If Romney gets in which country will America start a war with next?

What is wrong with questioning things? I'm really not sure who you are referring to as bashing religion. I have kept my entries pretty civil and for the most part just questioning illogical thinking and why it is ok to have selective faith along with asking for an explanation to things in the bible that the believers say must be read and taken literally and not as correspondences.

Since you are so enlightened, why don't you take a stab at explaining the validity of the Adam and Eve story? Or are you ok with being an incestuous in-bread as the story implies we all are?

Why is anyone surprised that politics turns into religion. It is only a reflection of what is happening on the National Stage. We have one party that wants abortion banned due to their religious beliefs. As a member of the other party we are often called godless. In the fight for marriage equality which is a legal contract between two loving adults again you find religion trying to interfere with the rights of some.

I see the Country as more of a business and not where I would go for moral guidance. I do not want a country that does immoral things but it has gone to war needlessly, allowed torture and talk of removing safety nets for the elderly and poor. Talking about religion does not make one a good person and not believing does not make one a good person.

I have always maintained that ones Politics IS their Religious Belief and ones Religious Beliefs create their Political choices and decisions.

Why else would every political position and race and supreme court nominee be judged almost solely on whether that person believes in Abortion, Gay Rights or anything else that is more of a Religious Belief than having anything to do with Politics?

Get back to me when you explain the validity of your grandfather talking to angels.

For you to jump, both feet first, into the religion bashing dog-pile, and then trying to deny it, is perhaps the most hypocritical thing I think I've ever seen. ...from several angles.

BTW, the word you want is "in-bred". In-bread is like the raisins in raisin bread.

LOL, my Grandfather

Again, you only have selective Faith.

If you believe Moses talked to god because someone wrote it in a story book, then how could you even question that someone talked to angels?

Get back to me when you have actually read some of Swedenborg's writings. The Swedenborg religion, part of Christianity, was started long after he died but because his writings and teachings make sense, he obviously had many followers.

And all the while you are singling me out for bashing, I am promoting Swedenborg, a Christian religion.

Well, Moses had a heckuva lot of followers who persist to this day. Scientology has followers, too. As for Swedborg, talk to me in a few thousand years.

...and yet you happily mock others. riiiiiiight.

Since you are so quick to give out spelling lessons while happily mocking others for spelling and grammar, try checking yourself for obvious mistakes.

What makes you think that was a mistake?

Nice try, inbred!
