Huckabee: Leaders Should Have "Biblical Worldview"
posted by: Robin Marty
The further we go into election season, the more I start to wonder if the entire country has given up on that old "separation of church and state" idea. I'm not just asking because presidential candidates now make it part of their standard campaign stops to visit churches and religious schools. But now, potential Republican nominee Mike Huckabee is suggesting that one criteria for being president is to have a "biblical worldview."
Via Think Progress:
Right Wing Watch’s Kyle Mantyla catches potential presidential candidate Mike Huckabee saying that he wishes the world was ruled by "people with a biblical worldview" who could bring "equality" to the world. Huckabee made the comments during an appearance at Statesville Christian School in North Carolina yesterday:
He said that the kind of "biblical worldview" taught at SCS was in the direction of unmitigated equality. "I'd love the world to be lead by people who have a biblical worldview," he said.
"Wouldn't it be an exciting thing to have leaders who believe all of us are equal?" he later asked ...
Huckabee said Sunday that he has been asked many times if it is difficult to be a Christian and a politician/elected official.
"I always answer that actually it's a lot easier to be a Christian," he said. "I wake up every day knowing what I believe."
I'm not entirely sure which definition of "equal" Huckabee is using in his "biblical worldview," though. The bible I've read doesn't seem to think there's a lot of room for equality for gays. Or women. Or other religions. Or many other races.
