I too would like to know the “code of ethics” that a candidate has (Letters, April 14) but to use a candidate’s religion as the test can be very misleading.
For example, many of the candidates claiming to be Christian speak loudly against gay marriage, contraception and abortion, subjects about which Jesus said nothing and yet are oddly silent about war, capitol punishment, care for the sick and the evils of wealth, subjects about which Jesus spoke often.
I guess one needs to dig a little deeper than “knowing what religion” a candidate is.
