I think the context here is the notion that the Bible is inspired by a single, central devine intellect and the degree that politicians pander to that notion. This has nothing to do with the literary or historical value of it…

It’d be strange for any educated person, much less a politician to ever call a historical document bullshit. Now, for them to claim that many of the interpretations of that historical document are bullshit, would be great. In fact, I say that kind of thing all the time. But this is similar to calling Herodotus bullshit. It’s history. In fact, the extant manuscript evidence for literature contained in the Bible vastly outweighs that for any other work of ancient history, not to mention religion.

Tess, good point. I meant it more from the follow on implications of which of them believe in creationism.

Yeah, fat chance…

interestingly, I viewed that Obama clip portion. I suppose those on the left are quick to judge the likes of a Huckabee when he makes such statements but are willing to give Obama a pass. Not me, it should be condmened. I’m not interested in Huckabee’s nor Obama’s version of a “Kingdom on Earth.”
