So we need to be asking Republicans a bunch of questions about the bible then?

As if the Koran is the only book with crazy things in it.

You might as well ask questions Rand ---- Seeing as how you never seem to want to answer any —

“‘Do you believe literally that a woman should be stoned to death for adultery?’ ‘Do you believe that when someone steals something, their hands should be cut off?’”

Rand, you might also want to ask such questions, and many more, of Christian and Jewish candidates as well. The Old Testament and Torah are full of guidance on such things. But watch out for what is called for if you eat lobster or pork.

Not only does Rand need to be interrogated about all of the conduct and punishment sanctioned in the Bible, but he must further be examined on every idiotic, mean-hearted statement made by Ayn Rand.

“These are important questions to ask if you have someone who is Muslim running for office. ‘Do you think violence is OK?’ ‘Do you think Shariah law should be the law of the land?’ ‘Do you think that the 9/11 bombings were OK?’” Paul said.

Thoughtful. Cerebral. Deeeep. Muslim bad. Episcopalian good. Next Question…

Would a Muslim presidential candidate be willing to accept Rand Paul’s support?

“But I do think there would be some questions to ask,” he added. “‘Do you believe literally that a woman should be stoned to death for adultery?’”

You’re confusing Muslim candidates with Mike Huckabee.

“But I do think there would be some questions to ask,” he added. "‘Do you believe literally that a woman should be stoned to death for adultery?’

Christians can one-up that one.

Leviticus 20:10
And the man that committeth adultery with another man’s wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.

Hey Rand, you going with god or Ayn on this one?:

Leviticus 19:23
And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.

Hey Rand, is porn okay in school libraries or assigned school reading? Just wondering.

Ezekiel 23:20
There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

Yes, but more people take the crazy things in the Koran seriously than take the crazy things in the Bible seriously.

So, here’s the next question: if the bible is the literal word of god and an instruction manual for our lives, is it Satan that makes people say that some of god’s rules and acts in the bible are crazy?

Yeah, Rind… It was pinheads like you who had “questions” about Jack becoming President in 1960, too.
53 years hasn’t changed the face of bigotry, except in your case to make it look all the more witless…

Unreal. These guys have foot in mouth disease! Doesn’t he realize that all 15 Republicans are Christians? So we should ask the exact same questions to every Christian candidate right? It is only fair…or do Christians get their usual special treatment? And all those candidates that do believe in the literal truth of the Bible? How do we know they won’t enforce every monstrous thing in the Bible? Or, for that matter, every good thing in the Bible?

Ben Carson: Hey, I just dug this hole and now I can’t get out. Want to get in and help me dig deeper?
Rand Paul: You betcha!
Trump: Hey, don’t leave me out. I’ll dig that hole deeper than either of you. It will be huuuuuuuge!
