Pointing out your religious beliefs, and voting based on them isn’t the issue.
The issue is the non-bigots who wrote Article 6 of the Constitution -—ie: what I posted here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2833027/posts?page=22#22
The fact is, you would not have put that in the Constution because you don’t agee with it.
How is that any different that Leftists who ignore the parts of it they don’t like?

I never said I didn’t agree with the constitution. I firmly believe that the GOVERNMENT should not limit religious beliefs or that the GOVERNMENT should require a religious test for office.
That does not change the fact that INDIVIDUAL VOTERS CAN have a religious test for office.
You seem to think that the constitution doesn’t allow for that and yet there is no prohibition against VOTERS having a religious test.
There IS no -state- test for religion. Anyone of any faith is -elibible- to run for the office. That has no bearing on what -voters- may weigh in casting their votes.
If you are serious you get an F for reading comprehension.
If you are a propaganda agent you get a D+ for only hauling in really stupid people.
All Americans have the guaranteed right to consider their personal faith, and a candidates religion, when voting, it is protected by our constitution.
Don’t try to challenge that.
