186. I agree....those quotes are truly scary. Too messianic for my liking.
I am no longer formally religious....spiritual, but not religious, so maybe I'm more easily concerned about the dangers of religion permeating secular decisions.

I remember seeing a teevee program on the History Channel or PBS a year ago or so about Hillary and her "prayer group". It stuck me as odd because I don't think of HRC as being devotely religious, at least overtly,...but now, after reading what you've written and linked, I find her religiousity frightening because we don't hear much about it. Will it guide her actions if elected president? My guess is, yes. Religion has been a cause for war throughout history. Now I think of her part in securing over a billion dollars for the state of NY in 2006 in military expenditures troublesome... and yet she says she will end war.

It's almost too much to think about, and then I remember that we knew so little about G.W. prior to his election I don't want to see us making the same mistake again. Thanks for this post.
