I have a southern baptist friend who says it's god's will that only a
christian can be elected president of the USA. No Jews. She heard this
from
her pastor, who runs Cornerstone Baptist whatever in Nashville. Big
business, lots of believers like my friend.

Funny how clowns like that seem unable to read the Constitution:
"No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office
or
public trust under the United States." [Article VI, paragraph 3]


These people believe we are a "Christian nation". I once asked my friend if
she'd ever read the actual writings of people like Jefferson or Hamilton.
She said "I don't have to. The pastor has read them. I listen to him." I've
pointed out to her that she's walking into a gigantic cash register every
Sunday, but that tends to have a deleterious effect on our conversations,
even though I find it funny.
