Reply #204: I understand your point of view.

Yes, I'm familiar with the UCC, and it's the polar opposite of the "Church of Christ," Texas-style, that I grew up with. Are you saying Obama belongs to that church?

I have to part company with you with regard to Obama, or anyone else, making faith talk in the political arena. It's absolutely a sign of the weakening of the principle of separation of church and state. I've become so offended by it that I often say, a *little* bit tongue-in-cheek: "I don't care how big it is, put it back inside your overcoat."

No, I don't think Obama is a Dominionist, nor have I felt that John Edwards is. But there is that little fact that Edwards presided over an official Prayer Breakfast, which is the baby of The Fellowship. I have to wonder if Obama has attended one or several of those.

In short, go to church, get inspiration from that, but keep it out of our government. Want some of what I'm smoking? It's GOOOOOOD! :)
