>>>>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 actually suspect religious politicians. When push comes to shove, which loyalty will they chose - to their religion or their people? These may not necessarily mean the same thing, and the situation may leave them with a hard choice, whereby they'd have to betray one or the other.
>>>
>>>I'd prefer one where there's no such dilemma involved.
>>
>>Ditto. When you select a person for religious reasons, do you really know that you get the right person? Maybe you end up with some lunatic.

>>The way I see it, believing in a God or not has nothing to do with people's other characteristics. Some people thinks that people who believe in a God are better people, which I think is completely wrong. Some people are bad people "in the name of God", and some are good people "in the name of God". And some people are just bad people or good people.

>Genuine belief in God is not just by professing it but in deeds and words as well. We are a fallen race by default. We can't repair our rotten characters. One can be better than the other depending on the upbringing and environment s/he lives in. But our dead spirit must be quicken by the Creator through surrender of self as Blaise Pascal says "There is a vacuum inside us which can't be filled by anything else in the world, except by his/er creator." (paraphrasing).

Keep on dreaming. Personally I live in the reality and base my knowledge on experience, not on theory.

>>
>>Personally I have many friends, some believe and some don't, and I really couldn't care less about that. What they believe or not is, and should be, a personal matter. What's important is how these people are and behave, period.
>>
>>NB! I write "a God" on purpose, in respect for people who have another "God". So with God I mean "any God".
