I think a bisexual Christian student asked the question. The Townhall was for students like her so Anderson had no choice but to entertain that question and for Mayor Pete to answer them.

because you're an idiot?

This should not even be a controversial take, it is well established in both American political AND religious thought: "The tendency to claim God as an ally for our partisan value and ends is the source of all religious fanaticism." Reinhold Niebuhr

"Power always thinks.... it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws." John Adams

Finally, it's worth remembering that in the book of 1st Samuel, God rejected King Saul, in part, because the King presumed to act as both King and Priest.

He talks about God too much.

He was asked about God so ... #townhallformat
