Ted Cruz: An Atheist 'Isn't Fit To Be' President

[thereisnospoon]

Not only that, but a president should begin every day with prayer.

Presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) said Friday that he believes anyone who wants to be president must fear God and pray daily.

Speaking at the National Religious Liberties Conference in Iowa, Cruz joined other GOP presidential candidates for a discussion about the persecution of Christians in the U.S. and around the world. After some very extreme, very weird comments about homosexuality, right-wing pastor Kevin Swanson introduced Cruz to the stage to ask him how important it was for candidates to submit to Jesus Christ as "the king of the President of the United States."

"Any president who doesn't begin every day on his knees isn't fit to be commander-in-chief of this country," responded Cruz.

Cruz didn't say who "any president" should pray to. After all, there are thousands of so-called Gods. I look forward to the day when an honorable Atheist does become president. Religion does not predate morality.

OMG Cruz has an opinion that differs from yours!

Tell me, how has the government treated your people over the years?

Lakhota peyote smoker needs a "safe space" free from other points of view.

Guess he hasn't read our Constitution...

He's a Constitutional authority. He even won a case before the Supreme Court. He's trying to court the religious right just like Hillary courted the gay and lesbian community.

If that's true then he looks like a damn fool...

How so? Because you say so?

Because he's ignoring the Constitution, and the underlying ideology of this nation - no religious test to hold office. He knows better, and should say so.

Considering the "morals" of most "Christians", and atheist would be a change for the better.

In looking at Ted Cruz's policies, he does not appear very Christian
