To be fair, Christine O'Donnell more than likely does NOT believe in those things, and so what even if she did? I didn't see a religious prerequisite for becoming a Senator. Nor an intelligence prerequisite. I don't live in DE, but if I did, my vote would not be going to O'Donnell...but not because of something she did when she was young.
But I do not really know if Christians do believe that the earth is only a few thousand years old. Maybe humans have only been around for a few thousand years, but the Earth has been around for much longer.
I don't want to vote for any candidate who promotes any religion.
All religions suck from time to time and promote innocent people being murdered including Christians. Christians cheered when bombs were dropped on the innocence women and children in Iraq
Remember Saudi Arabia was behind 9-11, not Iraq. Religious people alike are way to eager to kill people.
As for O'Donnell, she a whole bag of crazy. Just a nut who is confused and susceptible to all kinds of weirdness.
I need to find out the scoop on O'Donnell. I am not from DE, so I do not know much about the person... Yet.
However, it does SEEM likely right now that since Sarah and Glenn and the Tea party Express endorsed her, then there must be some kind of clarification that is available.
Assuming O'Donnell is a Christian, and I think she is. Before a person receives Jesus into their life and heart as their personal savior, they are not a Christian. Other people have had much darker pasts then her. If she in fact received Jesus after that time and repented from her sins, and turned from the darkness.. Then there will be little problem.
What a person does before redemption is forgiven in the eyes of God.
