Does this piss anyone else off?

How can a potential president of the United States think that humans and Dinosaurs coexisted? Its disgusting how someone with that much potential responsibility can be so stupid.

your thoughts?

Separation of church and state but try getting an athiest elected. Hell, look at all the discussion on the Romneys choice. There are more issues than a persons PERSONAL religious beliefs.

Have a good one!:s4:

Can you provide *PROOF* that man and dinosaurs didn't coexist??

Yes. Radio-carbon dating on fossils and igneous rock. Creationists will say this "theory" is full of holes....which basically means not EVERY single fossil was found, so of course there are going to be evolutionary gaps in species.

My main problem with this situation is that having a person with his beliefs running a country is downright dangerous. Did you know that Bush admitted god told him to invade iraq? This is the crap you get when you turn a cold shoulder to the inane thought processes of the people you are voting for.

Those and many other reasons are why I am not the least bit tolerant of religion. Religion is the number 1 killer in the world., more than cancer and heart disease combined. It's a fairy tale.

I think maybe we half agree, but not 100%.

I agree that people who think they are on a mission from God can be very dangerous, and I would not be too surprised if that's what Bush thought. But I would be very surprised if Bush ever publicly said he invaded Iraq because God told him to, even if that is what he really believed. Can you cite a source for that info, or is it something "implied" like your claim that Huckabee said man and dinosaurs coexisted?

I can't personally stand Bush, and Huckabee is too religious for my tastes, but I don't think you should say they said things that they never really said just in order to make them seem more ridiculous than they really are. I don't believe Huckabee ever said man and dinosaurs coexisted, and I don't believe Bush ever said God told him to invade Iraq. Unless you can cite a source, I think you are putting words in their mouths. The facts are enough without making stuff up.

Religion itself is not bad, but religious extremism is. My reasons for not wanting overly religious people in the white house is that they tend to want to tell the rest of us how to live our lives. I don't care what a person's personal religious beliefs are as long as he doesn't try to get them into law. I think the far religious right are trying to use their freedom of religion in order to deny the rest of us our own freedom of religion, or our choice not to have a religion. The Republican party is so beholden to the religious right that they have abandoned their defense of personal liberty, and now they are always in our business about who we can have sex with, what we can smoke, what we do with our bodies, what medical procedures we can have. They've gotten away from their roots in order to keep the religious right in their corner. That's a shame, and it's the main reason I am not a Republican.

It doesn't matter what his views on evolution are... what matters is...Do I think he can get the country back on track?? Can he do the right things right....regardless of whats "popular" at the time?? Can he keep a cool head when everybody else is losing theirs??
For me, its all about being able to *DO* the job.

You cannot disprove that there is a teapot in orbit around the earth, but all logic points to the obvious fact.

Someones been reading Richard Dawkins:The God Delusion. Good book very clever man if u have an interest in the validity of dogmatic religion this book is definately worth a read. Should sort u out lol

I agree that it's not the most important question. I was asking because the topic of the thread is Huckabee's views on evolution, so I was wondering what Thompson's views were.
