Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum on Sunday denied that he was not questioning President Barack Obama's faith in Christianity when he said the president's theology was not "based on the Bible."

At a tea party rally in Columbus, Ohio on Saturday, the candidate had said Obama's agenda was "about some phony ideal, some phony theology."

"Oh, not a theology based on the Bible, a different theology," he added.

On Sunday, CBS host Bob Schieffer asked Santorum "what in the world" he was talking about.

"I was talking about the radical environmentalists," the former Pennsylvania senator explained. "This idea that man is here to serve the Earth as opposed to husband its resources and be good stewards of the Earth. I think that is a phony ideal."

"We're not here to serve the earth, the earth is not the objective, man is the objective. I think a lot of radical environmentalists have it upside down," he said.

"How does that translate into some sort of theology, that the president's theology is not based on the Bible?" Schieffer wondered. "I mean, that suggests he's not a Christian."

"I wasn't suggesting the president's not a Christian," Santorum laughed. "I accept the fact that the president's a Christian. I just said when you have world view that elevates the Earth above man and says that we can't take those resources because we're going to harm the Earth like things that are not scientifically proven like the politicization of the whole global warming debate."

"Do you wonder that might lead some people to suggest that you were questioning the president's faith?" Schieffer pressed.

"No, because I've repeatedly said I don't question the president's faith," Santorum insisted. "He says he's a Christian. But I am talking about his world view."

Here's Bill Maher's final New Rules segment of the season, where he wonders if it's asking too much of Americans to sacrifice a little bit to have environmentally friendly biodegradable bags despite the noise they make and if we can ever get our politicians to have an actual "adult" conversation about anything. Bill also thanked the teabaggers for how they voted in the mid-term elections.

MAHER: Now this is America. We don't have adult conversations. We have Twitter. If you have a problem with the baby talk that serves as our national dialog, move to Finland, because ultimately, it is our fault, not the politicians. They just do what we tell them to do.

If you showed Mitt Romney a poll that said that he could win more votes if he became a woman named Matisha, he would get a weave and lop off his c**k faster than you can say it's not been sterilized. So congratulations America for being the dumbest electorate ever, especially you teabaggers.

You teabaggers, you got what you wanted, a giant tax break for me when I'm dead. So now I can leave all money tax free to the New Black Panthers, The Richard Dawkins Atheist Foundation, The American Federation of Pot Smoking Socialists, The Committee to Elect Michael Moore President, and my gay pet poodles Siegfried and Roy.
