Yup, you are fine with a wiccan, santerian, a satanist, an atheist, an animist, or someone who believes in magic underwear BECAUSE IT IS INTOLERANT TO BE INTOLERANT

I'll take this one.. I am fine with people believing these because as a practice, they don't strap bombs to their kids and send them into bus stations! Sure, they may be theologically F***ed, but they are currently not killing hundreds of thousands of Christians and Jews in the name of their religion..

Anyone who believes religious affiliation has zero impact on the qualifications for the presidency is simply a moron without hope of persuasion. If a candidate is theologically messed up, how can they not help be a mess in their political philosophy?

It's as if you said "I'll vote for a paranoid schizophrenic for president as long as they are a supply sider", that's how stupid neglecting the religious affiliation of a candidate is.

That does not mean only one religion can hold office (the typical rejoinder from idiots), but it does mean religious affiliation can certainly be a disqualifying factor.

I thought this forum had avoided the "tolerance is everything" relativist mindset, but apparently cob webs still cloud the craniums of many here.
