On Faith
Which candidate would you rather go to Church with? Be in a Bible Study with? Pray with?
These are serious questions that pollsters are asking Americans.
Religion and faith will play a huge role in the presidential election. The role of faith came to the forefront with the rise of George W. Bush to the White House in 2000. The Democratic Party appeared inept when it came to issues of faith.
However, Barack Obama appears comfortable talking about religion and faith. On the other hand, McCain holds his faith close to his heart and rarely speaks of it. They will come together on August 16th for a forum on faith in a California Mega-Church to discuss the issue.
Is it a requirement for McCain have to speak frequently on faith? John McCain’s source of spirituality may be different than yours, but is that a good reason to not vote for a presidential candidate? Many say yes – many say no. I guess that’s why we all get a vote.
TIME Magazine features an essay on faith from each presidential candidate. These are worth reading.
