re: #383 avanti

Her extreme religious views. The concept that if I don’t have a clue as to what to do, Jesus will make it ok. i.e. the quote “God’s will has to be done in unifying people and companies to get that gas line built. So pray for that.”
I may be a agnostic, but I’d think God does not take a position on gas lines, She’s a creationist, once had the demons driven out of her body and the rest.

I agree with you on this. God does not take a position on building gas lines, and it’s dangerous to claim otherwise. I also was quite concerned by her saying, in that same speech, something to the effect that fighting the war in Iraq was “doing God’s work.” It’s worth noting that she said those things in church, not in a political speech, but it still bothered me.

Having said that, given the choice between what went on in Palin’s church and what went on in Obama’s church, I’ll take Palin’s church in a heartbeat.
