We'll no doubt see an African-American, a woman, and a gay person there before we see an atheist.<BR/><BR/>If you get a minute, take a look at an earlier post called Barack Obama and Religion / Secularism. In it I kind of spell out why he gives me hope that we might at least be headed in the right direction if he becomes elected.Bill Cooneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07877676340567105536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038032059747160770.post-42695368714803961732008-09-02T07:21:00.000-04:002008-09-02T07:21:00.000-04:00I do not think that we will see in our lifetime (W...I do not think that we will see in our lifetime (We seem to be somewhat close in age, I am 46) a non-Christian candidate for Presidency. <BR/><BR/>And yet, I still look at Obama and the name alone scares me...I openly admit that, and I will again attribute it to 911. If that makes me a racists then forget the Kagaroo Court, I will admit my guilt.<BR/><BR/>I know the experts have said that Islam is one of thee most passive religions, but like any organized religion you have your fanatics who ruin it for those who are trying to do good works in the name of their 'God'. <BR/><BR/>I am sitting here, talking to my husband who has been a non beliver since childhood(Great story). And I was telling him that I would love to see an agnostic or aeithist in the White House. But we will never see it in our life time...if ever.<BR/><BR/>Why do these candidates even capitulate to any sort of screening? Do they not declare their religious roots pretty much from the beginning? So why bother with this interrogati...I meant to say interview in the first place?<BR/><BR/>Something is wrong with the system, but I am guessing you already knew that!<BR/><BR/>P.S.
