age. That is unless the Assembly of God's biblically literal views are not her own. It's Jesus Camp type stuff. Raising little warriors for Christ. Then sending the legions forth for now if for nothing else than prosletizing to others. No Assembly of God member has ever held high national office that I know of?
But I don't see Palin as any type of Jesus figure. Someone to emulate. Did he supposedly go around bad mouthing his fellow man and rendering judgement from the stump? Ok, so the Rambo Jesus these people believe in does kick*ss!And he whipped the moneychangers didn't he? But instead McCain/Palin want to give the moneychangers a whopping tax break! And a multitude of Christians will vote for this. They see a 5% additional tax put on the 5% of the wealthiest and consider it socialism. And I don't seem to recall that type of condemnation of those who think differently? And I also don't think Jesus would ever rumble onto the stage with "Redneck (Wo)Man" as a theme song as I saw the other night. How inclusive! I know a lot of redneck women but I don't want any of them running the country.
The thought of her as my Vice President doesn't make me angry because what can I do if this is what my fellow Americans choose? It just makes me sad to see how liitle we expect anymore. I can her it now, "Hey look Cletus, McCain died, now the weathergirl from Wasilla is President"! Would make me feel like the guy in the painting "The Scream". Four years of this? I can't even imagine!
But that's not even what truly what scares me about this woman. She has not a shred of intellectualism in her. And that is considered an asset these days? Her beliefs are but one symptom. Obama (unless you blindly hate him) is an actual thinker. But that is considered a negative somehow? He's considered sinister and calculating. Mediocre intelligence and simple mindedness are now somehow in vogue again. But didn't we learn a da*n thing from the last 8 years? Hasn't America suffered enough? We'll see on Tuesday.

I always wondered why he didn't just cast out her Demons.
Reply
He claimed authority over them so why didn't he free her?
I am not gonna mock a person's belief in a Higher Power.
I am just saying that if you wanna go around claiming Higher Authority your ass better be online with one.

Um...SHE made her religion part of this campaign by pushing it. I don't care about her religion but she wants to use it to legislate against me and my friends. She also used her religion in pushing an "anti-abortion" stance that will never pass.
Reply
Just like her kids. Don't blame us for mentioning things that she has pushed into the limelight. She uses those kids just like she uses christianity. -

All religions are composed entirely of pixie twaddle.
Reply
The fact that Palin thinks Christ is going to return to earth in her lifetime makes her a dangerous wacko.
There is nothing to debate, when it comes to religion. Religion is nothing more than a naive belief system that attempts to validate superstition.-

I don't need to validate superstition.
I think there is a higher power.
It's not some anthropomorphic, selfish, sadistic and angry Ubermensch.
I dunno why anyone would serve someone they thought was out to get them unless it was from fear.
I believe in existential reality. There most be some Engine at the Core. -

I'm sorry you feel that way.
But I can understand it, when you see people who claim to be for what God wants.
Do evil things for their own self gain, while hurting those who are seeking to find the answer.
It is not easy to see what is the Truth is. For even satan takes part of what God says and then twists in his own values trying dillute and make less the True lessons of God
It seems many people blame God for all that is wrong, yet give Him no credit for what is good.
Religion is mans way to try and make himself Holy in the absense of living Gods' way.
And yes some of them are superstitions. Personally I have never understood praying to a piece of stone or metal. Yet some do it with the belief that they are communicating with God.
God is so immense this world cannot contain Him, nor our minfd fully comprehend Him.
That is why some have problems understanding, because they are limited to believing in what they see. Or understanding what is so much more vast and intelligent than they are. -
