Common belief in God Almighty

[dev22]

Is what ties us together as Americans. Huh.

Also, in God We Trust shows that we know from whom all blessings flow.

Thanks, Marco Rubio!

At least it isn't Eastwood.

[teflep]

Eh, it's what he believes.

[eclaires]

MH, who is more conservative than I am said, "Too much God in there, Marco Rubio!!!"

[llama]

Marco Rubio, reminding me that there's no place for me in his version of America since 2012. :-|

[cattledogkisses]

Oh dear.

Attitudes like this are honestly why I am struggling lately with my identity as a Christian. I don't want to be associated with these people. Sigh.

it's the common belief in God that bugs me. As if anyone that does not believe I. The judeo Christian God is an "other".

[heyjude]

But he's so cute when he says it!

[basilosaurus]

So Ann Romney doesn't think I exist, since I'm not a mom. And Rubio thinks I'm not American b/c I don't believe in god. Good to know the GOP welcomes me.

I get it, but I didn't read it that way, at least in the context of his speech.

First time in my entire life I have wished I was straight. Literally. Anything to alleviate my irritation with this man would be so welcome.

Only for the fake Jews, right.

[horseoutside]

I find him totally terrifying. So slick, well-spoken and spewing so much crap. Ew

"Faith is the most important American value."

Huh??

Not really.

[basilosaurus]

Judeo-Christian is just short for "we're totally zionists, too, vote for us."

Also, they think it's a magic trick to get us to not realize that they want to create a Christian theocracy. It's totally inclusive if you through Judeo in there!

So is it that he doesn't believe he can have anything in common with an American that doesn't believe in God or is it that he believes only those who believe in God are Americans?? Because I guess he feels no tie to 'Mericans who don't believe in God

I watch both conventions every four years, or as much as I can stomach of them. 2008 was the first time I felt the Republicans were openly telling me "We don't want your vote and you're not one of us". My mouth was hanging open throughout Sarah Palin's speech as she continually dissed the whole right coast, over and over again.

It seems to me that it used to be different, that they would try to persuade people into the party instead of first alienating and then declaring war on them.

Because he believes in God does not mean he thinks those that dont are others.

That is exactly what he said though. That what unites Americans is a belief in God.

Then I must have misheard him as I didn't hear him say anything about nonChristians. Maybe he thinks they went to Canada?

Same god that Muslims believe in, but when was the last time you heard "Judeo Christian Islamic"?

Atheists = fucking Commie bastards

Atheists are not the only nonChristians. What are other faiths? fascists?

[ttt]

There are other faiths that don't believe in "God Almighty" too. It's not just atheists and agnostics he has excluded here.

But obviously those people aren't real Americans and hence don't count.

vExactly. That's why I said Judeo Christian God - although maybe I shouldn't have

I am pretty sure he wasn't taking about the Hindu Gods.
