Rick Santorum appearing on controversial minister Bradlee Dean's radio program on Saturday urged gay marriage foes not to give up.

Santorum, who later in the day spoke at the Iowa Faith and Freedom Coalition, suggested that proponents of gay marriage have a wider agenda than just its legalization.

“This is not about gay marriage, it is about changing what is right and wrong and fundamentally changing what people of faith can say and do in society,” Santorum said. “The ultimate objective here is to drive faith out of the public square, to drive morality out of the laws of this country, to secularize our society with a different set of values.”

“For us to say they are wining and we should quit, I can't accept that. They are not winning, first of all. ... There's been 32 votes in the country and has lost every single time.”

1. HIS religion thinks Divorce, and contraception, is evil too

Apparently, Sanctimonium thinks politicians should legistate their religion. Can we look forward to a ban on divorce and birth control if he is elected?

2. Morality doesn't belong in our laws

“The ultimate objective here is to drive faith out of the public square, to drive morality out of the laws of this country, to secularize our society with a different set of values.”

Nobody's driving faith out of the public square. We just want it out of our laws as it has no place there.

Morality cannot be legislated as it has such wildly varying definitions. RRRWers think it's all about what you do with your genitals and your reproductive organs. Some of us think otherwise.

Finally, there's nothing wrong with secular society. It's been shown that secular societies fare better than highly religious ones.
