And of course "God" doesn't have a super pack. "God" doesn't need a super pac. It has republicans.

Including in debates. I can't believe that woman got up and asked Bernie if he believes in God, and then when Clinton answered her question about who she prays for Clinton slipped up and said well you know I have been to prayer service with you at your church and have led prayer services at times. I pray for people I know by name.....If this wasn't a plant, there is no such thing as a plant.

He adeptly switched the emphasis from God to wisdom-in-common of religion.

"Do unto others ..."

And the woman who asked the question was, IMHO, so stupid, she didn't realize that he subtly switched the subject.

I loved it when he looked straight at her and said and that means "everybody" friends and enemies alike.

Bernie in his own words:

displaying your wishes when you do it in a group. And then after praying hoping miraculously somebody or something that might be able to help you is listening.

but....if you are expecting an answer from some miraculous entity to try to tell yourself you're talking to someone or something else. I've seen it happen, was raised going to church as a youngster, could never figure it out. Don't get me wrong, I believe in spirituality, but that band of religion, well let's just say I find it sort or cult like.

or start knocking on doors. "Two hands doing good work accomplish more then 1,000 clasp in prayer"... with all do respect.
