They should be honest and unashamed about their faith without using it to garner votes. And the voters should consider carefully the policies espoused, to judge their consistency with biblical values of justice and mercy.

"If anyone among you seems to be religious and keeps not a tight bridle on his tongue, his religion is vain. Pure religion, and undefiled before the Father, is this: to visit widows and orphans and to keep oneself unspotted from the World," as James put it in the first chapter of his epistle.

We need to do something about you, despite the Republicans goal of cutting taxes for the wealthy and giving handouts to people making $100,000 a year or more, the biggest problem in America are people like you, who buy into the Republicscum practices because they cater to people like you and make believe they are Religious people

Did anyone inquire as to The Lord's views on Thompson?

What, exactly, does this ancient topic have anything to do with the present?
Answer: not a damned thing. Thompson isn't going to run. He's history. Put this one back in the grave where it belongs.

Just curious, why is an 8 year old thread being reborn especially when the guy that the OP is referring to isn't even a candidate?
