>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...
I am a religious person myself, but unfortunately, experience has shown that believing in God - or proclaiming a belief in God, it is not always easy to tell the difference - is NOT a guarantee of a good government. For example, Iran is governed by people who say they believe in God, but at least outside of Iran, its government is not generally considered to be a good government.
Difference in opinions hath cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire... (from Gulliver's Travels)
