Fred: I'm Not A Regular Churchgoer And I Don't Plan About Talking About My Faith Much

...except to say that he's "right with God."

The actor and former senator, who was baptized in the Church of Christ, said he gained his values from "sitting around the kitchen table" and said he did not plan to speak about his religious beliefs on the stump. "I know that I'm right with God and the people I love," he said, according to Bloomberg News Service. It's "just the way I am not to talk about some of these things."

...

But the candidate put such speculation to rest yesterday. And he did not seem particularly concerned that his admission would hurt him with voters. "Me getting up and talking about what a wonderful person I am and that sort of thing, I'm not comfortable with that, and I don't think it does me any good," he said. "People will make up their own mind about that, and that's the way I like it."

Well. Given Huckabee's statement yesterday that the power of Christ compels his nomination, I guess it's pretty obvious Fred has fallen in the polls because Jesus is still on the fence over him. Maybe Jesus wants to see the full details of Thompson's Social Security investment plan before He makes His decision.

Thanks to CJ.

Update: I just got an email from the Archangel Gabriel. He says Jesus is concerned Thompson "lacks fire."

Awww, come on. I expected a less obvious analysis from the Lamb of God.

And Hey... Don't get annoyed with me for treating the idea that Christ Himself is Huckabee's campaign manager irreverently. Frankly I think it's pretty irreverent -- and a bit blasphemously messianic -- to suggest such a thing in the first place.
