I wonder if the Palins are Christian? Anyone know? I would venture a guess and say yes...

Wikipedia says she's "Assemblies of God", as does the Dallas News. But I thought that I saw somewhere else that she was Catholic.

Also from Wikipedia:
Details of Palin's personal life have contributed to her political image. She hunts, eats moose hamburger, ice fishes, rides snowmobiles, and owns a float plane.[19][84] Palin holds a lifetime membership with the National Rifle Association. She admits that she used marijuana at a time when the state had legalized possession of small amounts (though possession was still illegal under federal law). She says that she did not like it.[16] In December 2007, Palin posed for a photo spread in the fashion magazine Vogue.[85]

Nah. They're freakin’ devil worshipers. What do you think a decent all American family is? Or do you think they must be a particular brand of “Christian”? Despite what Obama said America is a Christian country. And you can be certain a family like that reflects that.

Hi Mary, here’s an exerpt from the web:

Palin’s parents say they are not political and don’t know how she decided to turn her ambition and work ethic toward politics. Her Christian faith, they say, came from her mother, who took her children to area Bible churches as they were growing up (Sarah is the third of four siblings). They say her faith has been steady since high school, when she led the Fellowship of Christian Athletes, and grew stronger as she sought out believers in her college years.

Palin doesn’t brandish her religion on the campaign trail, but that doesn’t prevent others from doing so. After she was first elected mayor, her predecessor, John Stein, objected that a Valley cable TV program had hailed her as Wasilla’s first “Christian mayor.” In a column for the local newspaper, he named eight previous mayors and added that he, too, was a Christian, despite a name that led some voters to suspect “I must be a non-Christian, have non-Christian blood or at least have sympathized with a non-Christian sometime in my career.”

From a quote or two attributed to her, I believe you guess correctly...
