[I still care]

You are right. If you say you are a Catholic, Moslem, or Jew, but don't believe and follow your faith, that is intellectual and spiritual dishonesty.

If you don't like your faith, find one you think is more true, but stop saying, "I am a Catholic/Jew/Protestant", because you aren't. And it's a lie.

Those lies expose more of the candidate's personality than they think. When Clark says, "I am a religious man but I left my church over a bike path", well, truly religious people know pretty much exactly to make of that.

"truly religious people know pretty much exactly to make of that"....yes, that the poster has mixed up Dean and Clark.
