Hey guys! We're not reading from the same page. Right?

I really don’t like to criticize people of faith. But I have questions about the faith of Rick Santorum, Mit Romney, and Newt Gingrich. I am wondering if they are reading the same Bible I read. It almost sounds like not. Perhaps instead, they are reading from a political organization handbook.

The Bible I read from speaks of humility and self-sacrifice. Putting others first. Giving them the shirt off our backs. Although, I personally haven’t had to do that yet but, if necessary I shall.

None the less, taking care of the poor, the sick, the homeless, the imprisoned, etc. Is job number one. I just don’t see this working in their personal or political lives. And again, forgive me for this snap judgment but what I see and hear doesn’t seem to correlate. Especially not matching with their rehearsed public persona. It seems their public relations consultants forgot to advise them on what they really should be doing. What to do out in the public to demonstrate their religious benevolence and sincerity. For example, speaking respectfully of others. No matter if they agree or not. However, what I do hear from Mit, Rick, and Newt is mostly slander and misrepresentation. Maybe a little lie or two. Speaking through grimaces narrowed eyes, and furrowed brows.

Am I reading this wrong or are we all reading from separate holy books. Someone explain this to me. I’m confused. Are all these guys just storefront religionist or what? I get the impression they are well versed in “Do as I say and not as I do.” Is that the case? Help! I need clarification. Come to think of it, maybe Mit, Newt, and Rick need clarification as well. Right?
