    Protestants and all others should be aware of Rick Santorum's views on religion:

    I'm thinking you only got - or passed along to us - a sound bite, Scott, and you're missing something. What exactly, from the soundbite, shoud Protestants and others be afraid of with rick Santorum?

    I'm not a religious guy. Even if I was, nothing in that clip would make me worried about what Rick Santorum might do to me and/or my religion. Maybe I'm the one missing something here, but I don't think so.

    Please tell us in your own words, Scott, what worries you as a religious person about him and his words.

    I listened to both videos twice, so if you forward an even longer one I won't watch it.

    That is a good question but I am not worried about it.

    It appears there are many on the non-Catholic Christian side who support Rick Santorum including Franklin Graham (video below). Franklin Graham appears to doubt Obama's Christianity, but accepts Santorum's. I wonder if Franklin considers that Santorum thinks Franklin's faith is in a "shambles" having lost the battle to Satan.

    No, I'm not going to click on that one.

    Please tell all the Protestants and others out there what we should beware of with Santorum.

    You're losing it, Scott. Even though we've never met, it's been nice knowing you.

    I always thought that the Methodists were the ones we should be afraid of. But since I've never met a Methodist, that I'm aware of, I'm going to go positive and call them the coolest Christians. Isn't there a pamphlet or something that explains the differences between denominations?

    I'll bet Pete has one. Pete....give it up! I want that pamphlet. And Pete, I can't remember. Are you on or off for dinner on the 2nd? If you're "off", then you still need to pay a cancellation fee. I need that fee. To pay for my dinner. Thanks.

    Wait a second, so are Protestants a threat or not? Apparently I'm "Presbyterian." I guess that's some sect of Protestantism..unsure. something something Scottish reformist Calvinist something something. Close enough.

    Scott, please to be explaining your comments. I don't understand the videos either. But am always looking for a reason to like Santorum. Just haven't found anything besides he likes beer and sweaters.

    You're a mystery wrapped in a question shrouded in an enigma, Mr. Wahlin

    If you're saying here that the bible is a take it or leave it proposition, then who's in charge of saying "Oh never mind about that part, just pay attention to THESE parts" ? Is that even allowed?

    Seriously now. Which part of the bible is to be followed and believed as the word of God, and which parts can we disregard? I was under the impression that the word of God is the word of God. You can't just leave out Leviticus because you don't like it, can you? That would be a slippery slope -- that would leave the door open to take issue with Noah's ark, or Adam's rib, and many other sticky questions that most religious folk don't like talking about.

    Or are you saying leave out the entire bible and all the various sects and breakdowns of Christianity, save for being born-again because it's the one and true way to get to where you want to be when your brainwaves cease function?
    I still want to know if Protestant's would be safe under a Santorum Government.

    also, this sums up a lot of my feelings on 'questioning' in general, or I guess the lack of it in some cases:

    In my opinion a debate regarding religion in a political or social context in our country is counterproductive. This may not be true everywhere, but I believe the founding fathers of the US set it up this way on purpose to avoid radical, powerful religious influences from the likes of the Moral Majority, the Catholic Church and the Tea Party. The people of the US need to submit to safety, security and a strong economy first then enjoy the freedoms that are afforded by these attributes second.

    The Tea party is now a religion? Just asking for clarification.

    Once again you bring in the catholic church and the tea party as if it was a cult. What of the occupy groups. What definition would you give this group. I dont believe any one of the three groups have burnt flags destroyed public and private property, allowed to control public places and leave their filth behind for the tax payer to clean up...
    Quote from Mr. Schaeffer "If you do not stand up for all that is good in America and declare that Senator Obama is a patriot, fit for office, and denounce your hate-filled supporters ... history will hold you responsible for all that follows." Just like his father he tries to stir up hate and violence. This man fits right in with the mentality of the occupy group, hate filled, anti-American, pro-socialism rhetoric.

    Rick Santorum says this speech makes him want to vomit and that JFK was the first to express this opinion:
