And I'd be the first one to hold her feet to the fire on that one. My S-I-L held the same opinion and I asked her once why she thought George Bush was a Christian? Because he SAYS so??? I added what my mother had always told me. "Action speaks louder than words". And then I left it alone. I've known far too many so-called Christians who aren't even on their best behavior while inside the church so saying that you're a Christian means absolutely nothing to me. I have to see that, by your actions and the way you treat your fellow human being, to believe such a claim.

But I digress...

In general, the only POTUS in the past 50 years that lived a Christian life, is cursed as an example of a failed POTUS by those that call themselves Christians.

Nonsense.

Several Presidents have been Christians in the past 50 years.

Jimmy Carter was the first to run for office touting the fact. Perhaps that's why Dems hate Christians so, because although he was an honorable person, he was an inept President and embarrassed them greatly. He caused the loss of the White House for the next 12 years.

Christians are not the only ones who acknowledge Carter's failed performance. Not by a long shot.

Anyone old enough to remember double digit interest rates, rampant inflation and soaring unemployment of the late '70s will tell you what a lousy job he did.

After being touted by the media as unbelievably smart, a master of detail , blah blah (the same things we heard about Clinton I, the same things we used to hear about Clinton II) , Carter showed that he wasn't up to the job.

It was after Watergate, so Dems figured ANYone should be able to win the WH in 1976. They were so careless and 'looking for an outsider' to fix the Washington mess. This led them to send an inexperienced but likable fellow to do the job.

Sound familiar?

'Present' Obama is the new Jimmy Carter -- likable, but inept. An 'outsider' who can fix Washington. And after the Iraq war, ANY Democrat ought to be able to win, right?

From what I interperate you're equating Bush II to the failure of Nixon?

BTW I said "Lived the Christian Life." None of the other so called professed Christians has walked the walk.

Perhaps Gandhi hit yhe nail on the head

um. No... you hardly qualify as annoying, but that person you depicted talking to RL was spot on.

I think those people are listening to themselves more than speaking to another person. The 'witnessing' becomes a pitch for them. It's a way to reassure themselves that they have something which is real; an odd form of self-hypnosis, they are talking to you but their real focus is on themselves. It has to be because in most cases what they are saying is rejected and they have to go on believing.

And it doesn't matter what they are pushing: god, vitamins, white raisin juice, LSD -( the acid or the Church) or, as seen on FoxNews, a political slant. Just watch them operate.

They aren't disappointed in the end if they haven't brought you into the light as long as they themselves are still intact.
