Huckebee the baptist minister

[_Trevor]

Is that like a fancy do? Funky do? Fun see do?

Nope. It's Funky-see, funky-do.

Mike Huckabee seems to be catching up to Romney in the Iowa polls. Huckebee is a baptist minister. Will his religious beliefs be as scrutinized ans Romeny's. Should they be? Or we he get a pass.

His religious views as they relate to stem cell research, abortion, capital punishment, and perhaps the creationism vs. evolution debate, I think, would be relevant to some. These positions could relate to his religious beliefs. Most Americans don't know much about LDS and are therefore sort of freaked out (gotta say I was too with a few things) when they hear some of the odder parts of the religion. Most people are familiar with mainstream Christianity so there's not such a tendency to delve into it -- for most are already aware of the mainstream Christian ideology.

Actually I was hoping it was Funk Doe.

There's something about those eyes.

Is this somehow going to steer off into a telestial forum?

As I said elsewhere, any Christian who opposes Romney on theological grounds gets no sympathy from me. Sheer idiocy.

Thank you.

So a president who may buy into say the bizarre end time ideas presented in The Left Behind Series is quite fine. Maybe he should be asked his view of the Four Horsemen from Revelation and if he believes it literally in the EV fundie way.

So because more people know about a religion it is ok with them is what you are saying. Give Mormonism another 200-300 years and everyone wil just ingore it like they do the odd beliefs Christians have.

I won't vote for Romney because he strikes me a slick, oily politician.

Huckabee, on the other hand, strikes me as a doofus, so he's out, too.

Call me shallow, but that's how it is when the curtain closes and I'm standing there alone in the booth. It has nothing to do with religion or even the "serious" issues.

For me it's about whether I think I can trust the guy. Or gal, as it were.

Whoever I vote for has to have that certain "funcdo," if you will.

Sadly it would appear so. *cough* Bush *cough*

(Actually I'm just responding to this so I can rip into the Left Behind series. [why did I own all of them? I was stupid in my younger years] Fairly crappy writing, way too much use of God as a plot device and plot mover, wooden characters who seem to come from across the whole spectrum for no other reason than for political correctness's sake, and an AntiChrist so unimaginative that the best name he can up think up for his wimpyass totalitarian regime is the "Global Community". Did he get that name from the Wiggles? Talk about corny.)
