If you're going to vote for somebody because you think they have a great faith in God, you'd better be sure that God has faith in them.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A candidate's faith is not the only consideration, but should be a major consideration in electing the president of the United States.
It's important to ask candidates about their beliefs, in part because politicians frequently exploit religious faith - often with the idea that voters will be more likely to unthinkingly accept certain political positions so long as they arise from religious belief.
Your vote can't be separated from your faith.
If God had wanted us to vote, he would have given us candidates.
I have come to the conclusion that while a candidate's faith matters, what's most important is how he or she applies that faith.
The faith religious believers have in God is small compared to the faith people put in politicians, knowing how many times they have been disappointed in the past but still insisting that this time it will be different.
Do I think faith will be an important part of being a good president? Yes, I do.
If the gods had intended for people to vote, they would have given us candidates.
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.
Politicians read the polls that show 85 or 90 percent of the voters profess a belief in God, so they identify themselves with religion, often only to the degree necessary to reach the constituency they are targeting.
