[ QUOTE ]
Choosing to never vote for an athiest cannot be compared to the prejudice of never voting for a black person. You don't know anything about the black person's beliefs, morality, etc. by simply knowing their race. However, a religious person knows a priori that an athiest has a fundamentally different approach to morality in that it's not based in a belief in God. Some people are comforted to think that the person whose finger is on the button is a person of faith. Such a person doesn't need to know anything more about the person to know that they wouldn't want that person to be president. It's based on the knowledge of an actual choice or belief of that person (the fact that they don't believe in a god of any sort), so it's not prejudiced. Calling Jennifer prejudiced based on her statement is an unfair characterization.

[/ QUOTE ]Can I laugh at someone who is a total idiot then?

For saying that she doesn't want religion to enter into politics, and then backing up and saying she won't vote for somebody who isn't a religious freak?

Yes, I'm an aetheist.

But think about what you say... You stupid f'ing idiots.



p.s. Jen is definitely a TOP PRO... no doubt about it... but she's also a first class idiot, based on what I've read here.
