I was listening to the local news radio station this morning when a reporter was asked about President Bush's scheduled meeting today with the Pope. The question was asked, "What will the President and the Pope be discussing in their one-on-one meeting today?"
The reporter seemed to really struggle with how to answer. He stuttered and stammered, and finally replied, "They'll probably be discussing ... um ... God." (Brilliant insight there, huh? Any more bright remarks, Einstein?) Then he said, "The president, as you may know, is ... um ... a ... a person of ... um ... some faith."
Would it be so torturous for the media to say simply of our president, "He is a Christian"?

You point to something true and interesting. And people that take the Lord's name in vain in a swear-y way without a second thought often get all tongue tied about using the name Jesus, or God to refer to Jesus, or God!
