  5. Faith Based Science Policies are Neither! by itsybitsy · · Score: -1, Troll

    Since it's next to impossible for a reality based person to be elected president due to the overwhelming prejudice among the faith driven belief nuts it's quite an oxymoronic statement to suggest that a faith based presidential candidate could even possibly have a real "science" policy. For if they did have a real science based policy they'd have to give up their precious and sad devotion to whacked out unprovable beliefs in their own thinking.

    Yes, it's not possible for a person of faith or belief to make decisions in the area of science. They simply are not qualified due to their inability to give up their belief in that which can't be tested. Any policy they create regarding science would be faith based due to their inability to distinguish reality from their "god" delusional fantasies.

    Reality is the cure. Try it out for a change in your life. It's a harsh mistress but it's worth it. When you realize that you get only one life life becomes infinitely more valuable. Decisions take on a more important role. A reality based President would be a much more careful and caring person.

    By the way Mitt Romney broke the law - if not the spirit of the law - of Separation of Church and State when he made his prejudicial speech last week against atheists. If he becomes President he would immediately need to be impeached for violation of the US Constitution and Laws regarding this.

    Religion and Beliefs Poison Everything.

    I really hope you're joking. Ron Paul is possibly one of the least trustworthy candidates.
