  • Santorum- the idea that promoting gay rights will take away the faith of the nation...What reason do we have to believe faith is good for a country? Developed countries with less faith have lower poverty rates, higher literacy rates and better life expectancy rates,

  • Bigot.

  • So his only response was that there isn't proof that gay marriage is fine? What about the evidence he has that it is detrimental to society? If he has some, does he think it comes from unbias sources? Why do the students have to defend their evidence while Santorum merely has to stand there and talk more angrily than they do? And yes Sir, it doesn't matter that your bigotry comes from the bible. It is still bigotry.

  • Santorum is right.! We hate gays! Put them to jail. Kill the fags!

  • Santorum is a freakin bigot. Period.

  • rick,put down the bible and figure out how to lower gas prices.

  • i love rick santorrum

  • What a humongous faggot.

  • Time out Time out Time out. Time in: the American Psychological System...

  • Patronising bastard with his constant interruptions & his 'Time out,time out'.Clearly he doesn't wish to hear anything other than what he wants to hear.His proclamation that there is 2000 years of scripture to bolster his argument is weak.How about 2000 years of brain-washing & interpretation to suit the needs of those who refuse to believe that different doesn't necessarily mean bad.Having someonelike him in Congress,or worse,the White House is a retrograde step.

  • @popazz1 Santorum has his head so far up his ass I'm surprised it's not disrupting the functionality of his organs. Every argument is the same- he goes right to his religious pedestal, like everyone should carry a piss bucket for him. He treats every issue as if this entire country is Catholic. If you're the president of a country that is "free" religiously, in speech, business, etc, you can't run it just based on your religion. This tool is like a walking violation of the constitution.

  • @Wishfuldrinking99 ,

    I hear what you're saying.I admit,as a Brit',I'm not fully knowlegeable of the US Constitution but as you say one person surely cannot expect,or demand,a whole nation live solely by the beliefs of one religion.He talks of catholicism,one of the most corrupt hypocritical religions out there.But regardless of the specifics he'd risk alienating all other religions,if we followed his dictat.Keep ALL religions out of politics.

  • @popazz1 Agreed. As an American, I'm embarrassed by the politicians that somehow end up in office. I wish Santorum would open a book that would shed some light onto the hypocrisy of catholicism, which has been a crooked religion since its inception. Everything this tool says is absolutely ludicrous. The most annoying part about him is that he just reverts back to catholicism to excuse himself. He's racist and homophobic, but just says he's a "good catholic". What an asshole.

  • @Wishfuldrinking99 ,

    Ah,but THAT'S the crux of the issue.We vote these assholes into office,(it goes the same way in the UK),and then they spend their whole term embarrassing us.In Parliament there is a kind of upper-house,the House of Lords which includes a contingent of Bishops.So when I talk about keeping church & State separate it's just wishful thinking on my part.Plus we have the added problem of having a monarch who is 'Defender of THE Faith',ie.she is 'Supreme

  • @popazz1 ,continued,

    Governer of The Church of England'.We're in a no-win situation here in the UK,lol.

  • Jesus, if he becomes the GOP nominee, Obama will win in a landslide. The majority of Americans could give a fuck about contraception, churches, or religious issues. They're worried about the economy, jobs, and oil prices. This fool needs to get smacked.

  • I wonder if he thinks Hitler shouldn't be called a bigot.

  • The problem is that people like Santorum have their right to believe what they want to but....this is the United States of America and we have a Constitution that is the "Supreme Law of the Land" and Santorum doesn't want to follow or respect it. He has every right to be morally against gay marriage, interracial dating, contraception or anything else but he doesn't however have the right for other law abiding American citizens to do what they want under the law. Bottom line.

  • I don't think he realizes that his argument about the organizations could be used against him, in respect to his views that agree with the catholic church. "You're a part of this organization because you agree with what it believes." The same could be said(and is said) about people who are a part of the Catholic Church organization. not all of my comment is here, I tried to quote but thru an unfortunate set of circumstances I lost all of the text. Listen to his argument to see what i mean.

  • Church and state remain seperate....its in the constitution so stop bringing up religion when it comes to political issues.

