“I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it’s a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that’s what we need to do — is to amend the Constitution so it’s in God’s standards rather than try to change God’s standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family.”
Mike Huckabee, on the failures of the Constitution. Because the Constitution should be God's Word. Because what we really want ruling our society, and the myriad religions and cultures and ethnicities and beliefs that make up our society, is Biblical law. Because we should offer to sacrifice our daughters in order to placate angry hordes, reinstate slavery and polygamy, execute any and all adulterers, and so on and so forth.
Willie Geist of MSNBC explained (pre-Michigan) that if the average American made such inane comments about the Constitution, "he’d be dismissed as a crackpot, but he’s Mike Huckabee and he’s basically the front-runner.”
The incomparable Steve Benen's take on this? "Maybe, but I’m still pretty comfortable calling Huckabee a crackpot anyway."
For more Bible fun, take a look at The Brick Testament, my new go-to site for all things holy. Well, that and The Skeptic's Annotated Bible.
