That they are listening to internal voices and some guy wearing a collar on what direction they should go on issues.

It raises questions about their leadership ability if they need to be comforted by invisible beings.

Funny, Bush claims he speaks directly to God and has a major role in Armageddon... Iranian leader Amad... Imanutjob thinks the missing Iman will come if he hastens Armageddon..
It boils down to inbred nuts ruling the world!
God's word is divine but man's interpretation is called Religion!
Now, what do you think of that?

I agree with Barack Obama's statements that faith is a powerful and good force in individual lives and in religious communities but in our melting pot of a society we need values and decisions to be subject to public, objective, and universal criteria. If a politician wants to make decisions for the rest of us based only on their faith's directive, that's not good. If their faith is part of their conviction but they are willing to engage a secular debate on the topic, I think that is a good thing.

If a politician said that I would just assume that they were trying to gain favour with certain crowds.
I mean, I am a Christian, but I don't believe a word any politician says.

So long as they don't start believing that God is acting through them or something... those are the dangerous ones. The people who attempt to use religion and the beliefs of others to gain power.

It means that they are either a fundamentalist wacko (like Bush, Romney, and the other republican cast). Or they are mostly lying in order to be electable (Hillary, Obama, Kerry).

Jared Diamond used a very interesting phrase in "Guns, Germs and Steel." It was "religion in service to kleptocracy."

It does spook me. It's a turn-off.
Just knowing that they're Christian isn't what bothers me, but when they need to talk about it publicly, then it seems weird. I don't need to hear about their "relationship" with Jesus any more than I want to hear about their underpants or bathroom habits.

Well, good question . It should be something great just if they r not lying. Sometimes they say so just to give ppl trust to elect them or so.
If they r lying , they would be shame onChristianity.
Good Luck!!

It's usually a huge steaming pile of crap said to pander to the Jesus-followers who vote.