  • Dear Americans who voted for Santorum:

    You people are nothing but the dumbest trash of this world.

    Go fuck yourself, or is even that too gay for you?

  • Studies have concluded that kids raised by same sex parrents are even more well ajusted on average because they are raised by parrents who both had the intent to raise a child.

  • @shootnmove

    Thus, to make a law (banning gay marriage) on the notion that it is wrong in the Catholic church, is making a law based off of religion, and the separation of church and state is clear and written !

    Sorry Mr. Santorum, but maybe you'd be better making laws in Rome where you can throw around religion as a tool for law making. But not here in america.

    THE LAND OF THE FREE !

  • To ban homosexuals from gay marriage is not only inherently wrong, it is unconstitutional.

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech.....

    Politicians contributing their own money to their own own campaigns is considered freedom of speech, shouldnt marriage be also conisdered freedom of speech.

  • santorum can go fall down a hole

  • I mean he can have his own opinions but whn he starts trying to RUN a country w/this mindset tht 'the bible says it so it's wrong' and when he denies proof tht he knws is there THEN we hve a problem.

  • FUCK RICK, KEEP RELIGION OUT OF POLITICS.

    RON PAUL 2K12

  • wth, the catholic church has over 3000 cases of men raping young boys! hes a lil worm!!

  • I'm taking all the intelligent people and we're going to find a remote chain of islands to populate.

  • @TheNewNumberUnoAeris In the Caribbean I hope.

  • Rick could never beat Obama...

    Soooo he should crawl in hole

  • Santorum is so butthurt about being called a bigot...

  • Yes Rick, you are a bigot. The only difference here is that you are allowed to be a bigot because of your faith. And that's where our problem is. Once you learn that it's not your place to judge others, and once your "kind of people" understand it, the world will be a gentler place immediately.

  • Santorm is the sort of person who, I believe, would have supported banning persons of different races from marrying, as the popular interpretations of the Bible at the time supported that belief.

  • I'm liberal and pro-LGBT so stop misreading my comment you imbeciles!

  • Was he playings with his balls while talkin' heee heee

  • The ELCA Lutheran Church in America is a Protestant Christian Church which welcomes all people, as Jesus did. Equal rights for all people IS a Good Christian Value!

  • ... the privacy of the people in such a radical way!

  • Having read certain points of his agenda just make me gasp. If I would met him, I would have one question for him.

    Who do you think you are, that you seem to see it as your mission to influence ....

  • @AMarcinP I'm really sorry, I did make a mistake there. The Bible says not to eat shellfish, have any contact with a woman during her period, or wear cotton/polyester blends. The sun thing is from something else. Sorry for the confusion.

  • "Organizations disagree with me, so I must disregard them because I'm the real expert."

  • So much anti-christian hate here.

  • this guy is a fucking nut.

  • time-out

    

  • No, you're an idiot because you believe what the bible teaches, you're a bigot for trying to impose it in government.

  • Comment removed

  • Santorum is right, there is nothing good about homosexuality.

  • Yeah Rick, you're a biggot.

    You say you are not because you think you are simply following the bible?

    That;s like saying terrorists are not murderers because they are following what they believe to be in the Koran.

  • Comment removed

  • Are you a bigot if you believe what a bigot tells you?.....

  • I'm not an advocate of Santorum, but kudos to him!

  • So I can't say, for example, that for 2000 years of the Christian religion was bigoted because it believed women should be subservient to men and were responsible for causing all sin and being inferior because they were made from man?

  • wow.....................

  • I would also like to say that I am a catholic and believe that gay marriage is wrong, and that if it is legal, the government cannot force a priest, pastor, minister, or any other religious person to perform a marriage. Therefore any gay marriage would not be recognized by most churches, only by the states.

  • Regardless of what the bible teaches, it has no effect on whether or not it should be legal or illegal in the united states. The united states preaches separation of church and state, this means that religious beliefs should not interfere with lawmaking, governing, etc. The united states were founded on the belief of freedom to do, say, feel, believe whatever you wanted. There is no reason other than religious beliefs to deny gays from being married, so there is no reason for it to be illegal.

