Reply #32: Let's play "Who Said That?"

Match the Democratic primary candidate to the statement (s)he gave to this question:

"My question is to understand each candidates' view of a personal God. Do they believe that, through the power of prayer, disasters like Hurricane Katrina or the Minnesota bridge collapse could have been prevented or lessened?"

1) "I am very dependent on my faith and prayer is a big part of that."

2) "The power of prayer I think is important to all of us. I hope it is, recognizing that we don't do anything without His approval."

3) "I think it is enormously important to look to God--and, in my case, Christ--for guidance and for wisdom. But I don't think you can prevent bad things from happening through prayer."

4) "What I believe in is love. And love implements courage. And courage permits us all to apply the virtues that are important in life."

5) "I pray. I'm a Roman Catholic. My sense of social justice, I believe, comes from being a Roman Catholic. But, in my judgment, prayer is personal. And how I pray and how any American prays, for what reason, is their own decision. And it should be respected."

6) "...No, all the prayer in the world will not stop a hurricane. But prayer will give you the courage to be able to respond to the devastation that's caused in your life and with others to deal with the devastation."

7) "What I pray for is the strength and the wisdom to be able to act on those things that I can control. And that's what I think has been lacking sometimes in our government."

8) "Now, the founders meant to have separation of church and state, but they never meant America to be separate from spiritual values. As president, I'll bring strong spiritual values into the White House..."
