Karen -

It doesn't bother me at all that Obama would profess his Christian faith in front of a small audience of Christian clerics.

The Constitution says there should be "no religious test" to determine whether any candidate is qualified for office in this country. To me that means that he can believe whatever he wants to believe, and talk about it when he thinks it's appropriate to do so. I don't think he chose an inappropriate time to talk about it last Friday.

Obama did not suggest, as Huckabee did more than once, that we need to amend the Constitution to conform to God's laws. He didn't proclaim that this is a "Christian nation".

So I'll just remain calm. I think outrage would be very much misplaced.
