quote:

Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin told ministry students at her former church that the United States sent troops to fight in the Iraq war on a "task that is from God."

In an address last June, the Republican vice presidential candidate also urged ministry students to pray for a plan to build a $30 billion natural gas pipeline in the state, calling it "God's will."


Well, as the old hymn has it, "God moves in a mysterious way."

You think an atheist has a chance in hell to be elected president? People want religious people in office.

Way too many.

Yes, after all, God told Bush to be president and look how well that has worked out.

We need to see more video of the Obama family at their Christian worship services, just to put things into perspective. There's got to be some out there - why haven't we seen it?

All politicians know how to use religion to get what they want out of the voters.

Or were you refering to something else?

No doubt. But has Obama actually identified policy specifics--a war, a pipeline--and claimed to know that they are God's will?

I think I like the revelations about Sarah Palin's religion much better.

It is very troubling that in so many wars both sides claim that God is telling them to kill others.
