When they use those beliefs to try and influence our politics, then we absolutely have a right to judge.

Agreed. If we let believers go unchallenged in their beliefs, then we give tacit approval of them.

I think he has done some very good work also. I agree. He just holds to the delusional belief system called Christianity.

As a secular non-religious American, I want to personally apologize to the other developed world for too many of our citizens who think like Ben Carson. I know it must seem strange to you just how religious people are in this country and the crazy things they believe, but you can't make this stuff up people. Hopefully Christianity will go by the wayside in the next 50 years in the U.S. otherwise stupid stuff like this will keep happening. Ben Carson may be a respected neurosurgeon, but when it comes to religion, he is a certified nutjob.

Ben Carson Endorses Donald Trump After Receiving A Sign From God
Apparently the wrong sign. And, seriously, who calls this an endorsement? It's like, look, even if he stinks as president, it's only four years. Lol.

"Even if Donald Trump turns out not to be such a great president, which I don't think is the case, I think he's going to surround himself with really good people,†Carson said. “But even if he didn't, we're only looking at four years as opposed to multiple generations and perhaps the loss of the American dream forever."

may you wish you had saved as many lives as he did.

our country was founded as a christian nation, and will remain a christian nation as long as most of us are breathing. You just haven't reconciled both sides of your brain, because you are still in the "know it all" stage of your life.

why do you even care what anybody else thinks about Christianity?

how many people (besides yourself) actually care what the rest of the "developed world" thinks?
Wrong, this nation was founded on Judeo-Christian VALUES, not as a Christian nation. That is the entire reason for the First Amendment!!

I agree. I sometimes wake up in the middle of the night with with some creative ideas or I solve a problem, etc. I can believe he studied or was tutored in his sleep because that was what was on his mind when he went to bed.

Is there still any Republican out there who doesn't think that Ben Carson is just trolling conservatives to make money post-retirement at the expense of conservative beliefs?

Not sure if that was a typo, but I laughed. Right wing or white wing.

Both work.
