politicians talking about god are idiots?

I don't understand how this country (US) could be founded on religion when the 1st amendment guarantees the separation of church and state. Politicians who seek votes by professing their religion don't look like idiots to me. To me they come across as being anti-American.

I think that not only do they have a high ego, but can actually be dangerous to society.  I believe in God, but I disbelieve in organized religion.  I believe that our hearts are the temples we worship God in.  Basically, any small group of people who get together to make decisions for a large group of people make me uneasy.  If you back one of those fundamentalists into a corner and ask the hard questions like "Why did my Mom die of cancer?" or "Why did my little boy get hit by a car?"....you're going to get "It's God's will"  or  "the Lord works in mysterious ways".  The truth is, they don't know.  But they DO know that God wants you to vote Republican, and He's against raising taxes but He's for the defense, and even though it's one of His creations, He desperately hates marijuana.   Personally, they just make me nervous.

I think I am just a little bit dumber for just reading that. seriously. You should spend your time becoming better educated. once you have a pHd, then I will read your foolish questions. \n\nAnd about my belief in God...it still remains.

Well they don't represent God in this issue. God made laws to protect his people. They need some reading time.\n\n\nNotice the hush on this post.--unbelievable

Unfortunately, a lot of people who claim to be Christians are pretty stupid.  A lot of them don't know what they believe, let alone why they should believe it.  This is, in part, a product of the culture in which we live.  The pluralism and relativism that dominate much of American thinking tend to preclude intelligence.  Despite the increasing focus on academic credentials in our society, it is still highly anti-intellectual.  Whatever lip service is given to critical thinking skills in schools, I've heard very little of it in the class room.  So... in essence, I would say that, because there are a lot of stupid people in the world and because Christians are people, there are a lot of stupid Christians.\n\n...or is this question sarcastic and you're just being a narrow-minded bigot who doesn't know a thing about Christianity?

I'm with you.  "God" is either evil or incompetent.  Take your pick.

This is what's truly hilarious about the liberals. They swear to God (strike that, they don't believe in God)- swear to whatever the hell they believe in that W is an idiot, and we're all mindless drones for thinking other wise. They laugh for months if he so much as mispronounces something (apparently further proof that he's retarded), and yet...\nthey actually believe that this same guy could have masterminded 9-11 just so he'd have an excuse to go after Saddam and steal his oil. WTF kind of mindset is that, anyway?\n\nBut what else can we expect from people who keep re-electing Ted-dui Kennedy?

Religion and politics don't mix.  One is "man's" law, and the other is man's interrpretation of God's (or whomever's) law.

The men who created God have showed the faults of their intellect and understanding of what was really going on. We have since learned that some of the things that they thought were wrong. They were dummies. So when mistakes are found in the Bible  people will come up with all sorts of self created explanations and excuses. Just look at some of the ridiculous answers they have given here.

I'm a lib and I'm not Godless. I pray privately and go to church on Sunday. If the founding fathers had wanted God in our government they would have put it in the Constitution. Read it or at least do a word search. Were the founding fathers godless? \nIt's the neocon Christianists who are destroying America and it's Constitution. We are stopping them by voting. Look at the results of the last election. America is turning its back on the divisive and inflammatory rhetoric of the lunatic right.

because nobody can logically prove whether it is or is not valid. and religion is a touchy subject, politicians don't want to isolate anyone.

you're dumb for trying to flame that into a religious debate when it's really not. That's just what that guy wants.
