The sinfulness of man means that nobody should be given too much power. There should be a separation and balancing of powers. That was the beauty of our Founding Fathers. They recognized that because they were heavily influenced by the Puritans of their day. The sinfulness of man is also why government should not get too big. carter didn't recognize that. Besides all that, Carter has proven himself to be a vain and bitter person. Certainly not an example of good Christian character. As for Clinton, he only faked being a Christian, carrying his big Bible to church so that the media could see it.
