Santormania? Santorumsanity?

It's spelled SANTORUM, Miss n00bie Lily, ok?

I'm a Newt supporter, but I agree with and fully support Santorum's comments in this matter.

Christians who believe in God's Word need read only a few passages of Scripture to understand that there IS a Devil, who contends for our eternal souls, the very same Devil who tempted Jesus Christ when He walked upon the Earth, the same Devil who will manifest himself in human form in the end times as described in the prophetic books of the Bible in an attempt to deceive and capture as many lost souls as possible.

When Jesus walked among men, He spent more time teaching and preaching about the necessity to AVOID Hell (and by extension the Devil) than any other topic. That is because He knew from personal experience that the Devil is real (and pardon me while I bitchslap Romney and his fellow Mormons when I say that Lucifer was NEVER the 'brother' of Christ).

So what Rick Santorum said is absolutely in line with Scripture, and whether he said it in 2008 is not the issue, he is to be commended for having the spiritual guts to say it at all.

He didn't just limit it to discussing Satan in general, though. He also said:

"Satan is attacking the great institutions of America, using those great vices of pride, vanity, and sensuality as the root to attack all of the strong plants that has so deeply rooted in the American tradition."

"Sensuality"? I'm surprised he didn't mention rock music as well. That hearkens right back to his statement that birth control is bad because it encourages sex for "improper purposes". Like just enjoying it, presumably. And he also said this:

"We look at the shape of mainline Protestantism in this country and it is in shambles, it is gone from the world of Christianity as I see it."

I can understand some people agreeing with those two statements, but I can't fathom a belief that most Americans agree with them. Santorum is preaching to his choir, and they love him for it, but that is how you lose elections.

As for me, the first statement regarding "sensuality" strikes me as weirdly uptight, and the second as dogmatic, self-righteous, and offensive. Perhaps he should have listened more closely to the "pride" and "vanity" components of the first statement before making the second.
