The Politics of Religion

Normally I would post this in politics but this article highlights an issue for those who follow a faith.

I will be honest and say that the source - alternet.org - is one that likes to ramp up the fear of the fundamentalist hordes taking over America any day now, but it is the argument of a former fundamental evangelist that got my attention and quote below.

Anyone with an opinion on the beer summit at the White House today? Is this a matter that should grab the President's time and attention or not?

am I ready to be converted?

I have been close to alone in expressing doubts about Obama. I don't like many of the people around him. I don't like much about his financial support. I didn't like his vagueness in the campaign. I think his pullout from Iraq is mostly smoke and mirrors. I look on his renewed war in Afghanistan with horror. But...
