"If you're with Jesus Christ, we know how it turns out in the final moment. I've read the last chapter in the book, and we do end up winning."
I respect and even envy those with strong faith, no matter who the deity. But this guy, IMO, will clearly let his beliefs determine policy

what should a person use to determine a policy position other than your belief system? what policys do you see him pushing based on the above quotes? the only quote that is a real issue is gay marriage and I don't think that is an issue that the president can do much about on his own.
he is not my cup of tea, frankly he talks about his faith too much for my taste, he's running for president not nations pastor.
but please tell me what president does not let his beliefs guide him. how can any religious person not have their views influenced by religion? is it any shock that this is where his beliefs come from?
i just think people worry too much about this threat to being free from religion. most presidents are somewhat religious people. its talked about a lot in the primary season in order to motivate the base, but in the general election and in actual governing it gets put aside.
