Moderators of Sunday’s faith forum spared the Democratic presidential candidates no mercy as they drilled them on difficult theological questions ranging from “Why does God allow people to suffer?” to “Do you believe that God created the world in six days?”

Where reason is finite, faith is infinite. To make it simple, when one runs out of reason the next stept is to take a leap of faith…….and if you are a man of true faith, YOU will never fail. The reality is Faith do coexist with Reason. The real question is how to integraet and differenciate both to a common Good for the benefit of mankind.
3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,
4 Who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:
5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from Him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
This effort to touch some of the basic questions from the Holy Bible seems to be another political PR effort than anything substantial.
From my perspective, their answers are pathetic. Always hedging and avoiding the real issue.
If this Q&A was on my TV, I would change the channel in 2 seconds. Yawn.
Moderator Question: " Blah, blah, blah, God, Bible, abortion, etc., etc,."
Clinton Answer: I dunno.
Obama Answer: Ditto.
But, I did like Clinton's use of the phrase "potential" life. I guess that is like "sort of pregnant."
Every human, including politicians and bureaucrats, have a religious worldview. Their worldview dictates what they say and do. Religion is in every aspect of our lives, be it Chrisitian, humanist, LDS, etc. It just depends upon the true religion Vs the false religions. Humanism is a false and devastating religion. We'll see some of that portrayed in Expelled. Both Hilary and Obama incorporate most of Humanism into their policies and proposals. They may or may not truly believe in an Almighty God, but they most definitely have placed the state in a position of a god as is the policiy of Humanism.
BTW; our nation was originally founded on the Christian Worldview principles; Declaration of Independence, Constitution, etc. We saw those principles whittled away through the 20th century to now we have a nanny state; here to tend to all our needs and plow us into bankruptcy and lead us into moral decay.
Say His name and demons are afraid. Mention his Blood and evil runs away.

Why does Hillary and Barack have to explain their faith and what it means? Because they want to. They want to so they can relate to voters and get more votes. Hilary could pray once a year, and she would still say that in important decisions she always prays. Atheism makes up an extremely small percentage of the population, Christianity makes up a large percentage, thus they must explain their faith and it is vitally important. You can try to separate religion and politics, but you cannot separate people and politics.
REPENT, FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT HAND!!!!
commandments.
new constitution allows the people to become Christian without fear of loss of life and women
are having a new freedom there that they have not had since 6,500 AD. If our soldiers were martyred for those people for that reason, there is great rejoicing in heaven over those heros.
Unlike Iran, America has a secular government.
I thought everyone knew that. Did you think America is a theocracy?
Supernatural beliefs should be private. Candidates for president should not have to argue about who is the most holy. They should be talking about the nation's problems and our future, instead of talking about religious ideas. They are campaigning for president, not preacher.
No, Howard. There is no such thing as not having a world view. The "Secular" world view, known as "secularism", is a RELIGION as plainly as Christianity is, as is so stated by the United States Supreme Court both in 1962 and 1968.
The reason, Howard, that a person's religious views are indeed VERY important is because you want to know what their views ARE. You don't want someone who operates on polls do you? You want someone who actually has a conscience right? You want to vote in someone who believes in what you can trust in, don't you? Well, how else can you vote for someone if they will will not tell you who they are and what they believe?
Simple common sense here.

I thought Obama and Clinton were running for president of the United States, not preacher of the United States. Don't we have a secular government? What does God and the Bible have to do with economic and foreign policy?
I heard that in Europe politicians never discuss religion when campaigning. That's make sense. A person's beliefs should be private. A politician's supernatural beliefs, if he has any, should have nothing to do with secular governments.
