A Person of Faith in 2008!

Mitt Romney reckons that the next President should be a “person of faith”. It doesn’t matter what irrational belief incapable of demonstration the candidate harbors, as long as he has “faith”. A scientologist would do, as would a follower of Ramtha. The latter would at least have the benefit of the wisdom of the spirit of a warrior dead for millennia conveniently channeled by some woman out west. Talk about historic perspective! A candidate who believed in the “Left Behind” eschatology would know just what to do to hasten the end of the world. A follower of the Christian Identity Movement might have some new ideas, let me tell you. Whatever the faith of the candidate might be, the country stands to benefit, albeit in dramatically different ways. In Romney’s favor, he will have the infallible guidance of the President of the LDS church to fall back on, and that has got to be a comfort to his supporters. I’m holding out for a Tiplerite who will devote the resources of the country to the colonization of space and conquest of the whole universe. A snake handling, poison-drinking President might be a refreshing change.
