Hillary speaks out about her faith in this article in NY Times. Another wasted 2,000 words in my opinion. Was it of interest? Somewhat. In that same way I'd love 2,000 words on what's in her pantry, what kind of shampoo she uses, what books are stacking up on the nightstand, etc. Stuff. Fluff stuff. Always of interest but a waste of space compared to the precious time that was shoved aside that could have been devoted to real issues that shape a President of the United States.
You can argue that one's religion is a GUH-REAT indicator of how they would act as president. Fine. Then let's share that info. But do we have to debate over it? And question each other's faiths over it. The same way we tighten the thumbscrews on Iraq, health care, poverty, immigration, etc?
It's a waste of space folks. And anyone saying otherwise is just trying to distract from the real issues. Religion is personal. It is for me. I think it is for everyone that is truly faithful to their religion. Those looking to pimp their spirituality on others for power or gain are just sinners.
