Quote:Bush's religious creepiness
Well, like it or not America's core laws are based soley on religious beliefs. Laws against killing, stealing, lying etc were written and voted on by people that based their core values on religion. The reason most believe that it is wrong to steal someone else's belongings or wrong to kill their neighbor is rooted in the belief of a religion of some type, whether it is Christian, Jewish, Buddist, Islam or whatever.
I for one absolutely see nothing wrong, and want a leader that believes, lives and pronounces their belief in religion. It is the right thing to do and it has carried this country just fine for the past several HUNDRED years. Nowhere does our Constitution forbid this.
Those that feel prayer in school or before a football game is wrong, are those that are part of the problem in America. Those that feel a political leader should not base their core beliefs on a religion of any type NOR lead their electorate based upon that belief are incapable of dealing with the reality that this is what America has been about since it's inception. Only in the latter part of the 20th century until present have the ACLU, liberal Judges, and other groups begun to force their minority opinion upon the majority.
I am not even very religious. I do believe, however, that religion is good and am not blind to the fact that society, as we know it today, is based on religious morality, if not the Bible itself. I especially believe that children absolutely should be brought up with religion in schools and home. It is the right way to live, it is nothing to be ashamed of, it can't hurt you, it is good.
This should not change. The farther away we get from good religious core beliefs, the worse off this country will be.
