Reply #76: Religious Democrats should attempt to bring God into their words [View All]

[Chicago Democrat]

by using non-denominational words such as "creator" "the diety" cautiously but IT CAN BE DONE... We need to set the PROPER EXAMPLE!


LISTEN TO Franklin Roosevelt......

His fireside chats were steeped with non-threatening references to god. Once in a while, we need to make statements about the variety of religious doctrines, BUT THEN DRAW SOME COMMONALITY from them all. This is really hard to do, and even harder to pull off. Bill Clinton did it. Roosevelt did it. In classy cool ways that spoke to the underlying common ethics that permeate all faiths that can really speak to everybody and engage in debate especially our evangelical 'enemies'.

Can we all agree that murder is evil?

Can we all agree that stealing is wrong?

Can we all agree that lying is a sin?


I think we can... I think there is a way...
