Governor Mike Huckabee explains it all:
Why non-believers don’t have integrity or character (from today’s Times):
“If integrity and character are divorced from God, they don’t make sense,” he writes in his book, with John Perry, “Character Makes a Difference” (B&H Publishing Group, 2007). “Integrity, left to define itself, becomes evil because everyone ends up choosing his own standards.”
“Charming and Aloof, Huckabee Changed State,” by Adam Nossiter and David Barstow
I’m so relieved. Now we can all go back to being amoral. And, in a nod to Dickens, Huckabee thinks conditions at Guantanamo are too cushy:
”The inmates there were getting a whole lot better treatment than my prisoners in Arkansas. In fact, we left saying, ‘I hope our guys don’t see this. They’ll all want to be transferred to Guantanamo. If anything, it’s too nice.”

Well, I always knew I was going to hell, but then, the most interesting people are going to be there, not in Mike Hucksterbee’s heaven.
