Why would I want someone who doesn't believe in God leading this country?
- because they are capable, honest and can do a good job of it. Or hadn't reasons like this occurred to you?
Someone that is letting God lead his or her life is going to make better decisions than someone that isn't letting God guide his or her life.
- Really? Like Bush? The man who lied America into an unjust and illegal war?
All we need is a president that will take away religious freedoms and persecute those that believe in God. Is that what you all want?
- a president who would do that is there already. He has blood on his hands. Moreover, he has established that might is right forever after. And if America ever weakens, it can expect to reap as Bush has sown!
If you don't believe in God then that's your choice, but an athiest will certainly not make a good president due to the fact that this person will make decisions based on public pressures and feelings.
- How naive can you be. Politics is the art of the possible. They all make decisions on what is possible, as determined by pressures and public opinion.
They won't know how to discern a situation
- You know this how? It's more likely to be the religious who confuse their personal beliefs with the 'will of god' and mess up that way.
and ask God to help them make the best decision.
- and if god answers, does that prove they are sane? OTOH, if he doesn't answer, what the hell do they do?
That's the difference between an athiest and someone who believes and follows God
- this last section seems quite disconnected... LIke you are, I suppose.
