Q: what religion is Obama, Clinton, and McCain?? thank you very much :)

Clinton is as close to a socialist as you can get. Her view of government solving all the problems is evident. Obama is iffy. Both Clinton and Obama support a party platform that is contrary to the values they claim to believe in. Abortion and the homosexuality issue conflict with their religion. I'm surprised that Obama would support a party platform that is eliminating his race. If you look at which race receives the most abortions his race is being eradicated one baby at a time. I would think he was smarter than that! McCain supports the party who's moral values are in line with his religion but I don't see any real evidence in his life that would support a serious commitment to what he says he believes.

Q: so my dad is jewish. my mom is baptist. but me and my brothers were brought up jewish. i honestly dont believe the jewish religion and i told my boyfriend this and now he wants me to go to his catholic church with him. i dont know what to expect. i hear you have to go to the priest and get bread and wine and stick your tongue out. how far do i stick my tongue out? what do i wear? questions like that is what i need information on. if someone could help me out it would be greatly appricated. thank you

It's not about a religion, it's a relationship. There was this beginning, Adam sinned, THE LORD banished man from the garden. Time went on and the Jewish people fell so utterly far from GOD that HE sent HIS son Jesus to reconcile us back to himself. Ultimately man refused to completely comply to GOD'S plan for their lives they were compelled to come up with their own rules for holy living thus the many religions. Jesus is the Messiah believe it or not. makes no difference. trusting in HIM alone for salvation is important. I believe there are true believers in all religions who preach Jesus as the only way to heaven. If you can't actually feel the presence of THE LORD when you worship you are either in the wrong building or spiritually dead. Jesus said "I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life, no man comes to the FATHER except by me!

Sorry! I've never been to a Catholic church. They have a lot of tradition dating way back. You can expect to see rituals performed to symbolize feeling bad about sin in your life and repenting. You cannot take communion (bread and wine) unless you have gone through their program. What I referred to earlier was tradition is simply that. You should wear something very conservative and hair should be well groomed. It is also important for members to go to confession weekly. You go tell the priest your dirty laundry, say some hail Mary's, and do your best to do better, (which is impossible considering yours and my sin nature) Then load up and go have a few beers and go on with life.
