How religion guides Palin -- chicagotribune.com


When Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin promised to lead the nation with a "servant's heart," evangelical Christians immediately recognized her as one of their own.


"I can do my job there in developing our natural resources and doing things like getting the roads paved and making sure our troopers have their cop cars and their uniforms and their guns, and making sure our public schools are funded," she said in June to ministry students at her former church. "But really, all of that stuff doesn't do any good if the people of Alaska's heart isn't right with God."


Palin was baptized as an infant in the Roman Catholic church, but she would spend nearly three decades in the Assemblies of God church, the nation's largest Pentecostal denomination and the church of former U.S. Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft.

She now eschews the denominational label, choosing to attend independent churches in Alaska and calling herself a generic Christian when asked. But she remains connected to the Assemblies of God, addressing pastors' conferences and ministry students.

Your desperate grasping shows just how terrified you flaming socialists are. If she was really bad, you'd be celebrating right now. Instead, you are hunched over your keyboard searching for anything to try to bring her down.

It's okay, simpleton. You can admit you are askeered. Admitting your fear is the first step in learning to deal with it.

I'm honestly failing to see the point of this thread, aside from pointing out the obvious... Palin is a Christian.

One of THOSE??????????? Yeah!

Like BObama, Clinton, Carter, Kennedy... geez, the list is pretty long.

Oh, that's right... a democrat Christian is different than a GOP Christian and, therefore, acceptable.

Maybe the leftists are worried she is going to invoke religious law and they can get arrested for sins like pud smacking.

Not so much like those listed. IMO, Sarah Palin actually practices her faith, rather than "in-name-only."

No, no, no.... that's a bad thing. You must not have morals or ethics or beliefs. Having such means you are shoving it down other peoples' throats. Besides, it's the in thing to talk about what you are rather than live what you are.
