We are all God’s children regardless of race or color, from my parents point of view, we should never mix politics with religion.

We have a responsibility to vote, because our ancestors fought very hard for the privilege.

It should not matter what religion a candidate subscribes they should just have the knowledge of changing the world.

I think I care a little that the candidate not think that he, himself, is God.

Other than that, I want firm commitment to the first amendment; then I’m good.

I’m Roman Catholic but I don’t vote based on if a politician is also Roman Catholic. I vote based on their ethics, morals, convictions. I DID NOT vote for Kerry. I DID NOT vote for Durbin (one of my two horrible senators). Heck, most of the Catholic politicians on the national scene are a disgrace just based on their voting records and I am proud of the few bishops who are vocal enough to deny them from recieving the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinty of Christ in the form of the Eucharist until they publically repent of their voting records.

I wouldn’t care if he was a Muslim, as long as he didn’t lie about it.

to me, I don’t like when candidates go “I’m Catholic” and everyone is like “oh yay, he’s Catholic, I’m Catholic!”

Cuz he could be Catholic and want us to take over Canada…

so yea. I prefer that they just be like “hey, I’m catholic, end of discussion.” not at every press conference “the pope loves me and I love the pope and catholicism is the one true church”

so I don’t MIND that candidates are religious, but when that’s all they focus on to garner same-religion votes, it’s bull, pardon my French

I do not base my vote on how a candidate chooses to worship or not worship.

Our country was founded on freedom of thought, speech and expression, and I respect everyone’s right to worship or not as they see fit.

However, if I find that a candidate has lied about their religion or how they worship, that becomes a character issue and it could influence my vote.

Both are extremely important!

If you know what a man believes…you know the man’s mind!

If the man is honest about his beliefs….you know the man’s heart!

Obama’s mind & heart were formed by Jeremiah Wright for 20 consecutive years …in a Mentor-Protege relationship!
