re: #97 Walter L. Newton

You use hyperbole… I never said anything like that. But you make my point, at what point in the future does a politicians belief in G-d come into possible play… at what point will reporters ask that question? You tell me it’s not possible?

I’m an atheist, I have no god in this fight, but I see all this angst about peoples beliefs in general backfiring someday, someday when any mystical, magical, mythical belief makes a persons suspect as to their mental capabilities.

But personal belief in God already comes into play. In every Presidential election there is sort of a mini competition to see which candidate is more devout. And an atheist has essentially zero chance of being elected.
