(RNS) — Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders dashed the hopes of some atheists when he declared he had "very strong religious and spiritual feelings" at a Democratic town hall.
"It's a guiding principle in my life, absolutely, it is," Sanders said Wednesday (Feb. 3) when a New Hampshire voter asked him about his faith. "Everybody practices religion in a different way. To me, I would not be here tonight, I would not be running for president of the United States, if I did not have very strong religious and spiritual feelings."
BOSTON (AP) — A winter storm packing heavy, wet snow gave New England its first real taste of winter Friday, knocking out power to more than 150,000 customers and threatening to cover some spots a foot deep.
Stoic New Englanders going about their business didn't have to like it, but after some parts of the region got more than nine feet of snow last winter, they could deal with it.
