What does Herman Cain mean by "any legitimate religion"?

[RandySF]

For those watching the tea bagger forum.

1. Yes, I saw that, and good question... :(

But at least he's better informed than Michele Bachmann. I turned on CNN, hoping to find some news, and she was the first thing I saw... :crazy: :banghead:

2. Not watching, but sounds inflammatory to me,

"'religions' I think are OK, I've heard of, I've known people with."

[ixion]

3. I imagine he means institutionalized religion

[pinboy3niner]

5. No, he means everybody but Muslims

He's a specialist in Islamophobia. Google his statements about Muslims for a real eye-opener.

4. I would guess Judeo-Christian

Its in the Constitution!


(mocking those assholes, of course)

6. Herman Cain is a "National" Baptist.

That means any Conservative Christian religion. Catholics need not apply.
And as for the rest of them, they don't believe in the real God, which is Jesus, so they can go to Hell.

7. Everyone except the 1.5 billion Muslims, I would assume. n/t

8. I'm sure Pagans would fall under the non-legitimate religion umbrella as well

10. Yes, I'm sure you're correct.

But Pagans aren't NEARLY as scary as Muslims, we all know that. :evilgrin:

11. Buddhists would probably be non-legitimate as well

9. HIS brand of Christianity

he might be nice and include other denominations... but you asked. And it is that ugly.

12. Comments overlook fact that ALL of his religious hatred is directed against MUSLIMS

This is what he is known for:
