OUT LOUD

NewsReligious Herald  |  November 5, 2008

“My goal is not to make laws Christian but to make government as small as possible so you can be as biblically Christian as you so choose.”

Meghan Allen

The Liberty University student, who hopes to become a lawyer, was quoted by the Washington Post. (RNS)

“Whether invocations of ‘Lord of Lords' or ‘the God of Abraham, Isaac and Muhammad' are ‘sectarian' is best left to theologians, not courts of law.”

Judge Bill Pryor

The member of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals was writing for the majority in a 2-1 decision Oct. 28 permitting sectarian prayers at Cobb County, Ga., government meetings. (RNS)

“As a Catholic, I can say to be pro-cure is to be pro-life.”

Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm

The Democrat was speaking of her support for Proposal 2, a state ballot initiative that would loosen restrictions on embryonic stem cell research. She was quoted by the Grand Rapids Press. (RNS)