  • Chistianities are the profound of child molesters of the world.

  • SANTORUM 2012

  • "It will destroy faith." If your faith depends on the actions of others, then you have a weak faith and need to be worrying about yourself, not them.

  • Christianity is made up of people who agree with the church but you can bet your ass that I won't wake up early on Sundays. America; where the rights are made up and the constitution doesn't matter.

  • @UrTalkingToKory It is not made up. Christianity is based on one main belief: Jesus Christ died on the cross to forgive us of our sins and to give us eternal life.

    I give Him thanks for this, because I don't deserve to go to heaven. Without Jesus, I am just a sinner like everyone else. But with Him, I can conquer all sins. I give Him the credit for helping me be a better person morally.

  • @NATEG01

    There are way too many plot holes in Christianity for it to be taken seriously. Have you ever used critical thinking on the topic of religion? I'm not going to waste my time listing key points in the bible that are obviously incorrect (although I could do it all night, believe me),

    You can believe whatever you want, but the first amendment of the U.S constitution says "Congress shall make no law with respect to any religious establishment"

    I know my rights. This isn't a theocracy.

  • @UrTalkingToKory If you can list the key points in the Bible that are incorrect, then why don't you do that?

  • @NATEG01 "It is not made up" yes it is , seriously your not convincing anyone! go away

  • Comment removed

  • @roxas12590 I apologize if I have offended you. I watched your video, and you seem like a nice person and you have a lovely voice. It makes me sad how you are so far from the truth.

    Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Jesus Christ our Lord." I am being selfish if I don't share God's gift with you. If I could take my own life to make you believe, then I would.

  • @NATEG01 "I apologize" DON'T APOLOGIZE TO ME , apologize to the millions of loving couples who thanks to people like you must live there lives as second class citizens. try helping to fix it!

  • @roxas12590 I don't believe in discriminating against people, for God created all of us to be equal. Did you not see my stance on gay marriage?

  • @NATEG01 "how you are so far from the truth." there you go again with baseless assertions with no evidence. ignorance does nothing to further progress. all you do is hinder it

  • @roxas12590 What do you have to lose by accepting Christ into your life?

  • @NATEG01 your dignity TOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

  • Comment removed

  • @NATEG01 true free will

  • @NATEG01 i was once also an indoctrinated christian, but i broke the bonds that religions place upon the human mind, and let me tell you, there is a whole world out there that actually makes sense. without being biased by god, i have been able to pursue knowledge in all fields unrestricted and unbiased. and ive become a more tolerant human being and accepting of human nature, which homosexuality is included in. an alternative aspect in human nature.

  • @NATEG01 Credibility as an intellectual sound person who doesn't blindly follow the teaching of ignorant goat herders of millenniums past.

  • I forget the saying; something like "the right for you to swing your fist ends where my nose begins." If you're not gay, don't get married. FUCK YOU, Rick Santorum.

  • this idiot,.the bible also says stone your kids if they don't obey you,..why isn't he doin it? Also, the bible endorses slavery why isn't saying people should have slaves? he's just a bigot point blank period!

  • @Atheist603 Exodus 21:16 - "Anyone who kidnaps a man, sells him, trades him, or possesses him will be put to death."

    Ephesians 6:4 - "Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."

  • "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ".Ephesians 6:5

    "If anyone comes to me without hating his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, and even his own life, he can not be my disciple". Luke 14:26 All who curse their father or mother must be put to death. They are guilty of a capital offense. Leviticus 20:9

    and you think this is a good book? hahaha wow

  • @Atheist603 You must understand that slavery weas voluntary back in ancient times. Poor people would become slaves to get shelter and food in exchange for labor.

    Luke 14:26 isn't leteral. It's implynig that you have to put Jesus as your #1 priority if you want to follow him.

    Leviticus 20:9 is the Isrealite's law, which we no longer have to follow. Hebrews 8:13-By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

  • rick satan...... this is NOT a chistian country

  • @eny1103 It is NOT a Christian government, but it IS a Christian country with the largest percentage of church-goers in the world.

