McCain's wife use to travel with Mother Teresa and adopted a child during those travels and the McCains are pro-life. That works for me. The rest is his own personal journey.

Maybe he likes listening to the Baptist minister’s sermons and enjoys being with the people who are members. I have no problem with his being an Episcopalian. Does he attend a church in the Washington, D.C. area?

Raised Episcopalian, but not baptized as an infant? Ha! Raised by false convert parents. Pedo’s? You got anything to say about that?

Attends a Baptist Megachurch? A Baptist church not dunking the guy? Do they think he is unregenerate, and do not want to do it for that reason?

If not then, any Baptist church worth its tithe should be pushing for BAPTISM, or disciplining him.

I just wiped out my comment regarding lord McCain, because I do NOT want to upset the lord McCain worshipers who need to post vanities demanding some of US to bend a knee to him.

Christ said you will know people by their fruit.... enough said. I did not think it 'Christian' compassionate for lord McCain to call Dr. Dean of the DNC a 'pig' this morning. I remember that lord McCain did NOT mind or reject lord JFKerry's besmirching of the Vietnam soldiers, but noooooo body ever better say one thing that even hints upon the 'service' being used as vehicle to parlay said service as path to the White House....

That same quote jumped right out at me.

Wonder if the paper misspoke and was referring to a Baptist baptism....

Did Jonathan Martin write a story or a pro-McCain editorial? What a puff piece!

Frankly, I don’t care what religion someone is.

If atheist can represent my political views, I’ll vote for him. (It’s a two kingdoms thing)

There are several “Christian” pastors who I would not even sit under on Sunday morning, much less vote for.

religion should not be a part of secular politics.

McCain is definitely not part of a church that preaches, “God D*mn America, God D*mn White people”.

So McCain isn’t making religious appeals on the campaign trail, is that really a problem? I don’t want the president to be the preacher-in-chief, so McCain not talking about his faith doesn’t bother me. Maybe some religious conservatives will decide that this means he’s insufficiently Christian (I seem to recall Fred Thompson getting those accusations), but I’d suspect such folks would come to the same conclusion about most politicians, Republicans included. I’d also rather McCain not talk about it than try to fake religious fervor he doesn’t have. Some people are more reserved in their faith than others, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Thank Xenu! Nixon, Ike, and Reagan didn't spend half their time talking about their religion! Reagan didn't even attend Church on a regular basis.

We need to go back to the old days when we didn't give a damn about what someone's theological views were, and focused on their ability to uphold the constitution and lead our nation.

I blame Carter, our first "born again" president, for bringing this BS into national politics.
