Here's a glimpse into Liz that I hadn't seen before from 2012.

I read Matthew 25:40 the same way she does. Even though I am not a believer in the traditional religions the thought behind the scripture is beautiful . That IS why we need her as President.

I grew up in a Methodist church and I was a Sunday school teacher when we lived back in Texas. When I was making the decision whether to get into this Senate race, one of the important touch points for me was to read my bible. And it’s Matthew 25:40, you know the passage? For me, that passage is the heart of what I believe. Because what it says is “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of these the least of these my bretheren. ...” (I still use the King James version, it’s beautiful).

It says three things: it says there is God in...the hungry, the poor, the stranger, there is God in each of us. Because. Remember, it says “you did it unto me.” And that’s saying God was in, God is in, the poor, the thirsty, the stranger.

But then part two is he never asks the question of going to heaven and hell, what your intent was, the question was: Did you act? And those who gave meat to the hungry, those who gave water to the thirsty, those who welcomed the stranger in, were the ones that God welcomed to heaven. ... It stresses the importance of community, because it says, in fact, it’s about action and it’s about action together.

And that’s how I read Matthew 25:40. And it’s why I’m in this race.

2. Neither do I. No matter how some people want us to kick her under the bus.

3. I don't hold it against her, but it does bother me. n/t

4. Don't be bothered. There are Christians who believe in Christ for one reason alone

and that's because their interpretation of his words has
caused them to feel love kindness and compassion within
their own hearts. That's their reading and those are the
people like Jimmy Carter who live their beliefs. Whether
or not there is an actual god is not relevant. The human
heart contains infinite love and beauty. Haggling on the
surface about how to get there is a waste of energy.

Every human heart.

5. Awesome. I like that.
