There's a topic in L&R that you would do well to read. Particularly a post that explains the meaning of religion to the OP. If all men held that message in their hearts, there could be no evil.

And of course no one misses the opportunity to get their face on the front page.

I sometimes wish the media would ignore such people so they stop trying. Same reason you dont give attention to children when they are throwing a tantrum.

I need no stinkin' religion to guide me to do no evil. For some non-sense reason, religious nuts can't figure out that people can have morals and ethics without religion.

I agree, if we chop off their hands, drill out their eyes, and crack their kneecaps out they wont be able to hurt anyone. We need to do this to ALL people that harm children.

Ole Huck's god is a master of violence and has inspired violence in his believers many times and historically on a large scale.

His theory is pure bullshit.

Pardon me, the whole idea of partisan religious principles, is to postulate that there is only one true religion. And thus the only one true religion is justified in tossing the new born babies of a false religions into the fires of extermination. As their God somehow justifies mass murder and the worst of all possible Human behavior.

While single out just Huckabee, when we can find far worst examples on all sides of religions idiocy. Not just now, but through human history. The message of kill for God, Kill for God always sells

I am so proud to be a human being at this point in time that am inspired by my God of Spinoza to just puke, and keep puking in total disgust. As I maintain there is not a dimes worth of difference between between Christians like Pat Robertson and Muslims like Osama Bin Laden. because they are turds of a feather.

LMAO, somehow i doubt someone with enough mental illness to cause mass murder against little children can really appreciate religious doctrine.

And conservatives wonder why the west is becoming less and less religious: it's because of you.

It's not like religion stopped slavery and genocide back in the day.

I think Huck means well, even though he doesn't think straight. There was no separation of church & state when the crusaders took Jerusalem, slaughtered the inhabitants, or when the Turks took Constantinople & did the same, either. Whole towns were put to death in the wars of the Reformation, so as to save their souls. The Holocaust was an expression of religion.

More slaughter has occurred because of integration of church & state than the separation.

Is this the same Mike Huckabee who pardoned a guy who went on to murder 4 police officers? I wonder if he has a religious theory on how that occurred.

Didn't he pardon the guy that raped Bill Clinton's niece(third-cousin?) as well? Or are they the one and the same?

I honestly don't know anyone that likes Huckabee, and I have a lot of far-right Christian family members. Worthless human being.

We can really solve all these problems by just giving everybody a gun. We will be much safer if everyone has a gun...cause you know, that has worked so well.

How many people have to die before these idiots stop claiming that "guns don't kill people"?

Huckabee is a fucking moron. He knows nothing about the shooter, but tells us that Godlessness was the cause.

When, as is overwhelmingly likely, we find out that Lanza has a long history of mental illness, what is Huckabee going to say? That allowing Christ into our schools would have cured Lanza?

Let's see the mental illness statistics on fundie Christians versus the general population. Wanna bet that there's no difference?

I couldn't have said it better myself. Generally I don't think Huckabee is a bad man, but these types of comments are wrongheaded and disrespectful in my opinion.

I edited this quote, and it's one of the stupidest and ill-informed posts I've yet to read here.

So many killings and crimes against humanity have nothing to do with religion, past and present. I'm not defending religion as much as I am willing to enlighten you and remind you that the more recent killing sprees are due to human stupidity.

I'm no great fan of LL, but I'm pretty sure he's saying that Huckabee is wrong to suggest that introducing religion into the equation would have prevented this act of violence because there is, after all, much violence which is motivated by religion. Not quite the same thing as saying there isn't any violence not motivated by religion, which is the position you seem to be ascribing to him.
