If you fear making anyone mad, then you ultimately probe for the lowest common denominator of human achievement. – Jimmy Carter
We must make it clear that a platform of I hate gay men and women is not a way to become president of the United States. – Jimmy Carter
We cant equate democracy with Christianity because the largest democracy on earth is India, which is primarily Hindu. The third largest democracy is Indonesia, which is Islamic. Democracy and freedom are not dependent on Christian beliefs. – Jimmy Carter
I think there ought to be a strict separation or wall built between our religious faith and our practice of political authority in office. I dont think the President of the United States should extoll Christianity if he happens to be a Christian at the expense of Judaism, Islam or other faiths. – Jimmy Carter
