I've spent the last 50 years or so steeping myself in the world's religions, and I've done my homework.

I do believe that belief is the most powerful thing we have in this world. So, if we believe in something enough. And we have faith, we can make it a reality. That is basically the basis of my entire career and my entire life. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
I have come to the conclusion that while a candidate's faith matters, what's most important is how he or she applies that faith. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
The question Americans should ask is not whether a candidate is affiliated with a particular faith but rather whether that candidate's faith makes it more likely he or she will support policies that align with their values. Jul 09, 2024 - Fabian Biese>
