In last night's non debate by the Republican candidates for president the Reverend and former Governor Mike Huckabee said that Americans "ought to be able to respect people who don't have any faith." Yet, in a book he co-wrote in 1998, Huckabee spoke from his heart of hearts when he said this: "Men who have rejected God and do not walk in faith are more often than not immoral, impure, and improvident (Gal. 5:19-21). They are prone to extreme and destructive behavior, indulging in perverse vices and dissipating sensuality (1 Cor. 6:9-10)."
Which is it Mike? I find his duplicity to be obnoxious and is right up there with the other religionist candidate Mitt Romney. I have more than a couple friends who are non believers in any God or in Christian theology/tradition. I have known all of them to be highly principled, ethical, respectful and constructive members of our society.
Maybe Mike only knows of the godless in Arkansas and maybe that's how rednecks who have lost their faith behave. We could talk about another man from Arkansas who indulged in perverse vices and dissipating acts while governor of Arkansas and occupant of the Oval Office for eight years.