  • @lecagot2 you know what you are right, this is a christia country, its like europe 300 years ago and peopl take the bible literally..how sad i thought americans where better than this

  • @lecagot2 "but it IS a Christian country " majority opinion holds no weight on the constitution, simply because the majority wants it doesn't make it right. that's what the constitution is for, to protect freedom even when it's unpopular. and the treaty of tripoly signed by Jefferson and ratified by congress states the united states is by no means a christian nation. try again

  • Rick Santorum for Pope2012

    One of the finest minds of the 13th century.

  • funny thing is anyone who thinks he is a bigot is a bigot. you want to be gay and want someone to respect you and then you are the bigot......please gays.....go get some counceling. have you ever noticed with the gay movement the last 5 years we have to accept opinions and cover-ups. today you have to be a psychologist to know about it. people go to school and get a degree and dont know shit. most of them read a book as they still go along.

  • This man is truly a bad person. He is evil. Fuck you santorum.

  • seriously...fuck you Rick Santorum

  • Comment removed

  • "we dont give bigots preferential tax treatment" he is saying he doesn't want to be classified as a bigot because he wants preferential tax treatment. DAFUQ? equal taxes anyone?

  • that girl got ballz!!..wait what??!!! I mean...umm...she has courage.

  • i can't believe this guy is a front runner. jesus christ people vote for ron paul

  • Santorum: "I am not a nugget".... screw you Santorum.. You corrupt piece of object that comes out of a rotten dead horses ass.... Ron Paul2012.

  • Santorum 1. The frothy mix of lube and fecal matter that is sometimes the byproduct of anal sex.

  • Comment removed

  • 2,000 years of Christian sheepish-slave bigotry supports Santorum, 10,000 years of Pagan living and hunter-gatherer lifestyle before support an oppeness to gray areas and alchemy in life, including inter-gendering and the homosexual act.

  • @MushroomedAnymore Not true. Most pagan religions frowned on homosexuality.

  • @lecagot2 Meditteranean Paganism did not. Perhaps the exception is the pre-Henotheist Jews who, if they are who they claim to be and lived where they claimed to live, were the exception. North German religion, according to Bulfinch frowned on the Homosexual Act; however the dispute really lies in scholarly journals and I have yet to resubscribe to Jstor. Peace.

  • @MushroomedAnymore In 1967 the Supreme Court ruled the state of Virginia could no longer keep persons of different races from marrying; it was a felony for a white person to marry non-whites. This is an example of the "miscegenation" laws which were common in the United States through the mid-20th century. These laws were inspired, passed and defended on authority of then-popular interpretations of the Bible. Gay people are real human beings too, and deserve equal rights.

  • @YosupMofo I am gay so you completely misunderstand my comment. I'm liberal too, so read carefully. I hate Santorum.

  • @MushroomedAnymore My comment was simply one of making an observation; certainly not to undermine you in any way. I could tell where you were coming from, and agree whole-heartedly.

  • Religious freedom is the protected rights of both organized superstition and its devout followers to force their bronze age morals, rules and laws upon all of society for their selfish desires, prejudices and the countless personal interpretations of what they believe their god would demand of them if he existed.

  • Aww.. are the poor Christian bigots being persecuted? I think I'm going to cry

  • @10001dev How is he being bigoted? I happen to love heavy metal music. Let's say you hate heavy metal. Would that mean you're a bigot? This is an attempt at trying to make the gay agenda (and that's exactly what it is) look like the civil rights struggle of the 1960's. Homosexuality is a moral issue not a civil one.

  • sounds bout right bigot

  • on that thinking then the Catholic church is a group of people who believe 1 thing but doesnt mean its evidence. thank you for making the point for us you Bigoted ass

  • Even if he says he is not a biggot, he is still not going to be elected for president

  • Piece of shit.

  • kNIGHTS OF MALTA AND THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS NOT CHRISTIAN,IVE STUDIED THE KNIGHTS OF MALTA AND IT IS SATANICCCCCCCCC!!! BUDDY, READ THE OATH IT TALKES VOLUMES OF HATE!!!!! IT SPEAKS AGAINST CALVINST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHICH IS THE TRUE CHRISTIANITY!! SO JUST SAYING SANTORUM , NOT WELCOME IN CALIFORNIA!!!!

