26. This isn't surprising... Santorum believes that man's law should be rewritten to follow god's law

Never mind that not all Christians (or Catholics) can agree on the interpretation of the bible (just look at all the different versions of the bible). While railing against sharia law he wants to institute... a Christian version of sharia law and historically, we can see how well that has turned out for fundamentalist Middle Eastern countries.

As a lesbian, I don't want the country I live in that follows Santorum's version of god's law. As a woman, I don't want to live in a country that follows Santorum's version of god's law. As a "mystic" atheist, I don't want to live in a country that follows Santorum's version of god's law. As an American, I don't want to live in a country that follow's any persons version of god's law because I know I won't be represented as a lesbian, as a woman or as a non-believer.
