Luke: I love Ben Carson, and would vote for him over any Democrat. I don’t agree that Carson is disqualified by his Adventism, but I do love the discussion about that! I love a good religious fight. I agree with Ben Carson that no Muslim should be elected president in the US. I agree with Carson that if European Jews had guns, there would not have been a Holocaust. I agree with Carson about almost everything except immigration (I want less, he wants more). Ben Carson is a beautiful man. The more America gets to know him, the better. What a great face for Adventism and for America and for blacks. I love it that Carson and Trump bring up things you’re not supposed to talk about publicly.
