David Brody writes:

The part of Huckabee's answer that probably resonated with Evangelicals is when he said, "There are parts of it I don't fully comprehend and understand, because the Bible is a revelation of an infinite God, and no finite person is ever going to fully understand it. If they do, their god is too small". Folks, that's called speaking the language of Evangelicals because that's exactly what many of them think and feel. It was spot on and at the same time a nod to moderates to say "Hey, we Christians don't have everything figured out either!"

Except the Bible tells them that no one should have a right to an abortion under any circumstances, and gay couples should be stripped of all legal protections for their relationships. And neither is literally taken from the Bible.
