remember when that one guy was sworn in on the koran? remember the outcry? all the talk of christian roots and tradition. what about the big deal some made about obama possibly being muslim? those criticisms were primarily, appeals to christian bigotry in this country. people who have the usa as their #2 priority have no business being president.
Well then you would have a problem with most Christians. Because most Christians believe that faith is above all other aspects of life, including their country. I, myself, believe this. The reality is that Christianity is different from other religions and would not be harmful at all to America. Some people believe that Mike Huckabee will include the ten commandments in the constitution and force people believe in Christianity. This is simply incorrect. Since Mike Huckabee claims he is a Biblical Christian, he should be for freedom of religion. The Bible is for the freedom to choose to believe.
