Prayer-Pushing Huckabee: If Kids Don't Bring A Bible To School They'll Bring A Gun

Mike Huckabee recently spoke at the annual conference of a pentecostal televangelist involved in the so-called prosperity theology movement. Huckabee, himself an ordained Southern Baptist minister, had no trouble relating to the large audience, sharing his folkish stories about what life was like when he was a boy – and lamenting how the U.S. Constitution is now actually being observed in America.

“Because we were bringing Bibles to school people weren’t bringing guns to school, except for the deer hunters who left them in their trucks,” Huckabee told the audience at the 2015 Morris Cerullo World Conference.

"What has happened to our culture?" Huckabee asked. "What’s happened is we have lost our landmarks. When we reject the Bible as the objective word of truth, when we say that the Bible is no longer the standard by which we live and we make it whatever we feel, what we think, what we believe, then we have no landmark at all because that landmark is always being moved to accommodate our lifestyle rather than make our lifestyle accommodate the word of the living God and the power of the Holy Spirit."

Right Wing Watch notes that "in 2012, Huckabee reacted to the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting by blaming those who 'systematically removed God from our schools,' turning schools into 'a place of carnage' and 'violence.'"

1. WTF is right.....he is as nucking futz as Palin is....

[shenmue]

2. What an idiot

No establishment of religion means no establishment of religion, Governor Dumbass.

[Shrike47]

3. Gee, when I grew up kids brought neither Bibles nor guns to school.

It's not like you have to choose one or the other.

10. The Gideons handed out Bibles at my elementary school once

New Testaments, with Psalms and Proverbs. That was back in 1969.

[think]

4. Book sales must really be slumping.....

[Codeine]

5. I just brought the Dungeon Master's Guide.

I must've been doing it wrong.

[TBF]

6. Because those are the only 2 options -

they couldn't bring - say - BOOKS or anything like that.

Such a fucking tool.

[Politicalboi]

7. Can't kids have the bible on their phones or iPads?

So kids really do have the ability of bringing the bible to school everyday. But yet, they still bring guns.

[MFrohike]

8. Why does he hate freedom?

Why is he opposed to children exercising their 2nd amendment rights by bringing guns to school?

[Dont call me Shirley]

9. But kids can hollow out a bible, put a gun in it, then take it to school and fool everyone

[LiberalElite]

11. I can't keep up with these clowns - "people weren’t bringing guns to school"

He says that like it's a good thing! I thought guns were good! The more guns the better! Guns in government buildings! Guns in stores! Guns in restaurants! Flaunt 'em if you got 'em!

[Major Nikon]

12. He has a good point. It's not like people are shooting up churches.

[hifiguy]

13. Is Huckleberry in some sort of competition with

Princess Sparklemoose and that Carson character to say who can say the largest number of completely imbecilic things in the shortest period of time"?

Nobody brought bibles or guns to school in my day and I'm in my mid-50s.

[Warren DeMontague]

18. Palin will win.

There's no contest, there. She's like the Michael Jordan of saying stupid shit.

[Initech]

23. Huckabee and Palin have the same mentality as the Taliban or Isis.

And that's pray or die. And that's some seriously scary shit. Of course the difference between our batshit insane fundamentalists and theirs is that ours, thankfully, don't believe enough in the violent rhetoric they spew on a daily basis to act on it. If they did...

[jeff47]

14. I realize this is a complex concept for people like him, but children have TWO hands. (nt)

[kelliekat44]

15. Only if you how laws allowing them to bring guns to schools. nt

[Skittles]

16. the truly sane ones would bring neither

what a sanctimonious asshole

[Warren DeMontague]

17. Yeah, right.

There's serious overlap between the gun people and the bible people. Who is he kidding.

[Initech]

21. Seriously one could do a ven diagram...

"Gun nuts" and "Bible thumpers" and get "Tea party". A

[Initech]

19. Pray or die is the vibe I'm getting from the Huckster.

And that's not a good one. Plus he might want to read up on that thing we have called the "First Amendment" which clearly states that this sort of thing can't happen in public schools.

[REP]

20. Damn straight! I went to school locked and loaded because no bible

Oh wait. Despite being brought up in a very secular household where the bible was a book of some decent poetry, I never went to school armed, although sometimes I did have a very small paring knife when I had pears in my lunch.

22. I thought they were issued together...

soon to be in every motel in amurca - Gideon's Glock

[krispos42]

24. He means... "When the GOVERNMENT doesn't mandate Christianity and Bible studies in school…"

"…and other areas of government authority."

Nothing is keeping individual children from using the Bible as an "objective word of truth", except that the Bible fails at being a basis for science and knowledge of the physical world.

Remember, the "objective word of truth" says that pi=3 exactly (II Chronicles 4:2).
