An Atheist For President??

Not in my lifetime, although I never thought I would see a Catholic (Kennedy), a female (Clinton), or a African American (Obama) as contenders.

I really think that a Transvestite has a better chance than an atheist of being nominated for president of the U.S.

What are your thoughts.---------Could you support an atheist?

RedGlitter · 06-09-2008, 07:41 PM

Yes, I would have no problem with that.

Since I don't specifically vote for someone because of the religion they are, I doubt I'd vote against someone for the sole reason that they weren't religious at all.

If God isnt on the candidates side Id like to know what spiritual force drives them.
If no spiritual self exists then that candidate is void of an important aspect of humanity in which case Id not tust them enough to vote for them.

I'm not a US citizen or resident, but I would prefer an atheist as a national leader.

Well, you had one as the head of the FBI.

it matters that the American citizen selects a Christian guided by the Spirit of Jesus, it's a pity nobody checked properly whether the current acolyte of Satan was just mouthing off when he laid claim to the experience. Oh - and check whether the candidates know what a Crusade is and that they're Bad Things before you choose this time, it's important.

Agreed. I think we are where we are because of so many terms without a real God fearing president.

I thought the US had a policy of separation between church and state?
In that case an atheist would most likely be a better choice, and seeing what the God fearing Christian ones have done so far couldn't do much worse
