Leopoldo United States says:

Why I should vote for a man who thinks he is going to be a god just like Jesus. A man who believes that Satan was correct when he has told Eve she could be good like God if she would ate from the tree. You guys are taking us for granted, I dont think we will ever get back from the edge of the precipice. So why should I let a Republican push us off the edge. Name calling will not make us vote for him.

Nate United States says:

Why would you judge a political candidate based off his personal Christian beliefs? You're comment is attacking a religion and not the politician. People did the same thing when JFK ran for president because he was Catholic rather than Protestant. Let's be mature about the situation and assess the different candidates for their ability to successfully lead a nation. Assaulting a religion doesn't get us anywhere.
