For 15 years, Hillary Clinton has been part of a secretive religious group that seeks to bring Jesus back to Capitol Hill. Is she triangulating—or living her faith?
It was an elegant example of the Clinton style, a rhetorical maneuver subtle, bold, and banal all at once. During a Democratic candidate forum in June, hosted by the liberal evangelical group Sojourners, Hillary Clinton fielded a softball query about Bill's infidelity: How had her faith gotten her through the Lewinsky scandal?
After a glancing shot at Republican "pharisees," Clinton explained that, of course, her "very serious" grounding in faith had helped her weather the affair. But she had also relied on the "extended faith family" that came to her aid, "people whom I knew who were literally praying for me in prayer chains, who were prayer warriors for me."
Such references to spiritual warfare—prayer as battle against Satan, evil, and sin—might seem like heavy evangelical rhetoric for the senator from New York, but they went over well with the Sojourners audience, as did her call to "inject faith into policy." It was language that recalled Clinton's Jesus moment a year earlier, when she'd summoned the Bible to decry a Republican anti-immigrant initiative that she said would "criminalize the good Samaritan...and even Jesus himself." Liberal Christians crowed ("Hillary Clinton Shows the Way Democrats Can Use the Bible," declared a blogger at TPMCafe) while conservative pundits cried foul, accusing Clinton of scoring points with a faith not really her own.
In fact, Clinton's God talk is more complicated—and more deeply rooted—than either fans or foes would have it, a revelation not just of her determination to out-Jesus the gop, but of the powerful religious strand in her own politics. (more)

Mother Jones is commie from way back, but maybe Hillary isn't quite their cup of tea. Or they want something from her right now.
No way do I believe this one.
b.s.
Coming from Mother Jones they are probably terrified that Hillary might actually be serious about religion.
“Criminalize” Jesus??? Unthinkable!!!
The New York Times already wrote about Hillary’s “faith”:

"I am the Lord, thy God. Thou shalt have no other Gods before me."
Hsu fly, don't brother me... 
Hsu fly, don't bother me!
Hillary can not be a follower of the Christ because:She promotes and encourages the murder of innocent babies.
She promotes and encourages the deconstruction of marriage and promotes perversion.
She will steal from all citizens to support her own form of Marxism.
She will lie cheat and steal in order to seize power.

Chapter Eight - ‘The Radical’
‘THE TRUTH ABOUT HILALRY’
..by Howard Klein
While in High School United Methodist Minster Don Jones indoctrinated HILLARY in becoming a deep student of the United Methodist Church’s new left magazine ‘motive.’ Besides its containing extreme expletives NOT deleted:
.
“Photo features included a ..birthday card for HO CHI MINH.. and a picture of a pretty coed with LSD on her tongue.”
“Marxist writers were featured in the pages of ‘motive.’ Renegade priest Daniel Berrigan contributed anti-Vietnam War news. Nat Henotff defended student militancy. Convicted cop killer Huey Newton was lauded as a victim and a visionary. Advice was dispensd on draft dodging, desertion, and flight to Canada and Sweden.”
“According to the Methodist Church’s archives, during the 1960’s and early 1970’s ‘motive’ espoused ‘Highly politicized, left-wing ideology, which favored cuba, socialism, the Black Panthers, SDS (Students for a Democratic Society) ..obscene and vulgar language, and .anti-American ideology.’”
“As the archives pointed out, ‘motive’s’ stance ‘did not win it poplularity amoung the Methodist faithful.’”
“In 1972, the last year of its publication ‘motive’ devoted an entire issue to a radical lesbian/feminist theme, which emphasized the NEED TO DESTROY ‘our sexist, racist, capitalist, imperialist system’”
“In a 1994 interview with ‘Newsweek’ - more than two decades after ‘motive’ folded - Hillary proudly stated: ‘I still have every issue they sent me.’”

She finds her god in the mirror.
Thanks, Aloha Ronnie - I won’t ever forget.
The “prayers” Hitlery spoke about must be from her “religious” supporters, assorted Gaea worshipers, satanists, and followers of Witchcraft.
That’s odd, I thought Hillary was mostly a sports fan, a baseball fan. She proclaimed once that she was a life long Cubs fan. Of course, several years later (after carpet bagging her way to New York), she proclaimed herself a life long Yanquis fan.
I guess in the end Hillary is a life long fan of “power at any cost.”

Hillary’s a Christian, all right.
On her mantel she has a big bottle with an ark inside.
I vote for "puffery". MJ is trying to rationalize the "Christianity" she will no doubt rediscover to her fellow Bolsheviks, even as she seeks to lower her negatives, and capture at least one key "Red" state. Hill and Bill have always gone back to their "Christian Roots", bibles in hand and the whole nine yards, in times of political crisis and stress.
