Sarah Palin is a Christian so she can’t hold political office

Sarah Palin is a Christian so she can’t hold political office. Is that the message that we’re supposed to get?

“The enforcers of Militant Secular Orthodoxy are pushing the God button again. I don’t usually get involved in politics but this is really more of a theological matter that the anti-theists are trying to press into their political agenda, so I might as well chime in. The accusation, if such a thing could actually be taken to be an accusation, is that Sarah Palins got religion. Not just that, because when Barack Obama gets religion it seems to be acceptable, but Palin’s religion is historically orthodox and she actually believes what it teaches. As long as someone is a member of a religion to which they give no actual credence, that kind of thing is acceptable to the theologically challenged and agnostically confused. They then call it “spirituality” because that doesn’t imply a meaningful claim about the real world. But she actually believes things; spooky God things.

So do I, and to the shock and embarrassment of the hardcore secularists, so do most people.”
