My point wasn't necessarily to calm anyone down, but to look at his motive. It makes little difference to me, at least, that Sharpton is bigoted for its own sake or for partisan political reasons.
I am not a religious person (Baptized a Catholic and have struggled my whole life to even wonder how we could possibly understand the nature of God) but this whole thing angers me to no end.
Mitt Romney has lived his life as a MODEL CHRISTIAN on this earth. That is all people on THIS EARTH need be concerned with.
The disposition of his soul should be left to God, not the likes of Al Sharpton or any other mortal.
Even if you actually buy his explanation about when he said "we people who believe in God", he was actually comparing himself to the athiest he was debating, and not to Romney. It actually makes sense in the context of the debate.
However, that only takes one of the points away that Justin wrote earlier, and it still smacks of egoistic, snobbish politics, at best.
There is a PBS documentary that starts tonight about the Spanish Inquisition.
I wonder if Sharpton will claim Rudy Giuliani isn't a real believer in God, because God wouldn't have priest kill people in his name. No... probably not. Bigotry is only ok for certain religions.
