Ron Paul Should Read The Constitution

Thanks to Ben who linked to this article written by Ron Paul about how the secular, "elitist" left are waging a war on christmas, Making society immoral and how the founding Fathers envisioned a christian nation with churches as the moral compass of society, Which is funny when we look at the stuff christians get up to.

Ron Paul likes to bang on about the constitution and how he is fighting for it but maybe the guy should read the damned thing, And take some time to read the bible, Especially the bit about lying. Ron Paul, Like other christians, Knows full well that the founding fathers wanted a separation between church and state and they fully believed that the state should support no particular religion. This fact doesn't stop Ron Paul saying the exact opposite.

Paul harps back to the good-old-days and points out that "christmas isn't the same anymore" and that it has lost the "good will to all men" feeling, And instantly blames secularists. Apparently, According to Paul, Secularists hate christmas and feel "offended" when they see nativity scenes on private property and want a legally anti-christian nation. If christians need christmas to exercise good will they are in more trouble than i thought. what kind of morality is that?

The thing is. Secularists don't hate christmas. They just don't want to have to pay for it. Nobody cares what you do on your own property with your own money Ron. But buying christian symbols to celebrate a christian festival on public land with tax payers money in not constitutional, You should know that, Mr Constitution.

I guess Ron Paul is doing with the constitution what most christians do with the bible. He is is selectively reading it and taking out the bits he likes and ignores the rest.

Ron Paul Loses 60% Of Atheist Vote

In what may go down as the biggest mistake in US presidential campaign history Ron Paul lost a spectacular 60% of the Atheist Vote as a result of his making public his views on evolution and creationism, According to a poll conducted on this blog.

Atheists knew for some time that Ron Paul was a christian, But because Atheists generally have their heads screwed on they looked past his invisible-sky-daddy fantasies and focused on his logical approach to government, The constitution and the economy.

But if there is anything Atheists have learned it's that if you find a christian, It's not long before you also find someone who denies reality, Reason, Evidence and logic. Anyone who claims to posses reason and faith posses neither.

Ron Paul could have easily answered the question in a way that kept Atheists on his side and made sure the christians wouldn't reject him as a heathen. he could have said; "well there is a lot of evidence for evolution, I believe that if it is true then god created it". This would have still lost him a few votes and I'm sure a few bloggers would have come down on him just as hard, But for him, A doctor, To say "I don't believe in evolution as a theory" exposes him as someone who is willing to deny evidence because of his religion.

It was good while it lasted Ron, But you blew it. As much as i liked Ron Paul he wasn't in the position to be throwing votes away and i suspect losing 60% of the Atheist vote is going to be quite damaging. I believed that out of all the candidates he was the Atheists candidate simply because of him being a defended of the constitution.

Has Ron Paul Lost The Atheist Vote?

In a move that has brought ridicule and doubt from a lot of bloggers Ron Paul admitted that he doesn't believe in evolution - A scientific fact - And instead believes in a "creator" - The invisible sky daddy theory.

I have seen very few atheists say they will continue to support Ron Paul after he made public his views on evolution.

But are Atheists right to abandon Ron Paul based solely on his views on evolution? Yes, They are. Simply because someone who claims to be a champion of reason, Evidence and rationality can't help but question the intelligence of someone who believes in biblical creation in the face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. It would be hypocritical to demand evidence and rationality from everybody except the leader of your country.

The argument has been made by a few atheists that while his views are wacky, It won't effect the decisions he will make as president. While i partially agree, That is irrelevant. A belief in Santa, Elves or pixies wouldn't directly effect the decisions a leader makes either, But it would cast doubt over that individuals ability to think rationally.

If you want to call your self an Atheist and a champion of reason, You can't continue to support Ron Paul. If you want a rational leader, You can't put a creationist in to office.
