I’d much rather deal with a man who lives out his faith in day-to-day life than with someone who uses his faith as a “calling card”. I’ve been hoodwinked by “Christian” crooks enough.

I’m sorry to say, but I distrust businesses that use Christian symbols, bible versus, ect. in their advertisements for much the same reason, and I’m a believer. If you run a Christian business, act as a Christian and you’ll have no shortage of satisfied customers. You shouldn’t need to use your faith (unless you’re a church) to sell anything, including political policy.
Amen! It's gotten so bad for me that I don't attend church either. My wife and I like to refer to ourselves as "believers" in The Lord Jesus Christ, as opposed to "Christians." I've had more rotten experiences with people calling themselves Christians than anything else I've ever encountered. I call it the "Frank Burns syndrome." It's either "God's will or somebody else's fault."
I'm beginning to like Thompson a great deal. He talks clearly, plainly and, I believe, acts more "Christian" than any of these other wouldbes.
