Republicans and A Religious Test

October 10, 2006 — Ron Chusid

Religion has become an issue in a court race in Texas. Law.com quotes a Republican newsletter as saying the Democratic nominee “is reported to be a professed atheist.” The Democratic candidate denies being an atheist, but what if he was? Do we allow the Republicans to establish a religious test for running for public office? This is yet one more way in which the Republicans fail to respect the Constitution. (Hat tip to Andrew Sullivan.)

    Aethist = godless heathen.
    Godless heathens are to be shunned, scorned and set on fire, if at all possible.

    The rest of the script goes as follows:
    GWB was chosen by the big guy, God himself.
    OBL is the Devil.
    Saddam is OBL.
    Liberals are godless heathens.
    Liberals are aethist, anti-American yellow-bellied cowards.
    Liberals aethists would rather cut and run and hide from the power of the Almighty God who is On Our Side and about to smote the Evil Doers out of the holes they are hiding in.
    Halliburton is On Our Side Too.
    Halliburton is the Right Hand of God.

    (Yes, “smote” was a pun on “smoke.”)
