Why exactly do liberals think a candidate’s religion is a relevant campaign issue?

I am not agreeing with this woman, but my religion determines, for me, what is right and wrong. I would think that would be a relevant campaign concern.

[Stark_GOP]

No, actually the Bible says what the Bible says and not what you want it to say.

For example,
Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Oh, I thought she put her kid up in the Gov’s face because he looked like a monkey and needed an answer. :(

Don't know about the kid, but it sounds like the mother is a monkey's ass.

[GatorGirl]

Excellent answer. The man can definitely think on his feet!

“Why exactly do liberals think a candidate’s religion is a relevant campaign issue?”

I love it. No, really, I hate it.

Every time there is an open republican primary we are treated to the MSM (who are most likely just a bunch of atheists) inquiring into the finest points of theology as espoused by various Christian sects down through the ages.

Do you believe in evolution?

Is the pope the anti-Christ?

Do you support Israel just because you long for the “end times”?

Yet when Barack Obama was revealed to have been not only a member of an anti-white, anti-American church, but had the pastor of that church as his spiritual advisor and mentor, it was shrugged off. And a wee bit later, said mentor was under the bus, since he’d had the nerve to tell the Washington Press corps exactly what he’d been telling his congregation for many years.

Maybe next time we need to get a Jewish person to run.

Just to watch their tiny little pinheads explode.

And you’d lose a bunch of GOP votes for that, in the primary, and probably also in the general.

Maybe you think that because you've only heard idiots reply to such questions? I even leave Biology Professors speechless. (One asked if I'd be interested in writing a paper about what we talked about.) I'm not the sort to go ranting that everything in Genesis is the literal truth, but isn't that what the Darwinists want little children to believe about The Origin of Species?

I’m following what the scriptures actually teach...not what the incorrect translators teach. On top of that..with the proper translation on age vs day then you find a witness...you have the bible and then you have a witness in archaeology. HE put it out there to find...we’ve found it...yet, man’s doctrines, traditions, commandments of men and of course fables has corrupted the truth.

[Cowman]

I’m guessing this woman drives a Volvo with bumper stickers all over it.

Maybe, But I'm sure she sleeps with her teachers union card.

Is this another ‘FReepers-hate-science-because-we’re-stupid’ post?

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

The comments at your link are disgusting, and one includes this loathsome link;

...why anyone ever thought it was a good idea too teach Darwin to school children.

Because they're too stupid to learn spelling.

[shield]

NO...the scripture says: Gen 1:31 God gazed upon all that He had made and it was very beautiful. Thus the close came, and the dawn came of the sixth age.

[Bigg Red]

And I am guessing there is no father around. Typical obnoxious progressive — using her child instead of asking the question herself.

[Allegra]

While Perry was answering the child's question, the mother continued to loudly whisper in the child's ear to ask him about evolution and why he doesn't believe in science.

I guess the silly progressive didn't have the guts to ask the stupid questions herself?

[Elendur]

the same people, who criticise Romney for flip-flops,
give Perry a pass, for praising Islam, and refusing to show the same courage as Bachmann and Palin do, about his faith?

Perry praised the religion that our troops are killed in the name of.
that may be your kind of evangelical,
but i’ll take Bachmann OR Palin, ANY day.

Perry endorses Guliani and Gore, is pro Amnesty for illegal immigrants, makes government bigger and spends more, forces girls to get vaccinated for an STD that the NT Times and the United Nations backs, etc.
Mark Levin and Michelle Bachmann have problems with him.
...if ANY other candidate, had so much in common with the NY Times, etc., he’d be called a moderate like Romney.

...but all this is ignored, because... “Perry is Awesome”.

Rich lefties love Texas and NH. I know a couple of progg-rats who winter in Texas and summer in NH. They "earned" millions, mostly by taking money from really stupid investors and wasting it, and briefly "worked" in Massachusetts while making their legal residences in NH. They are athiests, but donate hundreds of thousands to the Church of Planned Parenthood, who practices their ritual blood sacrifices by proxy.

Hmmm...now...what do NH and TX have in common? I just can't put my finger on why rich marxists would live there...?

Boy, I thought YEC was sort of finally in decline, based on less posts about it. Disappointing it isn’t.

Drawing a parallel between global warming and age of the earth is beyond silly. All the actual Young Earth scientists(whose degrees are in fields actually RELATED to the age of the earth, like geology) are indeed ACTUALLY a microscopic group of ignored crackpots.
