I don’t know what you are so mad at. We didn’t write the article.

As for voting, yes we need the one that represents the constitution best. But people can vote for any reason they want. It is helpful to know their core beliefs. But that is far from enough. I’m a Southern Baptist, but so was Clinton and Jimmy Carter. I did not vote for them. Instead I voted for Episcopal I think. I don’t remember. I am no fan of that denomination, generally speaking. I didn’t vote for the Mormon but not because he was Mormon. I didn’t trust him one iota. Neither did I vote for the disciple of the Rev. Wright.

"I don’t know what you are so mad at. We didn’t write the article."

Understood. I'm just sick of all the chatter here and elsewhere about how religious beliefs should even weigh in regarding who is our Commander in Chief. Basic morals yes - religious denominations no.

Don't bother to tell me my morals come from a white-robed guy in the sky. Again, they come from what I know what works best for humanity: sympathy, empathy, compassion and logic - all basic human traits. If I was given those traits by a superior being, then I thank him. If not, than I thank myself for recognizing them. Best.
