"It's completely a spiritual thing. This is God's will...A mission to make the culture a better culture, more pleasing to God."
— Karen Santorum on her husband pursuing the presidency

Don't these people realize that the line 'We're on a mission from God' was A JOKE?

People who sincerely believe this frighten me and are dangerous to anyone who doesn't believe their version of religion.

And change a couple of the nouns, say, so that the quote says "This is Allah's will... A mission to make the culture a better culture, more pleasing to Allah" and these same people are foaming at the mouths, shrieking of tyranny and evil and anti-Americanism.

They don't get it... if it would be wrong for a teacher to sit the class down and make them listen to a prayer to Zeus it's equally wrong to make them listen to a prayer to Jesus.

There's a push right now for Michigan liberals to vote Santorum in the primary, to ensure an Obama victory. I can't do it. I just can't. The thought of him being as close to the Presidency as he is already makes me want to hide under the bed with a stockpile of guns and contraception.

Thank you. The substituting Allah is an excellent illustration.

My favorite illustration is the joke of God calling the White House and talking to the President. "I've decided to make the United States a Christian nation," says God. "That's great!" says the President. "We can finally overturn Roe v. Wade, we'll hold a week of prayer and celebration..." "Now hold on a minute," says God, "before you start making plans I should tell you that I'm calling from Salt Lake City."

And now with Romney leading....

Mr. Google Problem is not someone I would say speaks with any authority about the message of G-d,k especially considering how he and his party time and again refuse to take care of the poorest among them, despite some very clear teachings on the matter.
