Marco Rubio is Still an Idiot

Marco Rubio should never have been elected to any public office, let alone his current attempt at the Presidency:
Well, one of those candidates, Rubio, recently professed his belief that the United States is governed by “God’s rules,” not the Constitution: “We are clearly called, in the Bible, to adhere to our civil authorities, but that conflicts with also a requirement to adhere to God’s rules. When those two come in conflict, God’s rules always win. In essence, if we are ever ordered by a government authority to personally violate and sin, violate God’s law and sin, if we’re ordered to stop preaching the gospel, if we’re ordered to perform a same-sex marriage as someone presiding over it, we are called to ignore that. We cannot abide by that because government is compelling us to sin.” In other words, he believes that any Constitutional right given to Americans that he thinks goes against “God’s rule” should be ignored – because “God’s rule” supersedes Constitutional law.
I won't blame Rubio for some lunatic shooting up the Planned Parenthood, at least not directly, but when these kind of freaks hear talk like this, they react. This is lunatic talk, and not the kind of talk that a President should be spewing. We are a civil country, and civil law trumps religious law here. If you want religious law, there are other countries in the world with that, but we have no state religion. With no singular religion here, how would we even govern under Rubio's rhetoric? Which religion's laws would we use? Beyond all that, this is just crazy talk, the kind that incite people to think they can violate the law of the land. Rubio is no less nutty than the Trumps and Carsons, but possibly less intellectually capable.
