A Dangerous Thing

Posted by Marshall on September 07, 2008 | Link It

Viewing this video clip, which I found out about via the New York Times article titled, In Palin’s Life and Politics, Goal to Follow God’s Will is disturbing.

There is no separation of Church and State for Sarah PalinGeorge W. Bush is like that too, ramming his own personal beliefs on the rest of the world, weather they wanted it, or not.

It’s one thing to have faith, belief in God, even to spread the word (if that’s what you think your mission in life is) which informs, guides and inspires; it’s another to be so consumed with a belief that your right, that people would burn in hell if they didn’t agree with you.

Judge for yourself - I’m sure a lot of evangelicals will like it - but are we so fragmented that this is what we’re going to end up with?

I’m a little confused…. when did you decide people read your blog for your insightful po;itical views!

The reason I inteoduced this video and my political insights is, as a web analyst, it is vital to be objective about the data, and even, to a large extent, what you want.

In goverence, it is important to seporate church and state much as an analyst needs to be objective about the data.

Why so we forget that in the political realm? Why is it ok to mix it all up and have a sitting governed asking God for what I can take as personal favors.

Isn’t that an example of non seporation of church and state?

Just an idea to think about.

these folks aint really saying nothing about the issues, Obama is a little tiny bit, but it seems like Palin and McCain just mantra stealing when they need to talk about N. Korea rebuilding nukes and Palin act like she never heard of NK or as if North Korea has fallen off the map

I agree with Bill, stick with web metrics! Seperation of church and state was brought on by the early evangelicals because they didn’t want goverment sanctioned religion. This in no more dangerous than our founding fathers seeking out God’s will for this new country. The only difference is now we have people saying Christians aren’t tolerant of others while they themselves can’t talerate Christians. If you seek truth, you’ll find it.

Not sure if I want a religious hockey mom to jump in as president as soon as McCain says Goodbye. Honestly…she might be a great speaker, but this Youtube video just shows that she should keep the politics separated from church. Compared to Europe, that was always a competitive advantage.

You seem to promote separation of church and state but then at the same time, you commit a similar gaff by not separating web-analytics and your personal political opinions!

Also, if you are attempting to push your political opinions, using proper grammar and spelling may be useful… i.e. “weather”
