What's scary are lawyers and politicians like Joe Biden who lie all the time, not what people's religious beliefs are. As Judy pointed out, people believe in all kinds of things. Gov Sarah Palin said as much in the debate - why is it that insiders in Congress like Joe Biden vote for the war one day and then change their mind the next day? Joe Biden voted against Gulf War 1 and then voted for Gulf War 2, now Biden wants to pull out of Iraq when victory is in sight.
"In some respects, however, Senator Biden's performance was disturbing. Senator Biden unleashed so many errors, misstatements, stretchers, whoppers, fabrications, and the like that it was hard to keep track. Jim Geraghty has counted 24 Biden lies/errors/hallucinations." http://www.powerlineblog.com/ > Sarah Palin believing that dinosaurs roamed the earth > with humans 4,000 years ago (or whatever it is that she > allegedly believes that everyone is up in arms about)... > > ...or... > > Believing that Jesus dying and being tortured on a wooden > cross will wash away all your sins -- past, present, and > future? > > I find the latter "claim" much more absurd, frightening, > and indicative of mental illness than the former. > > And yet Barack Obama -- who, being a Christian, as > he'll readily admit -- must necessarily subscribe to > the latter.
