To be fair, at least he said hed try to stop the, you know, Armageddon. Thats something. But think about it: Ben Carson believes he can stop the End Times. He can prevent the end of the world and the second coming of Christ. He said this. Ben Carson thinks hes more powerful than God.
The very fact that he seriously believes its just around the corner should be a gigantic red flag to anyone with a brain in their head and that includes deeply religious people who happen to understand that the book of Revelations was metaphor and coded language penned by proto-Christians in hiding from persecution.
By the way, its worth noting that quite a few Republicans also happen to be Christian Dominionists who believe the End Times will begin in the Middle East, specifically Israel. The last thing we need is a president who dabbles in such horseshit.

That kind of explains why he quit medicine suddenly and started his religious crusade to establish theocracy, which is basically what his candidacy means. I always wondered what happened to the man and now it's beginning to look like a psychotic break. Really.

The Isane Religion demographic is unfortunately large enough in backwoods America that you know someone is going to pander to it....that it would be a neurosurgeon versus a Harvard Law fighting over these children tells me how vile they both are.

Speaks volumes.
