It is extremely interesting for me to read the post. Thank author for it. I like such topics and everything connected to them. I would like to read a bit more on this site soon. BTW, pretty nice design you have here, but don’t you think it should be changed once in a few months?

Obama's time has come and Jindal wants to play the same broken GOP record of "Keep God in The White House." Fundamentalists have run The White House since Reagan, with the exception of Clinton, and it's time to let science back in.

Christian Dayana Martinez-Pena prefers an ad-hominid attack rather than understanding that Jindal, as a political wunderkind, had political aspirations early in life and needed to convert from Hinduism before he entered politics. He is not blessed but astute and his actions confirm none of Christ's words. I am neither blind, bigoted or stupid as the christian from N.M. suggests but have had the opportunity to observe Jindal's manipulation of Louisiana's fundamentalists first hand and am able to warn the country of Jindals in sheep's clothing as the GOP recruits him for national politics.

All this bashing of Jindal's faith by liberal anti-Christian bigots only confirms the words of Christ: "Blessed are you when men persecute you for My sake".
Trl of LA stupidly claims that Jindal became a Christian to get elected. Obviously Trl is so blinded by his bigotry that he can't read. Bobby Jindal converted to Catholicism while he was still in school, long before he even thought about running for governor.
Anyone who has come to the Christian Faith will understand Jindal's journey. There are millions of Catholics and Evangelicals who applaud Jindal's forthrightness about his faith. God bless Bobby Jindal.

For a Rhodes scholar to diligently investigate the bible, declare it "unaltered throughout the centuries" and historically accurate is a tip off that Jindal's conversion is politically motivated. During his recent campaign, he made sure to address conservative evangelical congregations over and over again while wearing the cloak of a born again christian. Jindal is smart and he knows the road to the governor's mansion in Louisiana is paved with religion as evidenced by his recent signing of a law which allows creationism a shot at being taught as science in Louisiana clasrooms. He is a political animal who chose conversion over honoring his family's wishes.

Asinus Gravis' comments are perfectly on target. The gospel of Ayn Rand indeed. How Jindal could believe his comments in any way echo the love and compassion of Christ is only another example of the political abuse of religion, whereby the grotesque reflection in a fun-house mirror is substituted for seeing through a glass darkly.

Please quote more of Jindal's religious writings, those for instance where he asserted that Protestants were not going to heaven, and where he described the friend whose involuntary exorcism he participated in.

After listening to Gov. Jindal last evening, I reached several tentative conclusions.
First, either he did not listen to Obama's speech before the Congress, or he chose to completely ignore it.
Second, he decided to play the role of the Republican Harold Hill. We head about the "trouble in River City"--i.e., the one on the Potomac.
Third, what Harold Hill Jindal was selling were recently resurrected or recycled treasures from the tomb of Barry Goldwater.
There was nothing about the Gospel of Jesus in his message, or advocacy of the Kingdom of God. Instead it was a hard hearted version of the gospel of Ayn Rand.

I guess picking up a faith and a country accent will get you elected when you're brown.

I'm glad Mr. Jindal took up a serious study of God's Word. Others who approach the Word with openness and curiosity, in search of truth will find it. And Jesus says, "and you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free."
The Bible is powerful, I had a similar experience after reading and studying the Bible...no denominations, no theology, no spotlight pastors or televangelists. The Bible is true and can change your life.
Unfortunately, so many people don't read it anymore. They say it's not relevant or they don't have time. That's why I love my Bible listening time. I downloaded a free audio bible from www.FaithComesByHearing.com and I listen on my daily commute everyday. It's powerful and this way helps me stay in the Word everyday.
