The Godless Americans Political Action Committee has endorsed John Kerry for president - not a surprise, since it's long been obvious that President Bush doesn't have much respect for religious liberty generally and atheists in particular. Unfortunately, some might use this endorsement against Kerry.

According to GAMPAC:

Ellen Johnson, Executive Director of the Godless Americans Political Action Committee, said that the Kerry-Edwards slate was “the clear choice over President Bush, who has spent the last four years eroding the separation of church and state, ‘packing the courts’ with judges who ignore the First Amendment, and imposing a de-facto Religion Tax through the federal faith-based initiative.” ... Johnson said that the Kerry-Edwards slate was “the best alternative to four more years of George Bush and Pat Robertson running the country.”

Reverend Austin Miles comments in MichNews:

This endorsement of Kerry, by those who do not believe in God, and want to outlaw all references to God in public places, re-define marriage, make homosexuality the norm, advance a culture of vulgarity and kill all babies of inconvenience, [should not] come as a surprise.

It might be fair to say that Austin Miles officially has a “problem” with the truth. Why? This is the “Reverend” (I use quotes because I can’t quite figure out what there is to “revere” about such a person) who lost a USD $1 million libel suit filed against him by Michael Newdow. Losing the libel suit means that he lied about an atheist in order to make him sound worse, right? Well, that looks like what he is doing here again.

Neither atheists generally nor GAMPAC specifically advocates outlawing “all references to God in public places,” they just advocate preventing the government from endorsing or promoting any particular god beliefs. There’s a big difference between the two. I wonder if GAMPAC could win another libel suit against Miles?

Before this latest endorsement, it was widely reported that the Muslims also (both in America and overseas), have stated their support of Kerry as well, according to media reports. Since Muslims have made it clear that they plan to destroy America by any means and turn it into an Islamic nation, it could mean that [with] Kerry as the President of The United States, he would open the doors for them to carry out their mission.

It is true that some Muslims have advocated what he describes, but his unqualified phrasing makes it sound like all Muslims advocate this. That’s obviously false. Does this mean that Rev. Austin Miles has a very, very big “problem” with the truth? Well, I wouldn’t buy a used car from him, that’s for sure.
