Huck wants God stuff in the Constitution
January 15th, 2008 at 06:50pm Pat Cunningham
Mike Huckabee, the Baptist minister who’s running for president, SAID Monday that he thinks we should “amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards…”
OK, we could do that. One problem, though, Mike. Who’s going to decide what “God’s standards” are? You? Me? The pope? Pat Robertson? Some rabbi? Maybe a Muslim?
You see, Mike, most Americans believe in God, but they don’t all agree on what God wants. Even within a given religion or denomination — take Catholicism, for instance — the faithful are not of one mind on how best to serve or please God.
Maybe it’s best to leave the Constitution the way it is and not try to fill it with your ideas of what pleases God. Millions of other religious Americans have ideas different from yours on that score.
Maybe, too, you should just go back to preaching in churches and forget this notion that you’re qualified to be our president. Lots of good and faithful Christians — not to mention plenty of people of other religions or no religion at all — think you’re not qualified. Your proposal to change the Constitution only proves their point.

I’m all for letting the members of the Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster decide.

They’re pretty much as good as any others awaiting the call. And actually better qualified than some.
