Mitt Romney Stands up for Faith in God
February 21, 2012 at 11:45 pm
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney said Tuesday that President Barack Obama's administration has "fought against religion" and sought to substitute a "secular" agenda for one grounded in faith.

Wiccan - The epitome of cerebral evolution having mastered the magical powers of the universe and is in eternal harmony with the mind of God.
Atheist - An ill-defined term that means something different to everyone who uses it.

Clearly Jesus (a fictitious character or otherwise) will forgive people if they merely know not what they do
For the Bible Tells us so!

Yay, Obama.
But.
I wish he'd dispense with this 'god bless america' shit. It doesn't make the dolts like him any better and just makes him look as stupid as the republicunts to the rest of us.

The United States is supposed to be a secular country. Somebody needs to check their fucking constitution.
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

Funny how the "strict constructionists" never seem to have read the damned thing, isn't it?

Uh, good?

I wish that were true.
Obama has continued the Faith Based Initiatives of Bush. I can't think of anything Obama has done to support the separation.

Yeah. If the founders intended the USA to be a "Christian Nation," the preamble to the Constitution would be more like:
In the Name of the Most Holy Trinity, from Whom is all authority and to Whom, as our final end, all actions both of men and States must be referred, We, the people of the United States, Humbly acknowledging all our obligations to our Divine Lord, Jesus Christ, Who sustained our fathers through many years of trial [...] Do hereby adopt, enact, and give to ourselves this Constitution.
and not:
We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

He is an out of touch, disingenuous, wishy-washy multi-millionaire. The reason he is attacking Obama's "war on religion" is because he is pandering to the conservative base by talking about religion, only he can't pander in the usual way by telling everyone how religious he is since he is a Mormon. You see, Christian conservatives see Mormonism as a cult (an irony of epic proportions), so he can't pander to them with speeches about his faith, so he goes for the next best thing which is Obama's "war on religion."
And yes, he is a dick.

I was going to say pretty much the same thing. Beat me to it.
