Democratic Presidential Candidates Don’t know their Bible

In tonights democratic debate, the question was asked about what Bible verse was the candidates’ favorite. The sad thing is, not a single one could name an exact verse. At one point, Representative Kucinich quoted a prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi as his “favorite Bible verse.” Even Hillary and Obama, who are running on a more faith based platform, couldn’t name an exact Bible verse. Hillary got the closest by stating the Golden Rule (Do unto others as you would have them do to you) but that isn’t even an exact verse; that is a summary of Luke 6:27-36. Overall, it is sad to see that these “faith based” candidates don’t even have a favorite Bible verse.

 

Hopefully they will ask this same question tomorrow in the Republicans’ Debate. However, I hope that their answers won’t be as disappointing.
