Religion to the rescue? Santorum says forcing students to read the Bible will save America

Religious Right star Rick Santorum seems to think that repeating a lie often enough will make it true, but his insistence that children are not allowed to read the Bible in public schools still has no basis in reality.

Can hardly wait until Frothy SAINTorum decides to live up to his 'family values' ideals and stays home with his.

1. Forcing them to read a religious book

Sounds like Sharia Law to me.

2. Look what it did for Rick.

3. Which version frothy? There are hundreds if not thousands in English alone

So which version should they read? Pick one

4. Rick the Prick made his kid cry when she was forced to read the Bible.

Kidding...that child probably will never have a single independant thought until she flees Daddy Dearest.


I was forced to read the Bible every day and I turned out fine!

9. LOL! All four of them look damaged.

11. I feel very sorry for the children of that man.

I bet he is a tyrant behind closed doors. His wife has the Mommy Dearest hairdo and look imo.

5. Rick Santorum, apparently still alive in a Holiday Inn somewhere . ..

Still Frothin' it up out in Real America (tm).

6. I actually REALLY don't think the fundies can afford a theologically-literate populace,

unless they can get A Beka to get a total monopoly on course materials and teachers, of course!

you can't say "like, I'm one of the ORIGINAL Christians" if you know about the whole slew of -isms created by leaders of tiny, tiny cults

plus, y'know, they're gonna read Isaiah

[SamKnause]

7. Santorum is a religious fanatic.

Religious fanatics lie.

Santorum is a Republican.

Republicans only when elections when they lie and cheat.

8. It might actually help

Since few things are more conducive to atheism than a thorough reading and understanding of the Bible, and since atheists on the aggregate are among the most reliable Dem voters and most consistently pro-equality blocs, this might hypothetically have some decent results. However ends and means are not the same thing, and this is just a tad unconstitutional.

10. I grew up fundy. By the time I was 18 I'd read the Bible 3x through

and was an atheist.

Be careful what you wish for Santorum.

12. Um isn't forcing religion on someone the exact opposite of freedom?

He's forgetting that little fact there. I want to live in the land of the free, not the land of the religiously insane.
