Re: [asa] Creationist wins in Florida

My take is he is entitled to his religious beliefs and as long as he doesn't make a crusade out of creationism then he may very well be a good mayor. Nobody rules out atheists or Mormons, etc from public service due to their beliefs. And the article doesn't give any details about his creationist beliefs. The press could just as well slander any of us as being creationists if we affirm that we believe God created the earth and us.

That said however, it is somewhat dissapointing that those that represent Christ can't figure this out and takes steps to avoid this type or caricature in the press.
