Whenever I doubt that conservatives can give more fodder to their opponents along comes one to fill the void.

This is taken out of context. It’s no big deal. Maybe he should be in the closet with an intern on his spare time instead of being in church.

Even though what he says is certainly Bible based and true. As an elected official he should know better than to say it.

He needs to decide. Does he want to be a governor or a pastor.

He has a right to his religious viewpoints.

There is a brotherhood among believers that unbelievers don’t share, naturally.

Perhaps it was not PC to acknowledge this fact. So what.

To rejoice in the spiritual brotherhood you have among people of like faith is not controversial unless someone tries to make it so.

I had put this comment on another thread, earlier:

Since this relationship requires a kind of affirmation of such a faith, where do infants, foetuses and the mentally challenged stand? Are they not “brothers” because they cannot affirm confidence in the said faith?

So many questions, so many thoughts!
