This guy is co-sponsoring legislation that demands the 10 commandments be placed on public display in the House of Representatives and in the Senate, but when asked to name them he has no clue what they even are.

He barely named three of them. 

More religious hypocrisy from the right, but what else is new.  Really its kinda sad how dumb religious voters are, this guy's main platform is being mr. christianity, but he has no clue.  Like more religious people, he just abuses his religion for personal gain.

Real American:
I definitely support his legislation.

That is deeply disturbing, however when I say this I should put it in the context of things domestically here, its seperate in so far as its not related to politicians but a mass swathe of people in England, don't actually know what the Magna Carta was and have no idea how it relates to the british constitution. Ironically I find myself quoting a young tony blair from 22 years ago before he became psychotic. "People in this country are being lost in a prison of ignorance"

Sikotic™:
LMAO! That's horrible. Whether you're for the bill or against it, that doesn't matter. What matters is we have an incompetent man in office who is backing something that he isn't even familiar with. You know he isn't the only one: Democratic or Republican.

That's because your both cut from the same mold.  You are the classic christian conservative.  To the christian conservative talking about religion is what counts, following the ideology doesn't matter.  In fact, like most typical christian conservatives you don't even have a good understanding of christian ideology.

If you actually studied christian teachings you'd learn Jesus has a lot more in common with liberal hippies than he ever would with you.  Your worldview and christian ideology just aren't compatible, but most of the christian right is to ignorant to bother studying their own religion.
