"I Support The United Church of Christ Pastoral Letter On The Iraq War"
How Do I Really Feel About Tom Potter?

John McCain Is A Christian. Period. Does Anyone Care?

I guess there has been some chatter about what denomination John McCain belongs to.  CNN reports:

LEXINGTON, South Carolina (CNN) — Republican presidential candidate John McCain told reporters at an American Legion Hall here Monday that he is a Christian, and that questions about his specific religious denomination are beside the point.

"There's been some talk about my religious persuasion," said the Arizona Senator, referring to a weekend report by the Associated Press that McCain said he was a Baptist although he has long identified himself as an Episcopalian.

"I was raised in the Episcopal Church and attended high school, it was a high school called Episcopal High School. I have attended North Phoenix Baptist Church for many years, and the most important thing is that I'm a Christian, and I don't have anything else to say about the issue," McCain said.

In America it shouldn't matter what your religion is. 

Is McCain a Baptist?  Is McCain Episcopalian?  Is he even a Christian?  He could be a Jew who visits a Hindu temple for all I care. 

What matters is his vision, his values and the policies he promotes.  He won't get my vote not because of where he goes to church on Sundays but because of his views on the war.
