A Religious Campaign Ad Done Right

by Arno on September 20, 2008

I don’t think Religion has an place in politics and what I mean by that is that leaders shouldn’t be influenced by it, nor should they look at any of our foreign policy issues as based on what it says in that book. My grandfather was a methodist minister his entire life, and he was very committed to that mission. In my entire life, I can’t remember him approaching me and trying to lay the religion on me. Instead, he proved to me what Religion really is, and should be: a rule book on how to be compassionate. When he was in his 70’s, he was still delivering meals to the needy, as part of the Church program he ran. This to me, is religion and that’s why I think this political ad is true and will be effective.