  • @reformedbro1 Are you serious, the Catholic Church is the one true church made my Jesus Christ himself. Catholicism can be traced back to the first pope which was Peter... Protestant churches were made from people who couldn't follow Catholic rules, don't take down the Catholic faith because you disagree with a Catholic. Honestly, it is very immoral to be gay, and if you want society to not continue then go be gay you faggot. Oh and fuck California its an embarrassment to the US.

  • @MrBradenc IT is not the true church of JESUS CHRIST, praying to the virgin mary, praying to saints,the apocrypha,is all Heresy and goes against Sola scriptura!! the catholic church is mentioned in the bible as the great harlot whore,of the anti christ!! ayes and gay homosexulality,is forbidden and is a abomination in the eye of the LORD JESUS!!so learn somthing ,the true church is the Protestant, LUTHER broke away from the papacy,becuase the heresies!! you do not now anything!! LOL

  • @MrBradenc before you open up your mouth mister no nothing at all my father is a ex knight, it is satanic, which struck me to study it!! it is a scotish rite off shoot of freemasonry,and the catholic the catholic chruch worships dagon ,and the sun!!! hahah your uneducated!! Peter was not the first pope idiot!!! the bible says no one comes to the father accept through the son JESUS, not the vigin !!!

  • well on that logic mr santorum the church is filled with people that believe the church.

  • Hey Rick the Dark Ages called and they want their ideas back.

  • So he's saying that the American Psychological Association is biased? That they only collect data and do surveys on matters they want answered? That the end result and topic at hand is arbitrary? Come on... everyone knows you're making that shit up. They have evidence and results and he's still denying them? See that's the problem... say tomorrow, scientists have hard evidence to disprove the existence of god, every religious person is still going to be in denial and call it heresy.

  • @drumgroovy The APA, the NASA, the National Research Council, the American chemical society, the American institute of physics, the American physical society, American Geophysical Union, American Institute of Biological Sciences, etc. etc. are all liberally biased according to Santorum. They're just expressing their opinion on things like evolution, climate science, sociology, psychology, science is what happens when you fold your hand in a church.

  • @TheSngcoach Yeah exactly. Those institutions aren't there for advancements and discovery, they're just there because of people with opinions who want to reinforce their views... according to Rick. How flawed is that view? How is he even a politician?!

  • Go ahead and quit, Santorum.

    You're getting your ass handed to you by a college student, after all.

  • Santorum. The word alone says it all.

    

  • Let's not run from a religious debate. Let's attack the institution of religion head on..not the people the institution, you know the inquisition, the child raping bishops, the Salem witch trails,

  • If you eat GMO's(every vegetable at the store) then your going to hell just like homosexuals. Just a few verses before it calls gays an abomination it calls "mixing" seeds an abomination also. 

  • ▼Whats with all the fundie scum?▼

  • You can tell the woman is miserable because she wont let him make his argument. Wake up lady making decisions based on feelings does not work.

  • @valstar1000 Like decisions based on the feelings you get from a 2000+ YO book & not actual studies?

  • A lot of psycologists also just want money and end up ruining lives.

  • @valstar1000 "A lot of psychologists just want money and end up ruining lives." Churches just want money, they end up ruining lives (sex with little boys anyone?) and they don/t have to pay taxes on it.

  • @bwelc00 All churches target little boys to have sex with. Right? They don't send out teams of missionaries to aid the hungry and dying in third-world countries or help build hospitals and homes as well? Sure the scandals make the front-pages for the media-drones to feed on and make stereotypes, but the great things people do never make the news. This applies to everything, not just Christians/churches.

  • @MrXtheManimal You know that sending out those people to aid the hungry is indoctrination right? In some countries in Africa, homosexuality is punishable by DEATH. That's what those missionaries brought with them... bigotry and discrimination. Kinda ironic, coming from Africa.

  • @drumgroovy Please provide actual proof that the missionaries themselves put such policies in place.

  • @MrXtheManimal Search 'spreading the gospel' in google and you'll get plenty of evidence, mate.

