Actually, I think you are missing the point of my post. It has nothing to do with whether one believes in God or not. It has to do with persons such as Santorum who do not hesitate to condemn and criticize fundamentalist Muslims, but then turns right around and wants to impose Christian laws of his choice on people in this country, whether they are Christian or not.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Insofar as whether you believe the Bible to be a fairy tale, that is entirely your business and I'm certainly not going to criticize you for it. That's your choice, which would be greatly curtailed under Santorum (at least publically), just as any criticisms not in line with the religious leaders in Iran are not permitted there.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for whatever belief systems you have, more power to you.<br>

<p>Oh, I get it. And so does Mr. T. Santorum and his Muslim kindred are two flavors of the same food. The only reason they hate each other is because they're in competition for the same turf. All collectivist systems require subjugation of souls and they hate nothing more than competition from outside groups preaching the same sermon. Cuts in on their market share.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>You, on the other hand, seem to get the fact that religion and other systems of moral constraint should be personal. And to think you're a Baptist!<br>

Winning the Lotto Max is the least of your problems. You know you're going to hell for your statement, don't you? <span><img alt="angel9.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/angel9.gif" style="width:42px;height:23px;"></span><br>
