John F. Kerry is evolving from a reserved Catholic reluctant to discuss faith in the public square into a Democratic preacher of sorts..
From the pulpit to the pastures, Kerry is increasingly spreading a more spiritual messag...
...In what has become a familiar refrain of Kerry's sermons, he told the story of the Good Samaritan to illustrate God's calling to help the least of America's people.
"This," he said, "is how you reach the kingdom of Heaven."

Faced with polls showing him running behind Texas Governor Bush, the vice president has been making a steady move to the right in an effort to "take God back" for his campaign and the Democratic Party. Thursday's media blunder may betray a reluctance within the White House to take the sorts of strong, principled stands which distance Al Gore and his campaign from the pack of religious conservatives over at the GOP.
I don't know why Democrats always sound like they're blaspheming when they quote scripture...well, yes I do.
I agree. Faith can not be masured by deeds. It is simply a way of life. Faith exudes throughout everything you do and guides your perceptions.
In Kerry's case, he can't just talk "faith". He must show it.
NOTE TO KERRY CAMPAIGN: Genuine people of faith will only be further turned off by your religious phoniness. Bush has the Christian faith. Accept it and move on. For every Christian you might somehow persuade at the last moment with your sudden conversion, you will lose TEN liberal, athiests that you thought were already in your back pocket. They, too, will see through your transparent pandering and stay home on Election Day or vote for some other loser, like Nader.
Actually - faith + works = salvation.
James 2:14-18
What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister has nothing to wear and has no food for the day, and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well," but you do not give them the necessities of the body, what good is it? So also faith of itself, if it does not have works, is dead. Indeed someone might say, "You have faith and I have works." Demonstrate your faith to me without works, and I will demonstrate my faith to you from my works.
Let's just hope the artificiality of their comments comes through to the average voter as clearly as it does to us.
(And I think it does.)
Next thing you know he'll have a "Sermon on the Mount"
Beware of false prophets!!!!!!!!!!!!
Listening to Kerry "intone" a hymn is almost as nauseating as listening to Hillary Clinton's harsh voice at the National Hispanic Prayer Breakfast. The hypocrisy comes through very plainly.
Hilarious. Clinton could pull it off. Gore could sometimes fake it, but Kerry...his religious fervor is about as good as his pitching arm.
Why is it that Democratic candidates are always "evolving" right up until the second we enter the voting booth.

blashphemer, I tell ya!
I wonder if JF Kerry has changed his relationship with God by going through Christ since the above photo was taken.
Thanks.
Can you even imagine the contortions in his staff meetings trying to write this stuff?
I'd lay dollars to doughnuts Jesse's in on it.
"This is the day that the Lord has made"...wasn't that the phoniest thing you ever heard? She had to know it as the words left her mouth that it just couldn't work.
Kerry is a hypocrite. I love it when limo liberals tell us how compassionate they are (especially with our money). Prior to his last re-election, Senator Kerry reluctantly released his tax returns. It seems from 1991 to 1995, Senator Kerry made about $626,000 in taxable income. During this time he contributed about $3,000 to charity or about 0.5%. In 1991 and 1995, he gave $0-- I guess this devout Catholic missed 104 Sundays in church (my wife and 4 children are Catholic, so don't think I'm anti-Catholic). During this time, hard-hearted George Bush reported a taxable income of about $999,000 and contributed $91,000 to charity (1991-1993, 9.1%). In 1997, GWB gave about $330,000 to charity after selling his stake in the Texas Rangers for $14.7 million after taxes. Of course, we know Kerry's fortunes (pun intended) changed in 1996 when he married his present wife whose wealth is estimated to be between 0.5 and 1 billion dollars.
In March, in a St. Louis Church, Kerry stated, "The scriptures say: "It is not enough, my brother, to say you have faith, when there are no deeds."
We look at what is happening in America today and we say: "Where are the deeds?" Kerry is a hypocrite and phony.
