Santorum: Our law is bad because it doesn't conform with religion and shariah is bad because...

[ck4829]

It makes sure the law and religion are one in the same.

Really.

"Jesus said "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's" and that huge piece of wisdom has really set the course for western civilization where you have civil laws and have civil penalties - we exact justice in a civil fashion - and then we have higher laws, we have God's law. Now our civil laws are supposed to comport with God's laws but sometimes they don't, and so it is always the obligation of those, for example, the issue of abortion - the civil law does not comport with God's law, in my opinion and I think the opinion of many people in this country and it is our obligation to continue to try and change that law. We have to live under the civil law, we have to obey that law because it is the civil law but we need to continue to try to change it to make sure that these laws, the laws our country, comport.

In the Islamic world, that is not the case. Mohammad did not say "render unto Caesar what is Caesar's and unto God what is God's" because the civil law in Islam and the sacred law are one in the same. Shariah is both a civil code and a religious code."

He's a twisted little fucker.

2. K&R- Santorum is bad because his brain is dead and his mind is evil....

At least he is not my senator any more...but Pat Toomey is!

5. I guess the only good thing about Toomey is that he doesn't

constantly remind us what an idiot he is.:-(

[old mark]

9. He has been pretty quiet, but that in itself might be bad...we don't know what he is doing!...nt

7. In Other Words, Sir: 'Santorum To Imams: "You Lucky Ducks!"'

What this passage really is is a heartfelt complaint the condition he feels obtains in Islam does not also mark Christendom. For he is quite explicit on the duty of believers to ensure the civil law does indeed match religious law, and so despite his lip service to the idea of separate civil and religious codes, he is in fact wholly opposed to there being any but religious law.

8. Why---This makes perfect sense to me!

I don't know what's more frightening. The stuff Santorum says or the fact that there are people who think that it sounds good?

10. I wonder how this is going to end? Religious code keepers VS Corp. code keepers.

12. Two words: "Prosperity gospel"

Enormous investments in breeding VERY small camels and engineering VERY large needles.

14. That, Sir, Is Something People Need To Be More Aware Of

It predominates on religous broadcasting, and is foul as Satan's breath....

17. Reverend Ike!

The power of positive prayer. He used to be on late night TV on Saturdays. He was rich because God wanted him to be and if you prayed right, you would get rich too.

[The Magistrate]

18. This Is Different, Sir. This Is 'Send Me Money, Even Your Last Dime, And God Will Make You Rich!'

Prayer, even belief in the saving efficacy of Christ on the Cross arisen from the grave, has nothing to do with it: the whole act of worship consist of giving money to the preacher, and when you do, God will send you even more money....

[Frustratedlady]

11. Which religion are we going to follow? Do we get to vote?

He's such an idiot. He would be further ahead if he just shut his mouth.

[no_hypocrisy]

13. Amazing. Santorum manages to advocate for the violation of BOTH

the Establishment Clause AND the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment.

But then again, that's what you have to do when you're trying to change a democracy into a theocracy.

15. Rick Santorum watching over us....

16. Ricky better be careful what he wishes for.

It never quite turns out the way one might think.

21. IDIOT of the 3rd Level...

22. Our civil laws dont derive from the bible

Common law stems from Heathens! (Saxons)

The more refined Constitutional laws stem from the French Enlightenment

to put it simply
