My point is, aside from someone's qualification as a public servant, add to that "God-fearing" characteristic. That's why I mentioned "skills only" in some of my statements. Not just being religious, but God-fearing, he can be a Catholic, a Methodist, Baptist, etc. A God-fearing person can be easily be known by his deeds.

>You're missing my point completely. You're picking one characteristic and let that single characteristic decide whether someone is qualified for a position or not. In other words, you're saying that one characteristic has enough value to let all the other characteristics be not important.

>>>I am so offended by your statement. Does one single and completely unrelated characteristic of a person decide whether someone is better fitted to an important position or not?

>>>I use glasses, which is one of my characteristics. So using your logic, I would be a good pope.

>>It's Sarah Palin not Tore Bleken. Of course I'll not say Tore Bleken can be a good president just because he is God-fearing. The former is already a public servant for long, a vice-presidential candidate before; has track records; etc. Tore Bleken doesn't have those...

>>>>No matter how brilliant a man, s/he can't be a good president if s/he is not God fearing. I think Sarah Palin can be a good U.S. president...
