FFS - those of you that are of decent intellegence - please explain
 

HOW has it become so acceptable for RELIGION to be such an acceptable topic to be discussed in the US election?

It is just so ridiculous to hear things like "Sarah Palin speaks in toungues" or Obama saying "Sarah Palin is deeply religious - that's a good thing"

I mean FFS!

Should the sane amoungst us all just mass suicide or what?

Rant over.

P.S. Are there ANY other 1st world countries in the developed world that allow religion to be even mentioned in election campaigns or discussed in government? I think not. How did USA go so far down this path.

all over the middle east, latin america and now here

switch off

simple - they want religious folks votes.

Probably the best advice. Very difficult though. The most powerful nation in the world wants to elect a government that believes in an invisible boogy man in the sky.

It's exasperating.

Since when is this anything new?

And just think, our forefathers came here to escape religious persecution, which is why they wanted a separation of church and state implemented. But, I guess the constitution has lost it's intended meaning over the years.

There's a extreme majority of american's that believe in religion and creationism and hate blacks..

Religion is important to a lot of american's if not most.

even more so to the actual voting population. going after those religious whacks is going after a large portion of the vote.

Ahem, only their religion. All other religions are totally unacceptable and punishable by war.

This is 2 years old, but still I'd bet pretty accurate:

Better suck it up, sunshine.
