Related: About this forumAshley Judd - Religious Beliefs Mocked By KY Senator's Staff

BY TMZ STAFF
Ashley Judd's view of God is a joke ... laughable ... this according to Sen. Mitch McConnell's staff which was caught on tape mocking Judd's views on God during a February strategy session.
The discussion took place during a "Know Your Enemy" meeting ... in which Team McConnell discusses the ammo they'd have against Judd in case she runs for McConnell's seat. McConnell's voice can be heard during parts of the recording.
At one point, someone plays a recording of Judd describing her religious beliefs:
"I still choose the God of my understanding as the God of my childhood. I have to expand my God concept from time to time, and you know particularly I enjoy native faith practices, and have a very nature-based God concept. I'd like to think I'm like St. Francis in that way. Brother Donkey, Sister Bird."

They shouldn't open a door they'll want to close very quickly.

The nastiest part is going after Judd for suffering from depression. Is there anything too low for you, senator?
