Question 13 states "Will you vote to amend the Constitution to specifically affirm that we are a nation under God, that God is welcome in all that we do, but no man can be forced to participate in worship at any time or in any way?"
If you want to be a candidate, you have 2 choices: if you say "Yes", you'll probably join the majority of the others, and there'll be no problem. However, if you say "No", it's quite possible that other pro-religious candidates will attack you for it, taking advantage of the general discrimination against atheists and other non-believers. That isn't fair; no group of any type should be unfairly labeled and attacked just because of their perfectly rational beliefs. Will you delete the question or alter it so it doesn't encourage this unfair stereotyping? Let's all discuss this. |
