At least someone brought up Oprah and Barrack

There will be a coming...and you "apes" won't be going!

Evolution is a concept IMAGINED in a MAN'S mind to make MAN absolute of his own "self-given" authority. You "apes" will just have to see to believe. But when that day DOES come, it will be too late for the "apes". How sad is it to believe that only MAN is in control. Men have done such a wonderful job proving their greatness.

I will pray for you!

I want a President that does NOT think that power starts and stops at their hands, but in fact realizes that GOD exists and has the humility to ask GOD for guidance.

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Ephesians 6:12

The only hope the other Republican candidates have at this point is to secure the endorsement of Vin Diesel or Mr T.

What the country does not need is another Christian Cowboy ... no country left unbombed ... those who are willing to ignore international laws, also are willing to ignore our own laws ...

if you think he is reaching the "young voter demographic" then you cant be that young. especially with chuck norris!!!

i agree with you 100% why are these people FOR prayer in school. do they really think THAT will save america?? we have just had the most religious administration in american history as far as i can see and it was a complete failure, no matter what the ignorant people of this country want to believe. havent we learned our lesson from the past? a nation based on religion will always fail. isnt that one of the MAIN reasons our founding fathers fought so hard. we had a revolution for a reason and these so-called "real americans" are trying so hard to undo everything our ancestors fought so hard for. i know a girl that was homeschooled then put into a christian jr high school and a christian high school and now going to a christian college and she can barely spell. she has no idea about science or math and she wants to go to a regular college but her mother is refusing to let her go to one!! these are the same people voting for prayer in school! its such a shame....look prayer works for some people but for others it doesnt. and as a democracy you CANT force BELIEFS on people especially in school. look at what they do in the middle east!! we are so against that but these hypocritical christians cant even see the difference because they see there religion as "good" and their religion as evil. its just so sad. and chuck norris?!?! you cant be seriouos look at the man. you know you cant have a normal conversation with him he looks like an anti-social manequin!!! i wish this country could grow and understand CHANGE IS GOOD!!!!

please let the democrats win, at least we wont have to deal with ideoligists that will force there ideas on everyone else.

Seriously, read it and try to tell me a guy dug up magic plates in upstate New York and that Israelis sailed to the Americas thousands of years ago before being killed by persons who God punished by making them colored.

The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

I can understand a disdain from organized religion, but I cannot believe the hatred and agony toward God some of you have.

It's going to be a char fest and He won't be roasting smores.

Chris I think you need to take it easy on these people. It's not up to us to determine who will burn and who will not.

If Saul of Tarsus were on this blog before his conversion, Christians today would have judged him as toast too. I don't understand why Christians sell God short on His ability to bring non-believers to His Son. That's pretty much all he's done since the beginning of human creation. Paul himself said that he was the worst sinner by persecuting Christians, even to the point of allowing Stephen to die. Stephen himself did not condemn Saul for his actions. And Christ had every reason to condemn the very men nailing Him to the Cross, but did He? That's why we're not in charge Chris, if we were then anyone who was a blasphemer would be toast.

We can confront behavior and defend Christ but calling people toast puts you in the postition that only the Son Hiself owns. And the Bible says that judgement will begin in the House of God, so perhaps we should take heed as to how we are reacting to those who may not know any better. Christ said of His people "those who do not gather my sheep scatter".

That's pretty cut and dry, and it's something we rarely ask of ourselves when we pop off at others out of emotion.

See how smart that sounds, like Obama and Oprah are racist.

Be real folks an endorcement is just an endorcement. If it helps a candidate then good move for that candidate. THAT IS ALL IT MEANS

I try very hard not to criticize people simply for believing in God. A large number of people in my family are devout Christians, of the sort whom you would probably get along with quite well, because they have the same worldview you expressed so eloquently.

However, I have no problem criticizing in the most vociferous terms those alleged Christians who believe they ARE better then everyone else, who think everyone should be forced to believe what they believe, and who would consign to perdition (or a jail cell) every person who deviates from (or even questions) their dogma. I will not be quietly tolerant of their loud intolerance.

