This from Edwards who wants to divide the country by income? Race? Politics? Oh, but not religion. Certainly not that.

Edwards says"I don't think that faith should be used to divide us,"

I believe Jesus Himself took the opposite position.

Well, you see your problem, don't you. You simply are unable to recognize the secret plan JE has for our religious needs. We will be safer in their churches and not have to worry about anything.

There is the slight issue of theology, but JE has a secret plan for that too.

/sarcasm

"I don't think that faith should be used to divide us," he said."

So then why, senator, do democrats consistiently denegrate people of faith?

Bush said in his O'Reilly interview that a person cannot divorce their faith from everyday life. I agree.

Kerry and Edwards have faith in only one thing. Cash.

"My faith is very important to me, and the same is true of John Kerry,"Which is why they never talk about it.

All those secret plans and conspiracies that Kerry has embraced have put him right in the Michael Moore camp.

Had Kerry spent more time in Vietnam, I'd be seriously thinking he was damaged emotionally from his experience. As it is, I just think he's nuts.

All true people of faith agree.

How come I find it hard to believe that Kerry and Edwards sit around talking about their faith to each other as he is claiming? That's ridiculous.

No he only wants to divide us into plaintiffs and defendants.

One of the goats on the left side isn't all that happy about being separated from the sheep on the right.

Sheep mentioned in the Biblical sense, not in the "stupid bleating animal fit to be made into sweaters and mutton" sense. Right and left retain their current political connotations.

All the people I know who actually have faith never talk about faith. They talk about Jesus Christ, or God, or what Jesus wants them to be doing.

Most Democrats seem to place their faith dividing us in the first place.

I remember a certain freshman Senator whose most notable speech addresses the "Two Americas."

There ARE two Americas, there is the America that is composed of those who strive to have a rightly informed conscience on matters moral, as well as utilitarian, who act on those conscientious beliefs. Religion is a vital component of that formation. Then there is the America composed of John Edwards, John Kerry, and the Bill Clinton crown (Kerry and Edwards do not rate their own crowd) who do not believe in any unchanging truth, but use the language of morality to serve whatever they want it to serve, usually their own selfishness or ambition.
