OK this is showing some ridiculous double standards I've always suspected. The fact that even conservatives are listing #5 is proof of that. If I had included "is a Catholic" or "is a Mormon" I'm sure it wouldn't be anywhere near that number, which kind of kills the excuse that it's just because they believe that person would have to be socially conservative (which as I prove, is not true.)
Maybe.  But to me, charismatics are more full of sh**t about their religion than your average Mormon or Catholic.  It's the speaking in tongues.  You seriously want us to believe you're not consciously mumbling random sounds and that it's the spirit of the Lord coming through you?   Please, sounds ridiculous to me.

I've got no problem with stripclubs, but the kind of guy who would go into that business (of all businesses) skeeves me out.  If that makes me a prude, so be it.

A woman strip club owner I'd have no issue with and it even wouldn't be a deal breaker if it was a dude, but it would certainly make me less likely to support him, which was the question.
