Talk:Bernie Sanders

A real American hero - God bless you, Bernie. --Huey gunna getcha 23:04, 16 March 2007 (EDT)

Ok, I don't really know how this is supposed to go... Bernie grew up in a Jewish household, but he claims to be "not religious". His faith is listed as "Judaism", but that entails all sorts of religious aspects. Should his ethnicity instead be listed as "Jewish", but religion listed as "None", since he's effectively secular? http://www.worldreligionnews.com/religion-news/judaism/jewish-american-bernie-sanders-is-socialist-but-not-religious Humanperson (talk) 14:23, 14 August 2015 (EDT)

Do you have a quote from Sanders about whether he is an atheist? "Not religious" does not necessarily mean "atheist". The phrase "not religious" may refer more to lack of regular attendance at a religious service rather than basic belief.--Andy Schlafly (talk) 15:30, 14 August 2015 (EDT)

To be honest I feel that Bernie gets a little bit of unnecessary heat (no pun intended) from people here, at least when compared to Hillary Clinton. I personally feel that he has the nations best interests at heart, even if his talking points are freakishly leftist most of the time. I'd choose him or Trump just to spite the establishment puppet Hillary Clinton.

I also frown upon anyone who believes that you are a God-hating atheist because you don't regularly attend religious services or perform certain rituals a certain number of times. I may be forgetting a part (or parts) of the Bible that contain verses emphasizing the importance on that, but too many Cultural Catholics I'm familiar with believe they're better Christians than I am for no reason other than the fact they were altar servers, do more prayers on a daily basis, and attend Church daily instead of weekly while ignoring the volunteer work I did with the same church setting up fundraiser events. I tend to find it hilarious or annoying when such people launch accusations like these at me, yet show up to church late, and leave 20 minutes early. --KommissarReb
