re: Carson: "Chances Are ‘Reasonably Good’ That I’ll Be Running For President"

If you choose to believe something spiritually that is factually not true I question your ability to understand the world around you.

Why do you make assumptions about who I hate?

I really don't know much about Ben Carson, but I don't think highly of creationists. But I don't hate them. I truly love some of them.

Why do all of you progressives hate successful black people so much?

Why do conservatives hate black people, Latinos, gays, lesbians, transgendered, Jews, Asians, women? IOW why do you hate anyone not you?

I don't know what you consider a "church source", but Episcopalians do not believe that the theory of evolution conflicts with the Christian faith. You can believe in a creator and still accept evolution as fact. The Bible does not state that the earth is 6k years old. Even if it did, Episcopalians do not believe in a literal interpretation of the Bible. This really isn't the place for this discussion, but I read this board frequently and I get the impression no one has heard of the Episcopal church. It's so sad that all Christians are lumped together with fundamentalist Chistians.

I agree with you that many of the more liberal Christian churches and denominations are uncomfortable with some of the literal things like Jonah and the whale and young earth, etc.

But at some point you still have to decide which miracles are poppycock and which ones are real... If Jonah being ferried around the Medditeranean in a GPS-possessed whale and spat up in Ninevah is ridiuclous, than is Jesus turning 5 fish and 7 loaves into a meal for thousands of people also ridiculous? If so, than is the resurrection ridiculous? The Rapture? Is communion really the body and blood? Is the Bible really written by God himself?

Once you start down that slope it's tough to navigate IMO. "Oh well this story is reasonable, but Jonah - that's a bit much." "Noah's ark is likely somewhat true, but Christ's resurrection is definitely true."

Blah. It's likely all myth - especially when you see the similarities between other ancient and current religions.

Worked for Obama! I'm more interested in his ability to lead and persuade adversaries than anything. Those skills can come from many sources. Sales, project management, running an private practice are just a few ways to gather those skills

He seems like a great asset for a cabinet post. He needs more time to build up his resume, THEN he'll be a real contender.

I completely disagree. The career bureaucrat is part of the problem of government scope creep and corruption (see IRS) -- more-of-the-same seems like a turrible plan for a government intent on increasing its over-reach.

Btw these are all questions which will be asked of "Dr." Ben Carson at the first debate by Candy Eater.

If Ben Carsons was the republican nominee, no Democrat would have a chance he excites the religious base and he would siphon off the black vote from traditional highs without a doubt.

Doubt it. He'll be labeled all sorts of things by the liberal media. They will make him toxic.

It doesn't matter what he's labeled as, blacks stick together. Blacks will be more than proud ti vote for a distinguished black candidate after this Obama presidency is over, which has been a disaster.

You think black people will vote for a black man because he's black?

They.. .THEY... THEY

How is the Senate about to become Republican and how is the House Republican with THEY making Republicans toxic?
