NASCAR is notorious for being a bad speller, or dyslexic, or a bad typist or maybe all three, and everyone should be used to it by now.

Never called a woman a c.

Back to the topic at hand, Newt carries a lot of personal baggage, but I agree with a lot of what he's saying - more so than any of the other GOP candidates. However, saying what people want to hear is not a good enough reason to support someone - especially when they've proven themself to be morally bankrupt. Also, Newt can be a waffler on a lot of isssues. I think he's very intelligent but lacking common sense in many areas. Right now, I'm not seeing any of the GOP pretenders to be viable, electable candidates.

You call this a typo?
"Aren't most of they the tax cots from the Bush Presidency? "
or this
As Riot would GFY. I'm I have a better retirement than you ever have.

And if you want to discuss hypocrite

America designated as a Christian nation

I'm not defending NASCAR or his comments.

Where, pray tell, did I write that I was backing Newt? You really have some serious reading comprehension problems.

I'm no "religious zealot" - haven't attended a mass in decades.

Jeez - you are a fly **** out of pepper picker. I believe this nation was founded based on Christian principles which DID NOT include intolerance of other religions.

And, you're nothing but a forum mugger who just can't bring himself to tolerate anyone who doesn't see world order as you do. Instead you resort to name calling when someone has the temerity to disagree with you. Where's your tolerance?! As a comeback artist, don't quit your day job.

Approximately 80% of the USA population is Christian.

Wow. Is that really true?

80%?

That's horrible, but I guess it probably is true. It is amazing how many gullible people there are in this country (and in the world).

The same applies to you and Riot.

From Religious Tolerance . org

http://www.religioustolerance.org/us_rel1.htm

Two reasonably reliable sources are listed below:

In 1997, the US Society and Values magazine published an overview of religion in the U.S., using data from the Pluralism Project at Harvard University. They reported:

63% of Americans (163 million) state that they are actively affiliated with a faith group:

Roman Catholicism is the largest single religious group (60 million; 23%).

Anglicans, Eastern Orthodox and Protestant churches total 94 million members (36%) within 220 denominations.

There are 3.8 million religiously active Jews (1.5%) ; an additional 2 million regard themselves as cultural or ethnic Jews.

Estimates of Muslims vary greatly. Some surveys show that there are about 3.5 to 3.8 million Muslims (1.4 to 1.5%) in the U.S. Most Muslim sources estimate about six or seven million.

There are over 300,000 congregations.
There are over 530,000 priests, ministers, pastors, etc.

Islam is numerically the fastest growing organized religion in the U.S., in terms of numbers of adherents.

The most rapidly growing religious/spiritual/ethics grouping in the US is not an organized religion; it consists of non-believers (Atheists, Agnostics, etc.).

----------
During 2001-FEB to APR, the Graduate Center of the City University of New York conducted an American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS). It was a massive poll, questioning 50,281 American adults about their religious affiliations during 2001-FEB to APR.

They obtained some results that are noticeably different from the Pluralism Project's data. The differences are mainly because they asked their poll subjects what religion they considered themselves to be, rather than what religion they were actually affiliated with. Results included:

76.5% of American adults are Christian (52% Protestant; 24.5% Catholic).

14.1% do not follow any organized religion; they are Agnostics, Atheists, Humanists, Secularists, or have no religious affiliation.

1.3% are Jewish.
0.5% are Muslim, followers of Islam.
0.5% are Buddhist.
0.4% are Hindu.
0.3% are Unitarian Universalist.
0.1% are Neopagan (Druids, Pagans, Wiccans, etc)

There are many more small religions, each of whom are followed by fewer than 0.1% of American adults.
