Liars or crackpots?

One hopes the former, in this connection.

How Republican presidential candidates are getting away with denying evolution

But do we really think Democrats are much better?

Who but an idiot actually believed, or anyway was not revolted by, Jimmy Carter's notorious promise, "I will never lie to you"?

We have already been told that O lied about gay marriage.

What do we think of his real religious opinions?

Good grief, people lie not just to their children but to their spouses, or anyway are less than candid with them, about such things.

What if moderators and interviewers kept asking candidates whether they believed in some or all of the Holy Trinity, the Incarnation, the Virgin Birth, the Resurrection, Jesus's miracles, Predestination and Hell, the Bodily Assumption of Mary into Heaven, transubstantiation, the Last Judgment, and the End of the World?

Or even just a personal God, the one and only god, who created all things from nothing?

This could become downright comic.

How many of them have any idea of the full extent of the dogmatic commitments of whichever religion they call their own?

Phooey.
