Oh, Lord! The Politics and GodTube… Gimme a Break!

- Separation between state and church compulsory, methinks

By: Vlad Constandes, SEO News Editor

If you always thought that religion is one of those areas where everybody finds inner peace in his/her own way, having a personal connection to whatever God he/she is praying to, you must not be a fan of Mike Huckabee.

Thus, he turned to GodTube.

In a preaching manner, he endorsed it and made it sound like the YouTube
copy is actually God’s gift on earth, the one candle lighting the way for politics, the angel of light coming down to flap its wings a couple of times around voters in order to sway them to his side. The video sharing site welcomed his words on the front page : "Well, the reason GodTube is an important part of the election process is because this myth that Christians ought to keep to themselves in the church, and never get outside – that's like saying, let's never let the salt get onto things that are spoiling.
