Reply #46: I acknowledge that many people have faith.

[Warren DeMontague]

That's great. I firmly support their right to worship as they choose. I don't even think their churches should pay taxes; how about them apples?

Most Americans watch sports. Let's make the election about that, too, okay? Going to the bathroom is a part of the American Experience- so is sleep; it takes up a third of all our lives. I think from now on we should have the candidates not only relieve themselves at all rallies, but take a nap. You know, just to represent the full "American experience".

('Most Americans' are also pro-choice. How come that particular issue is being soft-pedaled this election season?)

Beyond that, how would you have the government 'acknowledge that many people have faith'- give everyone flag shaped cookies with Jesus on them? We've already got "In God We Trust" on the money, personally I don't blow a gasket when Democrats close stump speeches with "God Bless the United States..."

What I don't agree with is political parties using specific religious beliefs as an empty prop-- and if handing out King James Bibles like a Kerry-Edwards rally is some kind of friggin' revival doesn't fall into that category, I don't know what does.
