Sanders: Scripture calls for renewed focus on justice in US

13. No such luck George

We rarely see things the same way. And this is no exception.

My point was.......so what? (I support his right to speak to any group or not to, its a free country) Its also his job as a politician.

That many adhere to a religious outlook, and see the world though that lens. As the automobile, the world is structured to pander to them. It makes sense to use the same language,, even quoting the scriptures, to show you are not bigoted against them just because they believe something you do not.

Does one have to be a die hard evangelical Christian to dare to quote passages from the Bible? Can one not find inspiration in historical literature, even though one may not share all the authors philosophies? And is not one allowed to speak them out loud?

I don't get what the fuss is all about. Besides, its not like Sanders has not spoken with other audiences he had disagreements with, like a Fox News town hall. Which Buttigieg did as well. Its about reaching the largest audience.

My example above of even Obama botching an attempt at quoting scripture. "Obama quotes nonexistent Bible verse during speech about immigration" Obviously he was not a hard line die in the wool true believer either based on that blunder showing his lack of Biblical knowledge. But the last thing I'd do is go on a message board and criticize Obama for daring to use the Bible to make a point, considering many Americans see the world through that lens. I'm also a non-religious person. But I totally understand why any American politician would not hesitate to accept invitations to religious places and even honor them with using their own scriptures to make a point.
