(95,337 posts)This is not the teaching of Jesus that Huckabee wants to push on us but Paul doctorine - convert everyone or else. I don't need a government to tell me how to practice my faith, my faith is personal. I don't want a Government telling me how to pray or how to live my life or creating Sharia-type laws from a portion of the Bible that not only did Jesus disregard as important laws to follow but he himself disregarded many of them. (When the disciples asked him what the most important laws were Jesus said to 'Love one Another' - I think we can all live by that law).
Our Founding Fathers specifically created a Constitution that was to be FREE of Government interference over religion. Remember many of these original settlers came from European nations where if you were a follower of the wrong form of religion you could be branded a heretic and burned at the stake. When rulers changed so did the religion of choice. The Founding Fathers wanted to prevent that from happening in the new land they were creating.
Huckabee may call himself a 'Christian' but he's nothing more than a charlatan trying to control the masses over a 2000 year old book he misuses.
