I think it's shallowness. Last night Moyers did an interview with a professor who talked about religion in America. She is a philosophy professor who was reared Episcopalian and is now by choice Jewish. She is also agnostic. She made comparisons of how we use religion particularly Christianity in our politics,courts and just about every Government organization. Her position was how harmful it actually is. The candidates rave about endorsements from various preachers and McCain choose to tout the one who recommended him. Trouble is that preacher said Katrina was caused by gays and lesbians going to have a parade in New Orleans. Wright's sermon has been used to demonize Obama. He sat there for 21 years and listened to him and Hillary uses this too which I am upset about but the point is.... why bring where one goes to church. What one believes..into a political arena. Cannot we not accept a person by his or her ideas on how to help America become a better country ? We know that some of the most religious persons use it as a cover for their own sexual peccadillo's.. When are we going to be a nation that keeps church and state truly separate. Madison wrestled with this question when he was in office. I would be all for it.
