Suggested Reading

Today, I am suggesting you read you read USA Today's Religion Op-ed page. (two things I usually don't read)

It's a short essay by Barack Obama (D-Illinois) entitled "Politicians need not abandon religion." It is an excellent example of how religion can (and, arguably should) influence politics, but can be done without going to the extreme right or alienating the "average Joe."

My dad forwarded me something similar from Senator Obama in an email about a week ago. He seems so reasonable and smart, for a Senator. ;)

"...reasonable and smart, for a Senator."

I thought that was theoretically impossible.
