And I'm really getting annoyed with this idea that Christianity is a litness test for holding office in this country. Or any religious belief or none for that matter. Religion should be one of the LAST things we base choosing our candidates upon. I'm not saying this lady is has a 13th century mindset because she's Christian--no, I'm saying that because she seems to view the world in a simplistic manner. The Christian thing is just bad politics.
It's such a tribal, sectarian division that we don't need in politics. There's a reason why we have a separation of church and state--it's protect BOTH. There's also a reason why if a religious group advocates politics from the pulpit that they get their tax exempt status yanked. I'm not anti-Christian or religion. I just am tried of seeing it merge too much with government. I hope Arizona rejects this lady but then again Arizona is going completely off a cliff right now politically.

As an upstanding Christian myself HBW, I find it an affront to God, bordering on blasphemy that anyone invoke Him as a reason to vote for him or herself.
@Truth...I can see how you'd feel that way. I would too if I were Christian. Or if someone liker her were using Buddhism (my faith) to get votes. Anyone who needs to flaunt their religious belief so much tells me that she has a shallow view of that religion.p
