"No, we don't want a theocracy, we just think that our god should be above the government."
Okie dokie.

And Obama just clearly stated that his economic policies are based on biblical teachings.
Get back to me when you start to care about a President that's quoting scripture to explain his policies, mmmm 'kay?
You'll have to ask a left-winger about this, I'm no Obama apologist. And diversion doesn't work with me - play partisan games with someone else. I don't want ANY President, regardless of which ridiculous party he belongs to, justifying ANY of his actions on his religion. I'm consistent. If you want your life influenced by what a professional politician claims is divine guidance, that's up to you. Mmm kay?
Ralph Reed is as religiously deranged as Rick Santorum, but more dangerous in that he more quietly works behind the scenes to accomplish his religiopolitical agendas. I think Ralph Reed is a very scary dude, but I also think he's very good at what he does. He's no dummy...
I guess when one thinks that his country is his god's chosen country, that really lights a fire under a fella. My god is the true god, my religion is the right religion, my country is the chosen country. Holy crap, that pretty much gives you license to do whatever the hell you want.

First Nations believe that the Creator gave them this land. And we are "Earth Keepers".
That freaks you out?
Freaks me out? Dunno. Concerns me? Yes, indeed. Anyone in a position of authority who is basing his or her decisions on what their god is supposedly telling them, and not on common sense and reason, is not someone in whom I want to place miniscule power, if any.
