Transcript of Interview With Senator Clinton

The following is a transcript of an interview last month Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. A few of the questions have been edited for brevity and clarity, and extraneous material omitted.

...

Q: But, do you believe in this personal relationship with God that some people talk about?

Senator Clinton: Absolutely.

Q: What does that look like for you, and how do you feed that personal relationship with God? Some people talk about prayer, talking to God. Some talk about reading the Bible and experiencing God that way. What does that look like for you?

Senator Clinton: It has looked like the connection that I felt like I made as a child but just kept growing and was always present in my life. I believe in the father, son, and Holy Spirit, and I have felt the presence of the Holy Spirit on many occasions in my years on this earth. I pray, I read the Bible, I read commentary on scriptures, I read other people’s faith journeys. That is, for me, at the real core of how I keep feeding my faith. And, I was lucky because, as I said at the faith and politics event, I was taught to pray and I inculcate it as a habit in my daily life.

...

Q: Can I ask you theologically, do you believe that the resurrection of Jesus actually happened, that it actually historically did happen?

Senator Clinton: Yes, I do.

...

Q: And your attitude toward the Bible about how literally people should take it...

Senator Clinton: I think the whole Bible is real.

A President can't believe in God? #######?

That goes well beyond just believing. It enters nuts territory, she sounds like GWB.

These excerpts don't show Hillary as a "religious nut" to me. She is just saying that she is a Christian.

When she said the whole Bible is "real", that doesn't necessarly mean she takes it all "literally". That is the difference between the "nuts" who take it all too simply and literally, and other types of Christians.

I don't know how sincere she is being, but she seems to know what she is talking about in the article concerning her faith. Anyways I don't want a religious nut again, but I would still vote for Hillary - I don't see her being like that.

Ehavemaria.....I'm getting a case of deja vu.This sounds similar to GWB's vote -getting tactic.

Exactly ! Did you notice that after winning the election he wasn't so holy after all ?

I think she's doing what she and every other career politician always does - playing up to a certain core segment of the voting base to ensure their support.

The "how literally they should take it" is a bit of a stinker, but still.
