You are absolutely correct about it not being a skill for the presidency. But in reality, all too many people factor the candidate religion heavier than their real qualifications. To the extent that political speeches are being made from pulpits.

And the reason McCain's religion is not all over the press is because it in line with the Christian oppression of other religions in this country, so it is not deemed noteworthy.

Actually...
I saw the stuff you were saying. Both of you.
And you actually went off more track. You made more assumptions than he did, by the way I read it.
And people don't always reply within 24 hours here. LOL.
Doesn't mean you won the arguement/debate.

Cuz there something to win??

I'll say it again. McCain and Obama are both Christians. And they both have been forced to renouce statements by their church's pastors.

Personally I think it is a little much to judge a candidate by something his pastor says. What next, his high school teacher? His grocer? His mailman?

well, as i am assured you know, that our country likes to do everything by its rules[sometimes]. and if those rules are ever broken, then there will be severe consequenses, in some cases. now if we had a muslim tie, that could go both ways. they could just be friendly with and leave us alone, or they can be freindly and stab us all in the back by an invasioon by any means thought of.


and yes i agree with your last statement. McCains pastor isnt going to well either. i dont vote on these statures, and i never said i did. there ideas on the veiws are more important than anything from outside the race.

Could you clarify what you mean by "invasion"? Its a very strong word.

when i say invasion i mean a surprise attack or well, an invasion.

You honestly believe that having a president who practices Islam would lead to a hostile invasion of the United States by radical muslims?

That's a bit far-fetched, don't you think?

okay dude...please read the last few posts and keep up with the news. he is a christian. and if you are accusing me of saying such things, i never said a word of it.

I'd vote for Obama. I agree with his non-violent, ethical views, for the most part.How, when McCain is intent to keep the troops there? He said as much. If he's so intent on us fighting in a war, he should go there himself. Seriously, why are we still in Iraq?