    Oh yeah, so little space to type! WTF?!

  • @MrXtheManimal My mistake... search 'spreading the gospel in Africa'.

  • @MrXtheManimal Oh by the way, I'm not saying the missionaries put those policies in place, I'm talking about indoctrination to a point where they'd follow the book to a tee.

  • @drumgroovy I understand. Btw ty for not being rude lol. Yes people do take "the book" and interpret it different ways. I wish this wasn't so.but the act of one should not define the rest.

  • @MrXtheManimal I normally am not rude. People just make me rude. I'd rather have a discussion than an argument, especially when it comes to topics like these.

  • @drumgroovy I can tell you that policies have been changed because a government official witnessed miracles being done in the name of God thus changing their hearts completely.

  • @drumgroovy Also, is it just me or does Youtube give you less and less space to type when you reply to comments? lol

  • @MrXtheManimal Alot of psychologists save people's lives and turn them around. The good works that churches do come with a dark side that is as bad as anything anyone ever does short of murder, and sometimes ranks right up there with it. They want you to believe impossible nonsense, they tell you you will burn for all eternity if you don't (and they say this to little kids as soon as they can understand it). And on top of all that, they expect people to shut up and not question

  • @MrXtheManimal anything they say if it comes out of the big book of fairy tales. That's the "moral ecology of America." This fucking low-life scumbag says that scientific studies are matters of opinion, and talking snakes, virgin births, and world wide floods where an old man puts two of everything in earth into a boat to survive are facts. Religions for the most part are dangerous, because of idiots like Santorum and the anti-intelluctual climate they create.

  • That student wouldn't shut up and let him talk. I support that he has a right to his view, even though I disagree with it.

  • @iluv2viddyfilms I listen to both sides of talk radio and both sides won't let the other side talk about their view. I hate it.

  • Keep it up Rick.....you are guaranteeing a Democrat win.

  • Holy shit if this guys becomes the president of the US I am out of here.

  • Thumbs up if you don't want this douche bag to usher in a religious theocracy in the US.

  • hmmmm..... Isn't religion just a group of people that agree with you?

  • @bdog10123 Nope. Catholics do not agree with Lutherans. Muslims do not agree with Jews. Catholics and Lutherans do not agree with Muslims and Jews. etc

  • Comment removed

  • Why isn't anyone cheering this student on?

  • He discredits the American Psychological Association's work due to the fact that it does not satisfy his personal (not to mention, absurd) belief. Classic.

  • @londoncalling93 Why do you call it absurd when same sex marriage is not based on anything more than a perversion of what marriage is for.

  • @valstar1000 What is marriage for? Is it not a legal union between adults recognized by government? I think hes implying he adheres to the values of the absurd belief of an imaginary friend.

  • "An organization supporting a position is not evidence that it benefits society."

    An organization such as a church supporting a position such as being against homosexuality is not evidence that such a position benefits society. Stop contradicting yourself, santorum.

  • I despise this man. People who rely on a 2000 year old book for evidence shouldn't be allowed to use the "It's just an opinion!" argument. What a fool.

  • It's like he can't even hear himself. Belonging to a group with similar ideas is " proof that a group of people agree with you. That's all it's proof of." Bu of course that logic doesn't apply to him. Of course HIS group has say so. But no-one else.

  • wow he packs them in! BIGOT!

  • "Now, what, 2000 years of moral theology, is now 'bigoted'!"

    In my head, Tim Minchin: "I don't go in for ancient wisdom. I don't believe just 'cos ideas are tenacious it means they're worthy."

  • Hahaha! Santorum is a fucking idiot! "Time out...Time out!..." He just didn't know what the fuck to say! HAHAHA!

  • WTH is sohard to get about this nextsentence.THE BIBLE DOES NOT/NOR SHOULD IT EVER BE INVOLVED IN THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT! That's one of the biggest reasons we declared independence from England.HELLO

  • was this you; if so congrats

  • He got his ass handed to him just there. If he can't hold his own in a debate with a lay person, how does he expect to beat Obama?

    4 more years, baby!
