I agree that the presentation was unbalanced in favor of the Christian fundamentalist point of view, and that's okay because both candidates knew ahead of time exactly what tone the questioning would take. Sen. Obama displayed the courage of Daniel in mingling with the Lions and did quite well while Sen. McCain was more comfortable in that setting as one of the Lions.
How about further forums, say one conducted by Rev. T.D. Jakes of Dallas who also has a megachurch. Then move on to another forum conducted by Imam Sayed Hassan Al Quazwini of Dearborn and another by Rabbi Rolando Matalon of Congregatoin B'Nai Jeshurun in New York? By the end of that series, we would have a good view of where these candidates stand on religious-based issues of the three major faiths.

How about a forum conducted by "The Great" Reverend Wright ? That would be interesting!

Right on target, Dave. Somewhere in history I thought we had decided against a State Religion. It seems that the religious right's philosophy is not just the only path to heaven, but also to the Presidentcy. I guess we Presbyterians are just doomed to damnation! ger
