You ARE anti-American to the extent that you think certain religions are not fit to run for office because of those religious beliefs.

Fail time RF. So you think a radical muslim is fit to run for office?

I know you use a nuanced argument against that - but you’re wrong. Our Constitution does not specify freedom of religion except for.....

Study it a little before making such foolish statements. The religion test ONLY applies to laws banning a candidate based only on religion. That does not apply to the citizenry in general who can use what ever standard they see fit. For you to say otherwise to denigrate that FREEDOM is antiamerican.

It doesn’t matter what you think or I think. If they meet the Constitutional criteria to run for office, they can, under the Constitution. You do understand that, don’t you?

“The religion test ONLY applies to laws banning a candidate based only on religion.”

And that’s what your crew is saying on this very thread.

“That does not apply to the citizenry in general who can use what ever standard they see fit.”

Who objected to this? Certainly not me.

“For you to say otherwise to denigrate that FREEDOM is antiamerican.”

I didn’t say that. It’s your team that says that Mormons - simply for the act of being mormon should not be running for office. You’ve found the problem, and it’s your friends.

Fail, indeed.
