The Role of Religion in the U.S. Presidential Election

[Brother Hesekiel 2,236]

If I had any say in this, I would have a few simple rules in place:

1) Any presidential candidate who mentions his or another candidate's religion is immediately disqualified from the race.

2) Any media outlet that mentions a presidential candidate's religion is henceforth barred from reporting on the presidential race and elections.

3) Any presidential candidate who claims to be a "Christian" and believes the the Earth is only 6,000 years old is immediately disqualified from running for President or VP.

There is only one instant I am aware of where this event horizon occurs.............conception.

This is the religious part.

It would be were it not for the SCOTUS. Meanwhile, it is just about unavailable in a number of states. For religious reasons.

If the government based it's decision on religion, then abortion would be illegal. Period.

You would have to change the Constitution:

Article VI, paragraph 3

no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

Atheists conceive kids too, no?

Some Christians support abortion. Not everyone follows everything their religion says.

So you guys are proving that religion has little to do with government decisions.

Conception is biological not religious.................or don't atheists know this?

[decocker 7,198]

You would have to change the Constitution:

well whatever, we need government and religion completely separate. that concept isn't working out too well under the current approach.

anyway, before i see a non christian president i'd probably see a non democratic or republican president. we can't even get that to happen..
