Buzzfeed has made a find — columns written by recent Hope High graduate Mike Huckabee for a Missionary Baptist newsletter targeting young people, titled the RAPture Express.

By then already a preacher and speaker, Huckabee had some opinions about dancing:

“I strongly recommend that Christian teens stay away from dancing, mainly because some people would just not be able to respect a person who attended dances.”

1. Yeah, a lot of us Baptists were told that.

It's gotten to be a joke among a lot of us.

"Why are Baptists against sex standing up? It might lead to dancing."

4. What about playing cards?

As a kid I had some Baptist neighbors who couldn't play cards.

6. I had an aunt who used to take the dice out of my cousins' Monopoly game.

Couldn't encourage them to gamble, you know.

You'd think I'd never forget, but now I can't remember how we managed to play the game.
