God is everywhere. Especially at the Republican Debates

Does it bother anyone else that a majority of the Republican candidates for President do not believe in evolution? Evolution.............? Do we want a President who believes in the Easter Bunny? The Tooth Fairy? How about those elves who bake cookies inside trees? Because if you do not feel it is important for the leader of the free world to have at least one foot planted in the world of reality then the Republican Party is just where you want to lay your head.

I can deal with debates on issues that are reality based. Abortion, gay rights, and immigration all have merit and are real. But a conscious disregard for scientifically based fact is delusion. We all know what I am talking about..........Intelligent Design. Yes, that mindless, baseless, LSD trip into a world of fantasy. A world that is only 5000 years old. A world that was created in 7 days by a loving God. The same loving God that sent a tsunami to kill over 200,000 of the poorest people on this planet.

The founding fathers felt it a necessity to separate church and state. Our country was founded on the belief that each and every one of us has the right to worship his or her god as we please. Not a single founding father said or wrote that as this nation becomes older that we should turn our backs on fact and embrace delusion. Disbelief in evolution is childlike at best and a sickening and scary trip into a world of make-believe at worst.Please pray for us to your God of choice. Or, if you are an atheist, please cross your fingers and hope for the best. Because if a Republican gains the White House with a mindset similar to a Huckabee or Romney then our golden goose is cooked. Hope my fairy godmother has her cell phone on.
