Huckabee's claim that religious believers are more moral than unbeleivers rests on nothing more than his ignorance. Studies have shown that atheists have lower rates of criminality and higher rates of educational, scientific and professional attainment than religious people, and the least religious countries are the most just, generous and peaceful. One should never mistake anything Huckster says for the truth; it's ironic that his son, who tormented a dog to death and tried to smuggle a loaded pistol onto airliner is a potent refutation of his imbecilic hypothesis. One could look to the likes of Haggard, Vitter, Craig, Allen and thousands of Catholic priests for further disconfirmation.

The arrogance to assume that he and his are somehow more moral than the common man or proletariat if you prefer, considering the track record of the family values crowd, is mind boggling, you are correct.

David,

Any reasonable person realizes that Huckabee is pointing out that the perverted practice of homosexuality has no place being accepted in any community.

I tend to agree.

It's perversion...pure, simple. And somehow...some way...our society has allowed this perverted behavior to be accepted in society.

God help us!

Well, I can imagine having sex with Laura Bush could be like necrophilia. Maybe Huckleberry thinks W is immoral.

Whats so strange, all politicians think like that; it's just that joe public cant bring themselves to believe it.

If I believed that necrophilia was "institutionally supported" I'd probably vote for Huckabee too.

DC,

"He considers homosexuality aberrant, but that's at one end of the spectrum. Necrophilia is at the other end"

I wonder where hookers, diapers, wide stance, and sex with teenagers land on his "morality" scale?

So much Christian spirit, can you feel the love.

The huckster is against sex with dead people but he doesn't mind if he gets the votes of dead people.

David, you need to get out more, at night, if you dare. There is an underground, where things go on that decent people would not embrace. The "undead" are into this necrophilia practice. The "undead" are sometimes referred to as the "Devil's people."

To The Count: WTF?

Oh good grief, here we go again, with yet another Republican candidate backpeddling on prior outrageous statements, apologizing yet not truly moderating the thought process that caused the bigoted and extreme comments intially. This "new Christianity" is what's aberrant. There is little difference between those who pervert Islam and the Koran to suit their distorted agenda and those who have twisted the Bible and Christian ideals to suit theirs. How about a little "live and let live" and "Love Thy Neighbor"? Get a grip folks, we have far greater problems in this world than who is having sex with who!

To Al-Ozarka:

And the ignorant shall truly inherit the earth, won't they, my brother?

To Al-Ozarka;

I refuse to believe in an omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent god who is so caught up in where and in what my penis is. Why does he mind? If homosexuality is a perversion, than so is non-procreative sex.

Any reasonable person knows that walking around with your head up your ass is a perversion, but you seem to have no difficulty with that one.

Hey Al-Ozarka,

It must be hard being a biggot. Maybe its a reaction-formation. I think you should look into it...
