Presidential Candidates on Religion
JUST THE FACTS
Tags: Candidates, presidential, religious, views, topics, issues
Here they are:
| | John McCain - Identifies himself as Episcopalian but attends a Baptist mega-church with his family, where the pastor has judged him “not a biblically versed, mature Christian.” | | | Barack Obama - His pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, known for militant screeds against the “United States of White America,” has met with Qaddafi and Farrakhan. “When [Barack’s] enemies find out,” Wright has predicted, “his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell.” | | | Mitt Romney - As a Mormon, believes that Jesus will return to Jackson, Missouri. Says he “can’t imagine anything more awful than polygamy,” though Great-Great Granddad had 12 wives, and Great Grandpa fled to Mexico to establish a plural marriage colony. | | | John Edwards - “Jesus would be disappointed in our ignoring those around us who are suffering [as we] focus on our own selfish short-term needs,” says the man who charged a public university $55,000 last year to give a speech entitled “Poverty, the Great Moral Issue Facing America.” | | | Rudolph Giuliani - Decided against entering the priesthood as a young man because of the celibacy requirement. Married a cousin, then cheated on and divorced his second wife. The priest who married him says he will deny him Communion if he ever returns to his church. | | | Hillary Clinton - An agnostic in college, now professes a return to her Christian faith, but passed up a key enlightenment opportunity when she told a spiritual guru who facilitated her “conversations” with Eleanor Roosevelt and Gandhi that she didn’t want a séance with Jesus. | | | Fred Thompson - His Church of Christ religion was widely thought to be a cult after a high-profile murder focused attention on its strict conservatism. Prominent evangelist James Dobson has accused Thompson of straying from the flock: “I don’t think he’s a Christian.” |
