What do you think, will an atheist or a homsexual will get elected president of the USA first.
The way it looks now probably a homosexual, but it is difficult to forecast. Any of the two possibilities is probably not going to happen in the very nearby future, so who knows how society will evolve in the mean time. Perhaps the acceptance of atheism will catch up with the greater acceptance of homosexuals that is taking place now, in a few years or even decades. I think we will see a straight theist woman (a mormon straight theist woman?) before we see an atheist or a homosexual in the Presidency.

Well the homosexual ofcourse. It seems that as of right now the new thing is to be pro gay. That would be fine if it were not a fad. The last thing on the list of prejudices to get rid of is the prejudice against atheism. I have seen the list and that is a fact. The conservaturds will begrudge every single thing on the list. Just look at slavery, we are still fighting that one in some shape and form and that's been fought for over 100 years in this nation. Yes the very last thing that conservaturds will give in to is freedom of thought which is atheism. "Can't let the freethinkers have their way or the coprs will lose all control."
A gay atheist woman.. of Muslim descent born to a Chinese black mother and a Russian Hispanic white dad adopted out to native Americans living in Alabama... (I just made that up)
In chronological order:
A hispanic Christian man
A homosexual Christian man
A Jewish man
An atheist man
A housecat
A woman

I would suspect we've already had both.
President Housecat will be remembered in history as the most nuke happy president ever.

Because us American value catching mice over women unless she can catch mice. :lol:
What a burn Mermaid. Come on both the Hispanic christian man and a woman have a decent chance. If a Mormon can have a reasonable chance of making it, almost anyone should be able to. Anybody who can convince themselves that Joe smith found hidden gold plates, translated the writing, but can not show anybody else the actual plates and expects to be taken seriously. Well, face it, as a species we have a lot of evolving yet to do.

I'm going to buck the trend here and say there'll be an armed revolution in the USA before that happens.

But before that APA will be elected President!

GRUMPY CAT 2016! Oh wait, is Boener running? No, sorry Boener is Tan Granny's husband.
Well we do have a couple of Muslims and an atheist in congress.

I do not agree. The country that we are with the culture that we have is not ready for a female leader. As gross and stupid as it seems, I don't think we will evolve to that point for a long time.
I was pleasantly surprised when a non-white man was elected, so I hope I am wrong about this, but I do not think I am.
Think about the way Hillary Clinton, who is basically politically identical to Obama, is perceived by the public.
Also think about how Sarah Palin is perceived by the public.

I'm with you on that, Mermaid. If any woman had a chance it might have been Hillary. No Hillary? No dice.
Nope........... it will be not-my-lifetime I think.

This list lacks a few key details. Let me fix that.
A light skinned, very openly Christian hispanic man
A very Christian homosexual man who does not have a partner or want one
A Jewish man who runs against a ticket with Sarah Palin or someone equally as inept
An atheist man who looks like super model, has an outstanding track record and runs against a female candidate who looks like a lesbian
A common housecat

Cha ching! Nailed it!
I doubt much of the public even perceives Hillary and Palin as being the same species much less gender.. At least I don't.
How about we elect a blind nun with a bullwhip and a bottle of gin? :)
Well we haven't had an openly gay president but James Buchannon was probably gay, and Nixon had a gay lover. Nixon loved Mafioso Bebe Rebozo. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/2 ... 71557.html (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/12/27/richard-nixon-had-gay-affair_n_1171557.html)
Nixon had a gay lover? :shock:
