This protestant considers you a FRiend.

SampleMan,

That is very generic answer.. unfortunately some of us prefer to give a more detailed answer that accurately reflects how/what we actually believe not just a PC response.... but thanks for sharing anyway..

[davidosborne]

my pleasure... thanks for reading it :)

RE: Post #23

[PigRigger]

I truly wish this man had a realistic chance to be President...

[pissant]

Back at you! from which denomination do you hail?

[cripplecreek]

Methodist in exile.

[frogjerk]

I too read pissant’s response and initially reacted negatively but I did not post. After looking for context on the statement made by pissant, because I know from previous posts pissant is a good freeper, I now understand what he was saying and agree with him.

[Mr. Mojo]

“Do you believe in every word of this book?”

Can you imagine the Democrat candidates being asked this question? It would never happen. Ever.

[davidosborne]

PigDigger,

He DOES.. quit looking at the MSM polls and vote your HEAD/HEART in the PRIMARY.. and let God worry about the stupid polls,,,,, :)

TOWARD VICTORY..

Remember not a SINGLE vote has been cast yet.. it is FAR from over..

[Sopater]

He said his favorite scripture are the ones beginning in Chapter 9 verse 11.

That doesn't answer the question.

[pissant]

Hey, Laura and GW are Methodists, I believe.

[pissant]

It should have read: I do not have any use for Protestantism.

[Manic_Episode]

God bless Duncan Hunter.

[righting-wrongs]

I too am getting excited about Hunter, everything I have read about him sounds good thus far. Love his answer to the question. Finally, a politician willing to give a clear “yes” or “no” answer.

[davidosborne]

He said his favorite scripture are the ones beginning in Chapter 9 verse 11.

LOL... Has he EVER answered a single question that did not include the numbers 9 & 11?

[PigRigger]

He has my vote, and my support...

I don't believe he will get the nomination, but I hope he is invited to be the VP candidate.....

IMHO, I think a Thompson/Hunter Ticket would make a very formidable combination.

[ItsOurTimeNow]

I caught one of the debates where someone asked if the candidates believed in creation or evolution. I think Huckabee answered that he was a creationist, while Guliani had a ridiculous smirk on his face as if to say “Can you BELIEVE what this guy is saying!”.

Guliani is no more a Christain than Mullah Omar, in my point of view, based on what he’s said and what he’s done.

[Ultra Sonic 007]

Ping of interest!

Wow. Love the response.

[SampleMan]

And if they asked "boxers or briefs" would you also give a detailed answer? The point of the question was to create a religious test (by the MSM) that should be addressed and refuted first and foremost.

I want to know about a potential POTUS's general morality base and whether they uphold Western/Christian values. As we do not have a State Church, I don't need to know about whether the candidate believes in predestination, purgatory, or a literal Adam and Eve. Attempts to take a candidate down that path are directed squarely on baiting a Republican candidate into saying something that will offend some faith or denomination.

That is not PC, it is staying on subject and refusing to play your opponent's game.

[Tulsa Ramjet]

Well, anyone after the fact can be eloquent. I wish he was able to answer it. Maybe he should have made his answer known immediately after to a reporter.

But at least his after-the-fact reply is on record, and should satisfy some people. Unlike Romney who says religion ends at the door of the whitehouse, which I find strange. I like romney, but I didn’t feel like there was a huge need to have a speech about it. The only people that wanted to hear it are the ones that are curious about the year of food in the basement, and the multiple wives doctrine.
