Turn it around--would it be a nightmare to have a President who is a non-believer constantly having to deal with other nationalities who are believers--or as an American having to deal with other nationalities?
May sound like a silly question, but how would Carson's belief in the pyramids as graineries theory debilitate his ability to be POTUS? Did it hurt his ability as a neurosurgeon? How did past President's who were believers, even those considered "great," manage the task without creating nightmares because of their belief?
Why did you consider a bigot someone who would not support a Muslim being President? Why would a believer such as a Muslim who believes not only in a supernatural being, and needs, what you belittle, that little book to tell him how to live, and who believes in a governing system that is in total contradiction to your belief in what a government is allowed to do--why would such a believer not be a nightmare? You prefer that to one who would follow the Constitution, which would not let his peculiar beliefs about pyramids or any other thing to affect his duties as President? Are you a bigot?
There have been effective Presidents, even great ones, who have had strange ideosyncracies.
Would you refuse his services as a neurosurgeon in an emergency because of what he believes about pyramids?
