Karl Rove: Atheist?

Personally, I don't think that believing in God is the same as having faith in God.

 

Ineresting point Ace.

I heard someone compare people sitting in pews to people playing "Deal or No Deal." They're supposed to believe that the case they have has the million dollars, but when put to the test, they'll trade that case.

 

1) This is news? To me, re Rove, it's WhoGAS. Of equal importance to U.S. political thought: The City of Boryeong is perhaps best known for its annual mud festival and mud cosmetics.
2) Should evangelical Christians be without representation in the two major parties? It seems to me that both Barrack Obama and Hillary Clinton have made a bid for their vote. Shouldn't they?
3) If you don't like hypocrisy in politics, you don't like politics.
[OK, broke my promise to stay clear of this crap until I have 500 posts. I'm now going to shoot for 1,000 before my next foray into the art of the possible.]

 

If true, I don't know why this is so alarming or surprising.

Politics is the art of pandering.

Would it be better if Rove actually believed that the world was created in six days 6,000 years ago? Would that make him a more palatable figure? I don't see how. Are many Republicans happy to use evangelicals and fundamentalists to achieve their goals? Of course, why shouldn't they be?

 

No. They aren't a state. They should not get to have representation.

 

One thing's for sure--God does not believe in Rove.

She has special things planned for him when he buys the farm.

 

If I'd gotten spanked in the 2006 elections and my guy was hovering at 28 percent approval, I'd have a hard time believing in God.

 

But Rove believes in W?

 

Editor 1, me 0. (Unless you're deliberately using the sarcasm font this time, which would also work.)

 

Did I miss something?
Are Kerry and Kennedy excommunicate?
If they're not, then Chris's point about their relative Catholicism is, well, irrelevant. They can receive the sacraments, partake in the fellowship of the Mass, and be part of the people of God until the church formally says they can't.
And his points about Rove require that you believe Rove ever speaks in any political context with a modicum of good faith.
Uh, no.
Otherwise, who cares? If this story is to prove that the "religious" right in the country is more concerned with its politics than with its religion -- they'll gladly vote for an atheist who says the right things about the womb babies -- and that it therefore is subject to be played for suckers, well, there's no news there.

 

My Bible says the earth was created in 6,000 years six days ago.

Of course, I'm dyslexic.
