Is Mitt Romney's Mormonism fair game in the presidential campaign? What about Rudy's adherence or lack of adherence to the Catholic faith? What about Hillary's atheism?
Richard Cohen espouses a theory as to how to keep religion out of politics.
It seems to me that religion, and lack of religion, is very much a part of this and every political campaign.
For instance, here would be some of the questions I would propose to candidates regarding faith.
What in you religious training dictates that it's OK to steal money from one to give to another?
What in your religious training would allow you to permit abortion on demand?
What role does volunteerism play in your governmental framework?
But even more than the questions of the religious about about a few questions for the nonreligious (aka democrats).
Where do you develop your moral compass in the absence of God?
How do you determine right from wrong in the absence of God? Is it totally arbitrary?
I'm always irked with the media's obsession with the GOP's religious values. Granted I think they are at play but so are the democrats lack of religious values. Why do they always get a pass? It's why conservative Christians are so suspicious of the "faith talk" by democrats. They see the walk over the talk.
Hey Hillary what's your favorite Bible verse?
