Eye On Boise

Pro-Life’s atomic theory…

The candidate for Idaho governor who was formerly known as Marvin Richardson - until he legally changed his name to "Pro-Life" - shared this with Eye on Boise today: "I believe that when you split atoms, you've murdered an atom, that God doesn't intend any of the atoms to be split. That's the basic building blocks of the universe and eternity. And that's why you get such toxic waste from splitting atoms. I think it's just the most stupid and horrendous thing to think of." He added, "That's kind of a spiritual position."
