Religious people who openly let their faith influence their politics bug the shit out of me. It's also a false to claim that one cannot adhere to a religious faith <em>and</em> be a secularist when it comes to public life. Look at that -- me defending religion! <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/01/huckabee_is_a_raving_lunatic.php" rel="nofollow">Huckabee is nuts</a>, though.

But... Liberal religious fanatics OK, Conservative religious fanatics, not OK. I get it. Perhaps I should publish some of the more, shall we say, interesting teachings of Obama's church. Those are pretty enlightening and if Obama doesn't stand behind those teachings, why does he go there? There are LOTs of churches that aren't quite so radical. But Huckabee's the nutjob, correct? Gotcha. lolife says:
