Dean said his favorite book of the New Testament was the book of JOB...man never cracked open a bible in his life. God should strike him down for lying.

I have a hard time believing Job as someones favorite book anyway.

Agreed... There are certain pieces of biblical information that are so basic, so fundamental to a person of faith that they cannot be "misspoken". Job's standing as an Old Testament figure is one of them.

[I still care]

I wish he would have told me that. I would have asked him what it was about the book of Job he found so inspiring.

He probably would have said the sermon on the mount...

Hey, it beats Leviticus so far as I'm concerned....

Someone needs to ask Dr Dean if he "got Jesus" before or after working at Planned Parenthood.

lol... you're right

As C. S. Lewis so accurately points out, there are those who prefer a watered-down view of the Son of God: A harmless philosopher who only spoke peaceful and loving platitudes. In other words, a Saviour without a spine. The Democratic view.

...Of course, anyone with any sense at all would know that Jesus is neither Republican or Democrat (Apparently Al Sharpton has it on good terms that God is definitely NOT a Republican...but you know only Crazy Al would make such a statement). And that no one should attempt to reduce His stature as such.

The only reason Dean and any of the other Democrats are making any noise about this at all is President Bush just happens NOT to be ashamed of his relationship with the Creator, and that the majority of Americans share that same point of view. In other words, this president identifies with most average Americans. The Democrats, on the other hand, only believe that going into Black Churches to slander their opponents validates their religious beliefs, instead of having any relationship with God at all. They see other (White) believers as uptight zealots, and find religion as something only the uneducated and trailer park-types practice. It seems the only time any of these snobs attends church is either for an extavagant wedding, christening, or a funeral. Just like their European counterparts.

As Thomas correctly points out, Dean is only using the Lord as a means to garner votes; perhaps he ought to try getting to really know who He is instead of mocking His followers.

This just shows that Dean is a pandering twerp who can't even get his facts straight.

Dean also said some rap tune was his all time favorite song.

I don't believe anything this guy says.

I liked Luke

[GeronL]

didn't he call Job one of Jesus' disciples? (sic) .... and all that it entails... entrails?

[farmfriend]

Mine is obvious.

From what I read on a previous post, I believe he did, which only proves Dr. Dean needs to open the Bible and actually read it, and not as a primer for talking to White Southernes.

Southernes=Southerners

That is the one thing we must not say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic -

Sounds like Cal Thomas has read Josh McDowell's Evidence That Demands a Verdict. Besides, Jesus couldn't be a moral leader and a liar at the same time, if that were the case his name would be Bill.....
