Republican presidential hopeful Mike Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, asks in an upcoming article, "Don't Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?"

The article, to be published in Sunday's New York Times Magazine, says Huckabee asked the question after saying he believes Mormonism is a religion but doesn't know much about it. His rival Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, is a member of the Mormon church, which is known officially as the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

And lo, Elvis didst appear above Graceland, and didst I see Buddy Holly on his right side, and The Big Bopper on his left. And he didst smite all the loony candidates with all their idiotic ideas.
And didst the masses then gather around him, and didst all bow before him.
And He spaketh thus:
"Thank yuh very much!"

I am perfectly happy to have these Repugnicans debate about whose daddy can beat up your daddy all they want. Let them spend their time debating these issues that the America public has no interest in. Won't they be surprised in the general election when they find out they got their asses kicked because they wouldn't talk about issues that really matter.

As Jew, considering all that's been done to my people in Christ's name, I tend to think that Jesus IS the devil!

Can Mitt Romney win the Republican Party nomination without the support of the Christian right?

It was bad enough when American foreign policy became "My God is better than your God". Now it's infected domestic politics too? Doesn't this illustrate the absolute need for a separation of Church and State? And in Christian mythology, aren't Jesus and the Devil brothers? I'm not a practicioner of Christian mythology, but I always thought that in the myth, Jesus and the Devil were brothers. Or God and the Devil. I'm sure there is some relationship in Christian mythology.
The bottom line here is this; a religious test, to become President of the United States, is unconstitutional. Is Huchabee, like Bush, going to wipe his ass with the Constitution? Haven't Americans had enough of this fucking bullshit yet?

I am so tired of this evangelical vs. Mormon game!

We are at war in Iraq! We have a GOP President that thinks it's OK to break the laws of our land and make up his own laws with signing statements! Come on people - Do we really want a Huckabee sitting in the White House? Does anyone think his Baptist preacher background will not impact the way he runs this country as President? I believe Huckabee is the most dangerous candidate in this race for I fear our civil rights will be even more impacted by this man.

Concentrate on the fact that as governor of Arkansas he faced many ethics violations and fines for his behavior. He was easy on crime by signing many pardons - especially the Dumond pardon. He wants to give illegal aliens subsidies to go to college, etc. Wake up people - the Mormon attacks are simply to curry favor of evangelicals and lead you away from actually seeing his record in Arkansas.

As far as I understand it, Jesus and Satan were on the same bowling team and jealousy reared its ugly horned head when Jesus was given the clean up spot even though Satan's average was a full 3 pins higher at 194. The LDS church attributes this to something called magic underwear and golden bowling balls.

Has this what our Presidential campaign has come to? Now we have a debate about mythical characters. This deluded clown Huckabee doesn't believe in science. now he says that Mormons are wrong to think that Jesus and the Devil are brothers.

First, anyone who believes in the devil is not willing to analyze the human psyche. The Devil has been a convenient excuse for a lack of self control. "The Devil made me do it" is a bullshit excuse.

Second, it is assumed that if you follow the teachings of Jesus that you MUST acknowledge his divinity. For some reason, a philosophy is not enough. It has to inexplainably be attributed to God.

And Third, if God is everything, he must be both good and bad, up and down and all things. If God is so great and powerful, how the hell can you think that you speak for God?

There are societies on this planet that would jail me for saying such stuff. I just hope that we don't become one of them.

To all those idiots who say that we were founded on Christian principles, I say, look at your history. We were founded on Masonic principles.

If either one of these idiots makes it into the White House, and start spouting Christian nation this and Christian nation that, it's only going to reinforce the holy war mentality that our Jihadist enemies need to swell their ranks. The majority of Muslims are not the enemies of America. But the Baptists and the Mormons certainly consider all Muslims to be the enemy, and the closer we get to a theocracy, the closer we will get to all Muslims considering us to be the great Satan. Fear the US Department of the Homeland Inquisition, and the US Army's Special Danite Forces. The ghost of Nehemiah Scudder is walking abroad in America. Vote Democrat, and lay him to rest.

they twist faith
and trumpet the devils's call
promissing big
delivering small

and least they boast
come on
that's all they do
that and name drop the name of Jesus
like He's someone they knew...

Hypocrates and viper's
He didn't reserve these words
For the doubter's
Or even for the sinner's
Oh no...
He saved these words for you

What a fucking Nutbag Huckabee is. Perfect for Presdient of the Untied States.

Luckily there will be no "08" elections. Americans will be to busy cleaning up Dick Cheney's next false flag 9/11 Operation and adjusting to Martial law.

I'm so sick of Chritianity and Jesus and all this total BS. Who cares???? A lot of not very bright people that follow what a lot of nuerotic old man recorded in the bible. Jesus, the Virgin Birth, the resurrection, and on and on... total claptrap.

Tax Mormons and Epsicopalians and RCs and Jews and Muslims.

Tax these entertainments and give the money back to us non believing rational tax payers.

The Christers are so retro!
