This is on a par with Shrub, darling of the fundamentalists, who doesn't attend church.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Yeah, the witch-hunter video was from the church she grew up in, but apparently she's not currently a member there; and anyway he's not the regular pastor there -- he's a traveling speaker/evangelist type.
Neither of those things makes the whole scene any less creepy, but I always have this annoying need to get factcheck-y.
(Actually, I have a whole bunch of other thoughts about Palin's religiosity, but they're not in a making-sense place, and anyway are probably fairly boring.)

HOW can fundies support someone who doesn't even have a church home? How is is possible to manipulate such a literalist community while not walking the talk?

I strongly suspect that any physical records that deem him fit to be Commander in Chief have been doctored.
No need; there are thousands of pages of them and they allowed reporters access for something like three hours with no note-taking allowed.

He goes to church now, right? We were discussing this here in the last month and I think he does attend somewhere regularly.

No.no. I really appreciate the correctness. If I'm going to rant, I want to have at least a glancing relationship with the truth.

I get that, but if she doesn't have a religious home she can point to and say 'this is where my beliefs come from', I just don't see how church-bound folk could trust her. Then again, this goes back to my original fear, which is that it doesn't matter if you have a moral leg to stand on as long as you look like Mickey Mouse or have white, white teeth.

I thought an interesting part of the debate was when they agreed on the issue of gay-marriage/civil unions. It may have been my imagination, but I got a vibe of "that can't be right" from Palin.

There is also a mindset of a certain type of religion-spouting Christian that emphasizes the "personal relationship with God". They appear to look down on the idea that a community of believers lead by persons who have studied the texts in a formal way is necessary or even beneficial. It is another side of the anti-intellectual coin. They do not need others telling them what their God means or thinks is right, they know.
