HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C. (AP) - Republican presidential candidate John McCain, who has long identified himself as an Episcopalian, said this weekend that he is a Baptist and has been for years.
Campaigning in this conservative, predominantly Baptist state, McCain called himself a Baptist when speaking to reporters Sunday and noted that he and his family have been members of the North Phoenix Baptist Church in his home state of Arizona for more than 15 years.
"It's well known because I'm an active member of the church," the Arizona senator said.
While McCain has long talked about his family's and his own attendance at the Arizona church, he appears to have consistently referred to himself as Episcopalian in media reports.
In a June interview with McClatchy Newspapers, the senator said his wife and two of their children have been baptized in the Arizona Baptist church, but he had not. "I didn't find it necessary to do so for my spiritual needs," he said.
He told McClatchy he found the Baptist church more fulfilling than the Episcopalian church, but still referred to himself as an Episcopalian. |
How convenient. Episcopalian one day. Baptist the next.
Will Christians be taken in by this religious bed hopping? Or will they see it for what it truly is? More pandering by the GOP to their religious naivet�.
GOP Presidential contenders have never been any more religious than their Democratic opponents. They just pull the charade off better. When will the religious crowd stops listening to a few, self appointed religious leaders, and consider all of the issues? Until that time, they are mindless drones who will be taken in and used by the GOP with their lies and false pretenses. |
