Well I guess I am the fool. The post in question did not come from here but from Pandemonium: http://pandemonium.phpwebhosting.com...=8;t=2483;st=0 . To quote:

"Personally I would rather have a president who did believe in God and had moral convictions to having an atheist who had none. Believing that there is no higher power than yourself is a rather dangerous thing for a leader to have."

And,

"because by definition an Athiest sets him self up as the final arbiter of right and wrong. Without the concept of a "higher power" someone or thing you may be answerable to/for you set up an environment just ready for megalomania. Im not saying all athiests are, I am jsut saying I don't trust anyone who doesnt think that there is any power greater than his own."

I apologize to Magik for implied accusations of what he said here, which are untrue and to everyone else for causing such a stir.

Perhaps this thread should be removed.

I also publicly apologize to MagiK for a PM I sent asking if he deleted any posts here. I was wrong.
