93. Sorry. Just can't agree. No religious test.
No testing of people's religion.

Anti-Catholicism is not part of the Assembly of God ( and she is Wassila Bible which, I think, is not officially A of G) or in their 14 points. In fact until 1967, they were a peace church and a strong anti-war stance was central to their beliefs ( in the same way that it is among Jehovah's Witnesses, Mennonites and other groups) Which, of course, is not to say they were progressive. They seem to have been pretty apolitical at first. To examine ways in which her beliefs inform or impact upon her stated public positions is an entirely different matter, in the same way that a Catholic official who has made his religious positions clear can be asked to speak about abortion. Anyone remember that delightful Dominionist James Watt and his impact on the environment as Secretary of the Interior (since Our Lord has given us dominon over the world, let's strip mine it).
