Bernie Sanders Punts On Belief In God

Posted by | October 22, 2015 23:00 | Filed under: Politics


While the U.S. Constitution pretty clearly states that there shall be “no religious test” for president, it’s no secret that presidential candidates are subject to all kinds of scrutiny, including about their relationship with God. Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders is no exception. Sanders has said in past interviews that while he’s Jewish, he’s “not particularly…

    Tess-ti-fyyyy Bernie!

    You don’t need God to have virtues, morals, compassion, and a positive transformational vision of what this nation should be.

      Certainly not necessary. Some of our best presidents were not christians.

        Luke 21:1-4New King James Version (NKJV)

        The Widow’s Two Mites

        21 And He looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury, 2 and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites. 3 So He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; 4 for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God,[a] but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.”

          I think you missed the point. This is about comparing one rich person with another, one supposed “Christian” (in this case it refers only to his professed religion and not to his actions) and one not Christian, not comparing a rich person with a poor person.

      Morality and religion are not the same thing. Some times they are mutually exclusive.

    May sound dumb but i was brought up in a very religious household, and i think that if there is a higher source, he or she is a scientist watching us like an ant farm, imo!

    • Gindy51 October 23rd, 2015 at 06:51

      More like a “kid with an ant farm” quote from the movie Constantine…

    I hope the US has gotten past the times when religion played any part in the Presidential election. He’s not running for pope I care how he will fix the bad trade deals that are draining our economy. I look forward to the day when the USA elects it’s first openly atheist President.

      I look forward to the day when no one asks any candidate about his religion, and it’s not included in his bio, and those stupid prayer breakfasts are eliminated, and the House and Senate don’t have a chaplain, and the president doesn’t feel compelled to add “And God bless America” at the end of every speech.

      The real ground breaker was the election of JFK

      • Larry Schmitt October 23rd, 2015 at 07:21

        He actually had to make a proclamation on national TV that he would rule by the Constitution, not by the Vatican. It had never been an issue before. But it was an issue when Al Smith, also a Catholic, ran for president. From Wiki: “Smith’s Catholic beliefs played a key role in his loss of the election of 1928. Many feared that he would answer to the pope and not the Constitution. “

    So??? She doesn’t care

  5. allison1050 October 23rd, 2015 at 05:58

    As I stated elsewhere yesterday, frankly I and most people don’t give 2 sh*ts about his personal religious beliefs and wonder Why the media pretends to when it’s no concern to most of the voting public who have other more important pressing concerns.

  6. Gindy51 October 23rd, 2015 at 06:49

    I’m glad he punted, it is a stupid question to ask anyone unless you are in a religious setting and even then it is a very intrusive line of inquiry.

    “In God we trust”? What the hell does that really mean? To me they are empty words because America has a terrible history of not living by the supposed rules of God. As a country we have killed thousands of Native Americans to occupy, captured blacks in Africa to serve as slaves, continue policies that spurn racist and bigoted attitudes, used nuclear weapons to kill nearly 200,000 innocent people in WWII. Our involvement in endless wars like Korea, Vietnam, Iraq and Afghnistan plus dozens of other conflicts that seem to grow daily.

    Then there is internal strife caused by massive military spending while seemingly ignoring the impoverish, treating corporations as people, greed, totally out of control gun violence, policing that targets minorities, crumbling infrastructure, suppressed wages destroying the middle class, a degraded education system. Get the picture?? Think God approves (if you believe)?? The laws of all that is decent and humane have vanished or at best are on life support. We are headed for oblivion folks unless there are dramatic changes but I see no signs other than a continued fall into the pits of hell…

    • max Payne October 23rd, 2015 at 12:08

      The pledge of allegiance was written in 1892 by a Socialist minister, Francis Bellamy. The words In God We Trust were added by Congress in 1954 to set us apart from the “Godless” socialists and communists. I would disagree with your opinion on WW2 The US didn’t seek to build an empire or sack burn and loot we liberated millions of oppressed peoples. As a condition for helping England FDR told Churchill they would have to dismantle their empire he would not help them keep others in bondage. As for the treatment of Native Americans and blacks yes it was deplorable by our standards but IMHO you can’t judge historic figures by modern standards. And remember the Bible endorses making slaves of “Godless” heathens. We are not falling into the pits of hell we are the greatest nation that ever existed.

    • robert October 23rd, 2015 at 19:13

      since we are a nation of multi religions GOD pretty much covers it Unless you want to get specific ?

    Yes, Disqus poster “American Shaftoe” is a racist, homophobic, noxious little stalker. This particularly spiteful troll is, if I read his credit report correctly (big tip of the hat to my pals in Anonymous), in the music industry. Unless apologies are forthcoming, I would say it is likely he won’t be working in that sector for much longer.

    • mea_mark October 26th, 2015 at 12:33

      I was trying to track him down and one of the possibilities was a guy that made videos for bands to help promote them. I think ‘Accept’ was one of the bands he was bragging about helping. Does this sound like same guy?
