The Democrats' favorite Bible verse

Religion News (RSS): The Democrats' favorite Bible verse: "When Sen. Barack Obama turns to talking about faith on the campaign trail, he sometimes invokes the New Testament book of James and its admonition that 'faith without works is dead.'

As she competed for the Democratic nomination, Sen. Hillary Clinton frequently did the same -- often more regularly than Obama -- though what she called her 'personal theology' sometimes took a different tack, saying that 'works without faith is too hard.'

Sen. John Kerry also called upon James in the 2004 election, saying that 'There's a great passage in the Bible that says, `What does it mean, my brother, to say you have faith if there are no deeds?''"
