What horrible things has Byrne done that is sufficient to horrify Alabamans? did he commit murder? did he steal money? did he rape little boys like priests have done? nope, he did this: "Byrne supported teaching evolution....said the Bible was only partially true". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJG-7s1e5eM&feature=player_embedded
Which is more ridiculous, that or Church Gun Bill Shot Down In Louisiana House They actually voted on whether to allow people "to carry concealed weapons to their places of worship." The red states make Pakistan and Iraq look like reasonable places to live.
ok, so one might think that this guy might put a little defense of science if he believes in evolution. not in redneck alabama. he decided to outgod the other guy. here is what he said today: I believe the Bible is the Word of God and that every single word of it is true. From the earliest parts of this campaign, a paraphrased and incomplete parsing of my words have been knowingly used to insinuate that I believe something different than that. My faith is at the center of my life and my belief in Jesus Christ as my personal savior and Lord guides my every action. ⢠As a Christian and as a public servant, I have never wavered in my belief that this world and everything in it is a masterpiece created by the hands of God. As a member of the Alabama Board of Education, the record clearly shows that I fought to ensure the teaching of "'creationism"' in our school text books. Those who attack me have distorted, twisted and misrepresented my comments and are spewing utter lies to the people of this state.
