It's fascinating to watch the GOP candidates try and walk back from Christanism. But they're in too deep. Since the Rove strategy, the GOP has appealed on explicitly religious grounds to Biblical literalists. In fact, they sometimes defend public policy - like opposition to civil marriage for gay couples - on Biblical grounds. If they have cited Genesis, it's fair to ask if they literally believe in it. They all dodged it. That branch they're sitting on the end of. It's getting wobbly, isn't it? Now ask them about the Rapture.
