Here’s some background on HClinton’s “faith”. Bob Woodward wrote a book years ago in which he details Hillary channeling Elanor Roosevelt and Ghandi. When the psychic tried to get her to channel Jesus Christ, Hillary refused.
She doesn’t believe in God at all.

JUST ONE MORE CLINTON LIE.

I read somewhere that she puts voodoo symbols on the White House Christmas tree

Post 43 & 44 suggest that hillary isn’t humanist/secularist at all, but some twisted pagan. Weird.

Other people who were “not secular or awkward” about their faith: Bill Clinton (the famous rapist and abortionist), Jim Jones, Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, Ayatollah Khomeini, Mohammed Atta, Nero, Diocletian, Henry VIII (adulterer, sadist, murderer), Elizabeth I (fornicator, murderer), L. Ron Hubbard, Anton LeVay, Jimmy Carter (abortionist)...

Since the lamestream media have decreed that those who perform abortions are now “abortion doctors,” I suggest that henceforth the word “abortionist” be applied to those who have traditionally been called “pro-abortion.” It’s simpler to write and pronounce, and it’s consistent with English usage regarding “isms” and their adherents: Marxism/Marxist, etc. Thus: Hillary is an abortionist, John Kerry is an abortionist, Ted Kennedy is an abortionist. And the question continues to divide the Catholic bishops of the U.S.: “May an abortionist receive Communion?”

If you vote for an abortionist, you are yourself an abortionist. Can a person be both a Catholic and an abortionist?

If you analyse what she really believes in, you’ll see she is some twisted something, apologies to real pagans

You can brush your teeth religiously. I’m sure Hillary is religiously pursuing her goal of becoming President.

religious definition
adj.
1. Having or showing belief in and reverence for God or a deity.
2. Of, concerned with, or teaching religion: a religious text.
3. Extremely scrupulous or conscientious: religious devotion to duty.

“She worships Marx and Power!”

“Religious distress is at the same time the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people. The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is required for their real happiness. The demand to give up the illusion about its condition is the demand to give up a condition which needs illusions.”

Karl Marx, Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right

If Hillary the Heinous I is elected, our country as we now know it will cease to exist.

Barf alert needed indeed. This story sounds a bit like a press release from her campaign. Her press guys must have floated this story to the post in an effort to gain some sympathy from the more religious center. It seems contrived.

I don’t think Hill is a devil worshiper, etc and she may actually believe in a God. Whatever, I don’t necessarily care. This seems like pandering to me and I doubt this will sell. It strikes me the same way as her wearing a New York Yankees hat. She just doesn’t wear it well.

“...participates regularly in small-group Bible studies” Ha, ha, ha. I simply don’t believe it. If she does, it is likely for political purposes.

On one hand,I agree with you.Man’s spiritual longings and need for meaning cannot be easily suppressed by the Godless sorts who use religion as a mask for their power hungry ambitions.
Yet look at Europe.Materialism and humanism are rampant over there and very few young people claim to be Christians.Many blame the Islamist surge but it goes deeper than that.Europeans have been pushing socialism as the successor to Christian values for decades now.

What a crock! When she first moved to Arkanasas, she sought out the most prolific Abortionist in the State to be her personal Gyno. Religious? Right! /s

Hillary is a communist. Communist doctrine excludes all religion.

People are using this thread to beat up on Hillary, but Gerson raises a very, very important point here:
That [opposition to Hillary because of abortion] might change under one circumstance: if Rudy Giuliani were the Republican nominee. Whatever Giuliani promised concerning the appointment of conservative judges, a pro-choice Republican nominee would blur the contrast between the parties on abortion. And between two pro-choice options, a larger number of religious voters might support the one with a stronger emphasis on poverty -- because, after all, Jesus did have a lot to say about how we treat the poor.
If it's Hillary v. Giuliani, I won't be voting for anybody. But I know a great many weekly churchgoers who will pick Hillary.

Hillary worships power.
I guess you could call that a religion.

I see the hillary pimps are swinging Bibles again. Just like old Billyboy singing in the choir so he could sit right behind the preacher and be seen every Sunday morning on Arkansas TV.

Hillary Clinton is a cynical flaming atheist and anyone who thinks otherwise is a dupe.

Reinhold Niebuhr, Paul Tillich and Dietrich Bonhoeffer -- the theological heroes of mainline

"Mainliners" always adopt Bonhoeffer so they can bask in the reflected glory of a theologian who would savage them if he knew. This is the man who said "When Jesus calls you He bids you come and die." Then lived it.

Ironically they omit Richard Niebuhr, one of Bonhoeffer's mentors at Union and who warned against "A God without wrath, who saves men without sin, to a Kingdom without judgment through a Christ without a Cross." That was written in about 1928 IIRC, echoed later by Bonhoeffer when he defined "Cheap Grace" in very similar words, and defines the Mainline, now and forever.
