Romney vs. Huckabee: "Attacking Someone's Religion Is Really Going Too Far"

Republican Mitt Romney retorted to questions about his faith by surging rival Mike Huckabee on Wednesday, declaring that "attacking someone's religion is really going too far."

In an article to be published Sunday in The New York Times, Huckabee, an ordained Southern Baptist minister, asks, "Don't Mormons believe that Jesus and the devil are brothers?"

Does anyone know if glen beck's head exploded? It is hilarious to see what that mofo has to say now.

Remember Ann Coulter's book "godless"? Well, it's time to have a fight of the godfull'o shit.

Don't Mormons believe that Spiderman and Batman are brothers?

Doesn't that contradict mainline comic doctrine, which states taht Batman is a DC hero and Spiderman is a Marvel hero?

Doesn't scripture tell us that Batman lives in a fictional New York-like city called "Metropolis" whereas Spiderman lives in the one, true New York?

I think the candidates really need to clarify their positions on this crucial point.

I think they should both jump off the top of their churchs with everyone watching and see which one god saves, if either.

Kinda like a modern day lions den test.

Let the religious nutcases take over the Republican party. It will be their total downfall in the 2008 election. I love the US because of the separation of Church and State, surely the American public can see how Republicans are trying to turn into the same thing we are fighting overseas

Yeah, attacking someone's religion is going too far.

Attacking someone for not having a religion, that's okay.

But once someone says they believe random nonsense for no discernible reason, well, that just has to be blindly respected.

Ha Ha it's funny as hell to have two grown men fighting over which crazy cult they believe in is the least silly.

Yea, though I walk through the Valley of Political Obscurity,

My Rod and My Staff shall beat the needy and defenseless about the head and shoulders.

Why are evangelicals and liberals SO determined to make Romney's candidacy a referendum on Mormonism?

.

Jesus had a brother named James, so he's the devil? I'm confused. I knew a James once who was a Christian AND a real asshole - could he then have been Satan?

A couple of years ago at a big Christmas gathering, an old friend of mine observed that Ronald Reagan had paved the way for Bush. "But who," he wondered, "is Bush paving the way for?"

Though none of us had even heard of Huckabee then, it seems we may now have our answer. This could be the candidate that starts the big backlash against theocracy in this country by finally pushing things too far.

Well really want to know what they think of my religion the one true religion, the northern, deformed, 3rd day, visogoths of christ the geologist.

Not to be confused by the heathen bastard breakaway cult know as the southern, deformed, 3rd day, visogoths of christ the geologist.
