[Just Trust Ian On This One]
Anywho, these gay-hating folks think that Abe Lincoln would want you to vote Christian:
Okay, let's take it for granted that the Family Research Council is a bunch of jerktards. Let's also examine the fact that Tony Perkins, the president of the FRC and the super-facty historian in the video above... has ties to former Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke! Plus is rumored to be getting a divorce! This guy is waaaaay values-oriented.
Least important, perhaps (cuz who really cares what a dead guy would urge us to do in today's politics) is what Lincoln actually thought:
Lincoln: "The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma." Lincoln: "My earlier views of the unsoundness of the Christian scheme of salvation and the human origin of the scriptures have become clearer and stronger with advancing years, and I see no reason for thinking I shall ever change them."
I love this guy! Tony Perkins is my fave COMEDIAN OF THE WEEK! Cuz he has to be joking... right?
"...and uses its language throughout the entire speech." What language is that exactly? Hebrew? Greek? King James-era English?
