The always erudite Richard Reeves writes a nice piece that reacts to the discussion of religion that took place during the most recent debate in Tempe. Here's an excerpt:
"...If memory serves, I had heard the phrase [born again] only once before. I was sitting on an airplane, and the guy next to me said, "Are you a Christian?"
"Yes," I said. But I don't talk about it with strangers.
"Are you born again? Have you found Jesus in a personal way?"
I had no idea what he was talking about. I thought about saying I didn't know Jesus was lost. Forgive me. But I decided just to change seats."
