Okay a few points just for some clarification:

First: There is no such thing as "separation of church and state" in the Constitution. The First Amendment says:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof

This means that the power and funding of the government cannot be used to establish a state religion, or prevent people from exercising their own.

Somehow this has been reinterpreted over time to indicate that nothing having anything to do with religion should ever come within a country mile of anything having to do with government. Having a religious person as President is not a Constitutional issue, and while nobody here has said as much straight out, it's being implied.

Second: a person considers they have been "called by God" when they believe that God has set a task before them that they must try to accomplish to the best of their abilities. Typically, a task of some help to others. It implies no special authority, no supernatural powers, and no special insights into reality or the "mind of God." Many humble and quiet people serve in many areas of our world believing this, and it is not threatening.

Third: From the Christians I hang out with, there is not generally a belief that everything that happens is "the will of God." It implies both a level of predestination, and even a streak of nastiness, that most people do not believe is part of their religion. The worst thing you can tell someone that something really awful has happened to is that "it was the will of God."

The theological reasoning is tedious, but can be boiled down to "God sees every sparrow fall. He doesn't catch them." And, I might add, He doesn't knock them out of the sky either.

Fourth: I stand corrected on my characterization of "liberals" as hostile to Christianity. I know many Christians who probably vote Democrat in every election, including, I suspect, my own pastor. Anyway, looking back at the post, the comment was superfluous and probably better left out.

However, that being said, the hostility of many of the more radical leftists in America toward Christianity and Judaism is fairly obvious, and shows up in a number of areas in our society. And that one I will stand by.
