RELIGIOUS BELIEF SHOULD BE AN ISSUE

If a Presidential candidate thinks the Bible is literally true, then we need to know that because that implies the candidate is psycho.  This would rule out a Southern Baptist:
The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. It reveals the principles by which God judges us, and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the world the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried. All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation.
And if the conservatives want to bring up Rev. Wright, I say "bring it on" because Mormonism is a crock.

This is not how a liberal should treat the manner, Steve.

You might not realize it, but since various Southern Baptists have a variety of interpretations of key elements of the Bible, the terminology in the statement of faith as per the matter of whole truth turns out to be not particularly rigid as actually practised.

I was under the impression Wright had offered recent criticisms of O, but evidently I was mistaken as I can't find them.

The quotes in the Klein book are unuseful from what I read. If Wright is really pro-Palestinian and "anti-colonial" he would be delineating how Obama has betrayed
by intent and/or ineffectuality
both causes assuming he once had affinity therewith.
