John McCain - Beliefs

(continued
from
John McCain Christian)
What are some of John McCain's other religious beliefs?
"We had some incredible experiences [in the POW cell]. I'll never forget that first Christmas when I...
read from the Nativity story from the different gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke and
John. And I looked in that room around and there were guys who had already been
there for seven years and tears were streaming down their face..."
John McCain's story is poignant but the nativity story is only in
Matthew and Luke
(Mark and
John
commence when Jesus is already an adult), so John McCain could not have read the
nativity story in
"Mark ... and John" in Vietnam.
More relevantly, John McCain is unlikely to have made this statement if he is
reading his Bible (see
New Testament written when?).
What are John McCain's beliefs about Islam?
John McCain has expressed his beliefs about
Islam:
"I admire the Islam.
There's a lot of good principles in it. I think one of the great tragedies of
the 21st century is that these forces of evil have perverted what's basically an
honorable religion."
Should a Christian
"admire"
a system of beliefs that denies the cross and the
proof of Jesus' resurrection, and call such a system of
beliefs,
"honorable"? And speaking of
"perverted," shouldn't the Islam vs. Christianity difference be clearly pointed
out (see
Christian God)?
Other questions about John McCain
's beliefs remain. Why does John McCain call
himself
"superstitious"? Why does John McCain
talk about his beliefs and relationship with a
"higher
being",
"creator" or
"greater being" but not
identify Him as "Jesus" or "Christ"?
