I'm opposed to the death penalty not because I think it's unconstitutional per se-although I think it's been applied in ways that are unconstitutional-but it really is a moral view, and that is that the taking of life is not the way to handle even the most significant of crimes...Who amongst anyone is not above redemption? I think we have to be careful in executing final judgment. The one thing my faith teaches me-I don't get to play God. I think you are short-cutting the whole process of redemption...I don't want to be the person that stops that process from taking place.

Our public schools began as ministries of the church; now it is time to return them to the Lord.

This great American institution [Boy Scouts of America] has come under attack from homosexual activists-who may well set their sights on your church next.

Even though our society is increasingly pluralistic, we must ensure an equal playing field rather than a religiously cleansed arena where people of faith are no longer welcome.

The term religious cleansing is an accurate and effective way of expressing the current hostility and bigotry toward all civic expressions of religion... these religious cleansers use political and legal means of containment. They are America's new anti-faith bigots.

The Pledge clearly acknowledges the fact that our freedoms in this country come from God, not government.

The way I understand it is the communists are in, the atheists are in, the agnostics are in, but religion is out.
