Candidates on Faith
The highest profile candidates in the 2008 Presidential race all profess to be Christians. And while some are more expressive than others, they've all weighed in on the role faith takes in public life. But who says what? See if you can match the candidates to their quotations.
1
"Let me say this loud and clear: I don't think that we can deny that there is a moral and spiritual component to prevention. The relationship between men and women, between sexuality and spirituality, has broken down, and needs to be repaired."

2
"Yeah, I do [consider myself an evangelical]. ... I like the statement in the Bible that when you’re really in deep prayer you go to your closet. You don’t do it out on the streets and brag about it and say, 'Look how holy I am.'"

3
"I just have to say in all candor that since this nation was founded primarily on Christian principles, personally, I prefer someone who has a grounding in my faith."

4
"We're going to keep on praising together. I am confident that we can create a Kingdom right here on Earth."

5
"One of my favorite passages in Scripture is that famous line in James that faith without works is dead. But I have concluded that works without faith is just too hard."

6
"I do believe in evolution. I don't think that is incompatible with Christian faith. Just as I don't think science generally is incompatible with Christian faith. In fact, the more I learn about the world, the more I know about science, the more I'm amazed about the mystery of this planet and this universe. And it strengthens my faith as opposed to weakens it."

7
"Grace is that relationship with God. But it's also the relationships with our fellow human beings in which we know grace is present."

8
"When some people interpret their desire for separation of church and state as a failure to acknowledge the importance and influence of our Creator, I think that they have a different view of history than I do."
