Mike Huckabee continues to show that behind the affable facade he tries to project, he is really a religious extremist who has no regard for the rights of others to NOT agree with his religious views. In an interview with Beliefnet.com, a religion Web site, Huckabee has purportedly (but to me unconvincingly) clarified his view that the Constitution should be amended to be brought in line with God's will. He also he directly equated homosexuality with bestiality. I continue to find the man very dangerous to religious freedom. Here's the quote on homosexuality:
QUESTIONER: Is it your goal to bring the Constitution into strict conformity with the Bible? Some people would consider that a kind of dangerous undertaking, particularly given the variety of biblical interpretations.
HUCKABEE: Well, I don’t think that’s a radical view to say we’re going to affirm marriage. I think the radical view is to say that we’re going to change the definition of marriage so that it can mean two men, two women, a man and three women, a man and a child, a man and animal. Again, once we change the definition, the door is open to change it again. I think the radical position is to make a change in what’s been historic.
Here is some additional reponse from Huckabee on amending the Constitution:
the point I was trying to make– and I’ve said it better in the past – is that people sometimes say we shouldn’t have a human life amendment or a marriage amendment because the Constitution is far too sacred to change, and my point is, the Constitution was created as a document that could be changed. That’s the genius of it. The Bible, however, was not created to be amended and altered with each passing culture. . . . The Bible was not written to be amended. The Constitution was.
