[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 65850, member: 126"] Re: You're welcome. Divide and conquer. Religion can not be debated with facts, since is based on belief systems. It is not productive to argue with people about beliefs, and worse yet to kill them because of it. Ask the Coptic Christians living in Egypt how they like their new government? If you think that politician is amusing, come visit my neighborhood (Hickory, MS). To address certain constituencies, you must talk the talk. While maybe not exactly that talk (I didn't read it beyond the headline). Our founders in their wisdom protected our right to believe whatever we want. Of course there is something else going on with elected politicians. They are hoping to resonate with a majority of voters (or wasting their time too). Since the constitution keeps church and state separate, it seems even more pointless to campaign based on a religious belief system. While we have seen more than enough negative campaigning from both sides, trying to exclude a candidate because of religious belief. With a couple $B to spend (both sides combined), they will leave no mud, unslung. If they can't find real mud, they will make something up. Perhaps we need to keep our earplugs in for the next month.
