You know if this was Bush speaking at a predominantly white Baptist church in South Carolina, they'd be all over it. Why isn't Americans United for Separation of Church and State trying to have Shiloh Baptist church's tax exempt status removed?
I find Kerry's use of the Bible to be very disingenuous. He uses religion when it's convenient, but ignores the Catholic Church's teaching on abortion.
"Matthew 25 reminds us how there is a standard by which we have to live," said the Massachusetts senator, attending services at the predominantly black church to help rev up a critical portion of the Democratic base. "Coming to church on Sundays and talking about faith and professing faith isn´t the whole deal. That doesn´t do it."
To applause from about 500 in attendance at the Shiloh Baptist Church, Kerry went on to say that it is "written in James, ?What does it mean, my brother, to say you have faith if there are no deeds? Faith without works is dead.´ "
