My read is that she is deeply moved by the return of the free press.

Biden was another Fidel Castro because he said he was Catholic, and Castro had also said he was Catholic, Rachel expressed that she she was extremely offended, mentioning that she came from a very strongly Catholic family.

She seems like a very private person, but it wouldn't surprise me if she's more religious than we realize.

However, I'll be very disturbed if he starts saying his staff are doing the Lord's work. I don't think I'd be alone, either.

And i am 100% positive that atheism is true and the 10,000's of religions are farcical.

Maybe Rachel just felt using the expression...

...the regime change that everything seems like a miracle. The republic and democracy might actually be salvaged. Some of us are still a little emotional about it.

I know, that was a bit of a surprise coming from Rachel. But a bunch of posters are kind of acting like she suddenly developed potty-mouth.

a bit more than usual to get through it . Remember that she was not able to be with her during that time and didn't know if Susan would even survive .

I just saw it and it didn't seem like a big deal. It was kind of how people quickly say things like "god bless you" or "thank god" .

gotta say, that struck me as quite weird. But that's just me... cuz I ain't got no religiosity..

but frankly, I don't recall Rachel ever saying anything like that or making religious references.