Nor will I let them continue to play the "victim" card, claiming that Christians in this country are subject to persecution and "liberal media bias" and countless alleged slights such as the ridiculous "War on Christmas" nonsense. When a Bible-thumping former preacher-turned-politician from Arkansas is considered a viable candidate for President, while an avowed atheist couldn't get elected dog-catcher in most counties in this country, Christians need to stop whining about how oppressed they are.

Christians who follow the Sermon on the Mount, and truly understand what Jesus was talking about when he said that stuff about "what you do to the least of these" are people I can applaud and support. "Cafeteria Leviticans" who apparently stopped reading the Bible at the verse where God expresses his disapproval of gays – feh.

Implying that you have to choose is a faulty argument. Perhaps "let there be light" is the only way to phrase how the laws of physics and chemistry were created. If you study science, it is almost amazing the way things come together. There is no proof, only wonder. That applies to all things, even scientific "laws" like Newton's...which Einstein technically disproved. I believe in God because of science, experience, and history. A true scientist would never say that data is mutually exclusive...there's no such thing.

Inner cities struggle to lower murder rates and gun violence. This issue is not remotely humorous in Detroit, Philadelphia, Baltimore and many other cities plagued by gun violence.

Perhaps Mike Huckabee, coming from a rural area, just doesn't understand that there are many of us who equate guns with fear and violence.

If he wants to be president, he needs to represent everyone. Not just folks who use guns for legitimate sport and hunting ventures.

If God exists, I think a person who affirmatively denied any religion, and then lived an exemplary moral life, is probably better off than someone who professed a religion and didn't actually believe it, unless they lived an EVEN more exemplary moral life.

What did religion have to do with WW1,WW2,korean war, vietnam war, and gulf wars 1&2? Or did I miss the nine wars fought since these wars?
Its not the religion of christanity, its the people who use christanity for those purposes, grow up we're not all hatemongers nomatter what the secular progressive, card carrying ACLU member programmed you to beleive.

hes only backing him because hes white. There are you happy

Whaa? I make racist overtones? Can I download that to my cellphone?

What does Chuck's endorsement of Huck's run for prez have to do with race and what exactly are these racist statements I make? Help me out here since I am completely void of white man's guilt.

Ron Paul in 2008!

I'll pray for you tonight. The truth will eat at you day and night.

In the meantime I urge everyone here to vote for Ron Paul. You want a revolution? You want a strong leader with bold ideas? You've had it all this time. The media just won't spotlight him.

Hey Travis, the most dimwitted fool of all: go back to school and actually learn something about evolution and the laws of thermodynamics. It's painfully obvious you know nothing about either because your statements are incorrect. Unfortunately, for all your ignorant blather you don't see creationism for what it is-a thinly veiled attempt to force religion into the classroom

Yet another right wing dolt bringing up that whole Vince Foster thing, which has been investigated and determined to be a suicide, unlike the 3,000 plus American citizens for whose death George Bush is responsible.

Get a clue, John

Pascal's Wager is quite a disingenuous reason for believing in Bronze Age superstition, not to mention the false dichotomy it presents. Though I have to admit, it is a very human tendency to engage in specific behaviors for perceived rewards.

We gotta stop criticizing people for believing in God. Its the biggest misconception in the world that Christians think there better than everone else. The essence of the whole religion is that we KNOW we're not better than anyone, and we try everyday to correct and improve on each of our infinite flaws.

Keep doin what your doin, Huckabee. Your a breath of fresh air.

Go on believing your fairy tales, Chris. I prefer reality, and I know that in reality gods and religion are man-made devices used to control other people.

You say that some people are gonna be "totally screwed" at the coming. I maintain that there IS no "coming" coming.

Your comment:
The Bible is a fairy tale of sorts that you either believe in or not.

I think I had rather believe in it now and find out it wasn't true than not to believe in it only to find out it was.
