As long as a president believes in God and does nothing to harm our faith - his job and duties are outlined in the Constitution - I didn’t read the clause in it that one has to be a born-again believer. However, it is much better for us as a country to have someone in office and who surrounds himself with believers, but that isn’t always possible. Governing is governing not pastoring a church.

There is a poster claiming that Born again status trumps everything. So if the person isn't born again, but is better on the economy, will you vote for him even if there is a born again candidate available, although the born again candidate may be a loser or a commie?

From what you've written, however, the answer is "no." Can't remember what our disagreement is anymore.

I don’t know that we had a disagreement. I was trying to respond to your post with what I thought you asked me. I doubt that a person can be a born-again believer and be a communist at the same time. I know the poster you are talking about and believe this person is a Cruz supporter. That’s her/his choice, but that doesn’t make that person the right one to be president. I very much like Ted Cruz - as a VP or AG only. I don’t think this is his time - basically, Senators haven’t made good presidents. The majority of them are lawyers, and this is where I think Ted excels - in the area of law and the Constitution. However, he has done nothing to prove to me that he has strong leadership skills. Arguing in front of the Supreme Court isn’t leadership - it’s good lawyering.
