CNN has a story on their web site: Rick Perry’s mission from God.
“…Perry’s jump from Tarrytown to Lake Hills mirrors some of the big recent changes in American Christianity: From cities to suburbs, from a formal mainline worship style that relies on liturgy to a more casual evangelical approach that’s all about connecting to Jesus.
The Republican presidential candidate’s 2007 church switch also may mirror something much more personal: The culmination of Perry’s journey from a mainline Protestant upbringing to an evangelical-flavored faith built on close relationships with Baptist preachers and giving public testimony about God…”
The post is by Dan Gilgoff (CNN Religion Editor) and I think you can skip reading the post. It looks like he had a deadline and needed to post something. I guess he could not come up with anything.
I do not know anything about Rick Perry. I know I do not like him or his politics. But I wonder if his faith is for real. I wonder if he even believes in God. If you are running for President of the United States you got to lie and say you believe in God.
There is a better article on the CNN site and it is by Dave Schechter. It is “Patriotism and the ‘God gap’”
It uses polling data and other information about their views of the United States and other nations.
