Better the devil you know.

This is a conversation that should have been had long ago.If citizenship can be an issue.why can religion be not that same?

"We all understand the implications of having a Christian president. We do not understand the implications of having a Mormon president,” Silverman said. “We are not taking a position on the election, we are taking a stance on ignorance"

This Scarey, has been discussed before. JFK's famous statement to the Houston Ministerium one would have hoped put an end to this.

I agree with Aard, and the issue's the same when it comes to other matters irrelevant to the office, like race. The story is certainly proof, not that any was needed, that aetheists can be as blinkered and stupidly fundamentalists as any other true believers. So what?

Who told you religion cannot be an issue anyway, or citizenship†? Isn't this billboard story an example of how it still is for some fools? Surely it isn't for you.

†I'm assuming you mean something below my radar and not the 'birther thing', which is a Constitutional matter of where a person was born, in order to meet the qualifications for the Presidency. It goes without saying that a non-citizen cannot be President, but the Constitution states that only citizenship by birth is good enough. Amend the Contitution or swallow it.
