Politico ex religio

So as the presidential primary candidates continue to bombard America with their lack of patience, a thought struck me about what it takes to be a president. This thought comes about due a combination of some of the issues discussed at Fight Club last year: a Christian's ability to be a government officer and Mormonism. What if Mitt Romney is the best candidate precisely because he is not a Christian though he has (many of) the values of Christianity. Yeah, yeah, the war, the death penalty, but he is against stem cells and gave massachusetts insurance: this is just a hypothetical. Could it actually be an assett in looking for presidential candidates if the person is quasi-Christian? Part of the problem with Stanley, RBH, et al and their lambasting of Bush is the implicit challenge to his faith. If there isn't a challenge to the persons faith, how would the Duke Christian (this is a caricature, not a real person) react politically?

Summer season

As Summer is imminent, emminent, and immanent, it is time for those of you out there to start checking the blog more often so our dialog can occur outside of the chapel steps and/or fight club.

So if you have any theological issues that pop up and or politico-culturo-aesthetic issues, please post them or email me (gryngamour at gmail dot com) and I will make you a member so that you can post it. I'm sure to have an opinion, the king is sure to disagree with me, and patristic tom will surely pose a counter-question with marston mentioning mcclendon, Anderas being sarcastic, craig posting a 3000 word response, the prince trying to keep craig in check, and somebody I don't know responding as well.
