Rick Santorum is an evil amoral power hungry sanctimonious ego maniac that gets high on hate

If people could think without religious context or bias for one minute, they could see that Rick Santorum is an evil amoral power hungry sanctimonious ego maniac that gets high on hate, other than that, he is an articulate guy with a nice sweater vest... Albert Einstein, as smart as he was, studied his entire life time and concluded that we cannot know the mind of God, the infinite, invisible, eternal energy behind all existence. Republican Presidential candidate Rick Santorum, no Einstein, concluded that we can.  All we have to do is heed to the words of Jesus -Santorum is a self-appointed "Jesus Guy"-and to interpret those words in accordance with theological understandings selected by him, and those who agree with him,  from selected Evangelical Protestant and Catholic sources.

Then you will know exactly what God thinks about contraception, global warming, a strong military, states rights, women's rights, civil rights, trickle down economics, sex and everything else. Santorum's expressed belief is "America belongs to God." Which God?

He has totally misrepresented what Kennedy said and the meaning of that speech. Rick, you must have missed this part: 


JFK; "I believe in an America that is officially neither Catholic, Protestant nor Jewish; where no public official either requests or accept instructions on public policy from the Pope, the National Council of Churches or any other ecclesiastical source; where no religious body seeks to impose its will directly or indirectly upon the general populace or the public acts of its officials, and where religious liberty is so indivisible that an act against one church is treated as an act against all." See that last part Rick. You are dead wrong. The concern at the time was that Kennedy, being Catholic, would be taking orders from the Pope and then imposing the Pope's wishes on everyone. He's saying, No, all religions are free, and equal and that no elected official should follow instructions from a religious leader concerning policy. That certainly doesn't mean that people of faith are not allowed to participate , express their views and vote their conscience. It's ridiculous to suggest it. Here's the deal Rick, anyone, believer or otherwise, is encouraged to participate as a citizen and express their views as a citizen. That means realizing that when you come to the table of public discourse you have to argue the merits of policy based on facts and principles we hold in common. Quoting the Bible as if your personal interpretation gives your opinion some divine weight that others don't have, just won't cut it
