ImWithStupid Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Romney? Are you serious, that guy would have lead with a bible in his hand. . . Wow. I didn't realize that it was 1960 again and the fears that a persons faith will make them a bad candidate for president like JFK being Catholic. Quote

I didn't realize that it was 1960 again and the fears that a persons faith will make them a bad candidate for president like JFK being Catholic. Actually, Romney lost a lot of respect from me when he went on tv and said his faith wouldn't dictate his presidency. We all know he is a morman, and agree with that faith or not, I feel a presidents faith of choice (whatever faith that president holds) should be a major factor in the way they make decisions- just as it is in my own life. Having a leader that can turn on and turn off his faith like it's a light switch doesn't appeal to me in the least. Quote I'm trusted by more women.

That was the politician in him saying that. Quote "You can't stop insane people from doing insane things by passing insane laws. That's just insane!" Penn & Teller NEVER FORGOTTEN

Faith has nothing to do with it, but the dogma of religion certainly plays a role. The seperation of church and state, but no one cares. Religion is a selling point to most voters.

ImWithStupid Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 The seperation of church and state, but no one cares. Religion is a selling point to most voters. Separation of Church and state, which by the way is nowhere in the Constitution, has been blown out of preportion. The Founding Fathers were breaking from England which had a government that was controlled by the Church of England, that Henry VIII created so he could get divorced and bone more women (just a little side note). The First Amendment says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof..." They had no problem with people being religious they just didn't want the government to say what religion we observe. We have solved, by fair experiment, the great and interesting question whether freedom of religion is compatible with order in government and obedience to the laws. And we have experienced the quiet as well as the comfort which results from leaving every one to profess freely and openly those principles of religion which are the inductions of his own reason and the serious convictions of his own inquiries. ~ Thomas Jefferson In an 1808 letter to Virginia Baptists To further that, both Jefferson and James Madison, the two biggest influences in the Constitution attended religious services at the Capitol building.

And ever so eloquently put in today's terms further down your post. To further that, both Jefferson and James Madison, the two biggest influences in the Constitution attended religious services at the Capitol building. Well... good for them.
