Lately it seems all the leading presidential candidates are discussing
their religious and moral beliefs — even when they'd rather not. Indeed, seven years after George W. Bush won the presidency in part with a direct appeal to conservative religious voters — even saying during a debate that Jesus Christ was his favorite philosopher — the personal faith of candidates has become a very public part of the presidential campaign.
I always laugh when I hear that Jesus is Bush's favorite philosopher. Why? Because Jesus' philiosophies are completely at odds with George Bush's policies. Like the bumper sticker says: "Who would Jesus bomb?"
