Does anyone know where Hillary Clinton goes to church?

[Radical Activist]

Or if she goes to church? Does anyone know what her pastor or church teaches?

I guess its only an issue when its a black pastor that says things white people find uncomfortable?

1. I don't give a shit where any of them go to church

8. Oh yeah

I've read about that. Scary shit. If I have to choose between a candidate with a radical left wing black activist pastor and one with a scary right wing Christian Coalition type I don't have to think twice.

23. That's not a church

Hillary Clinton is a Methodist. She attends the weekly Senate Prayer Group meetings, as do other Democrats. John Edwards was co-chair of the group when he was in the Senate.

At the House of Bill

3. The one where the cameras are.

[MonkeyFunk]

24. Really?

How many times do you see footage of her going to church?

Do you realize that she was quite known and admired in the Senate for NOT being a camera hog? They expected her to be, but she impressed her colleagues by keeping her head low, working hard, and letting others take the credit and the limelight.

4. And Everyone Seems To Forget That Half Of Obama's

family is white and that he is half white. Do people really believe he hates himself and his own family. Friggen ridiculous. That alone tells me that the preacher is probably not all that controversial for the most part.

7. Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster?

If she knows what's good for her.

[Not the Only One]

16. I have never seen Hillary at the United Churches of the FSM

She must only come on the holidays.

[papau]

9. Last 55 years just about every Sunday you can find her in a Methodist Church

[goclark]

10. Didn't I read that she was in an on going Bible study with McCain? nt

11. You don't get it

Obama has been riding the religion train. I said 6 months ago he was getting too religious. Now his religion is being scrutinized. This a GOP tactic. The GOP Christians don't even like each other, he will never survive their game. Clinton has said she has faith and has not connected to any spiritual leader or religious ideology. This was a good call on her part.

Those of us who are very wary of religion have liked that we don't equate religion to politics. I think Obama should have never said he had a "mentor" or a "spiritual leader" that doesn't equate (in my mind) to a self confident candidate. I don't get why anyone would "follow" or be "advised" by another person unless you had issues.

13. It's a game you gotta play in US politics.

And I think he will survive it.

I too long for a stricter enforcement of the separation between church and state. I think it's ludicrous that atheists, agnostics and followers of alternative religions don't stand much of a chance in US politics, but I do realize that it's a necessary evil in terms of running for a major office in this country.

Because of the whole Wright episode, he has been established as a Christian, and it blows that 'secret Muslim' whispering campaign clean out of the water.

And if he stacks his faith up against McCain, I think he walks away with that comparison. Because Gramps isn't much of a church-goer and Obama has been at the same church for 20 years.

And let's remember that religion is a very subjective, personal thing. You or I may not feel the need for a spritual advisor or even a guiding faith, but we can't apply our standard to everyone. That's why there's freedom of religion here - so people can practice (or not) whichever religion they feel works for them.

21. I disagree

Bad move, bad move for him and us. I will not pander to the religious right and I feel this turn to religion will fracture the Democratic Party. It utterly disgusts me and he put himself in it himself. Instead of banding together to beat the GOP he and others have given them ammunition. We should be already moving toward the defeat of Mccain and not defending ourselves and attacking within. How can we be so stupid?

[frazzled]

12. No, but I remember Jimmy Carter's (racist) church

I wrote this in another post, but I guess I should keep repeating it, because many of you don't go back that far.

Jimmy Carter belonged to a segregated church in Plains, Georgia. It barred black people from becoming members. Although Jimmy Carter himself disagreed with this, he took lots of heat for not leaving that church--he never did till almost 20 years after he left the presidency. Yet we admire Jimmy Carter in many ways (despite comments he has made over the past years that have been perhaps as controversial as Rev. Wright's in some ways).

You are not your church.

15. Let me guess ... The Church of Hillary?

And she looks in a mirror and worships herself?

:hide:

[Stephanie]

20. hah hah hah!

18. First Church of Bitter Biggots, Palm Springs

Rev. Billie Jean King presiding.

22. No. It's a sickening racist double standard

People even yawn in the wake of Parsley and Hagee's comments: They are given a pass. They are white men and therefore they are allowed to say anything.
