According to an October 28th Newsweek article entitled Jesus and Witches, Pentecostalism, the branch of Protestantism embraced by Kenyon Pastor Thomas Muthee and in which Sarah Palin was raised, is the fastest growing religious movement in the world. Muthee urged Palin's congregation to pray for Palin's success "even in the political arena ... to] bring finances her way ... and give her the personnel." And he offered this cryptic blessing: "In the name of Jesus. Every form of witchcraft is what you rebuke."

Will Sarah Palin be able to make state decisions that are not influenced by her Pentecostalist church beliefs?
