It's not just the obvious insane people like Bachman either.
It's pretty much ALL Republicans and Democrats. They ALL talk about "Jesus" and God.
It's depressing to see our leaders believing in superstition and fairy tales and even governing the country with those ideas.
I watched Bill Maher's movie "Religilous"
It was awesome.
In one scene, he went in and sat down with a United States Senator. He asked him if he believed in the bible. The Senator, of course, said "yes".
Maher then asked him if he actually believed that Jonah was eaten by a whale. The Senator said "yes" because it was in the bible.
Maher asked if he believed that Noah put 2 of every species of animal on Earth on his boat...the Senator said "yes" because it was in the bible.
Just outrageous, and sad.
Maher asked the Senator if he could think of ANYTHING else from the Bronze Age of mankind that he would believe. The Senator said of course not.
But Maher pointed out that for some reason, the Senator DOES believe an old book of fairy tales written by a small Jewish tribe of goat herders.
It's not only ridiculous, but it's fucking dangerous for our leaders to run around professing their "belief" and "faith" in this bullshit.
The Democrats do it too.
Hell, every President in modern times has had to profess their belief in Christianity and be seen going to church and give interviews about their "faith".
I can't imagine that the founding fathers or Pres. Washington or Pres. Jefferson would be too pleased by this crap.
