I agree with you down the line. It's about getting the church-folk to understand that by inviting gov't and religion to mix, they're only going to bring trouble on themselves, which is why the Founders knew the best route to religious freedom was to keep government away from it, and vice versa. harriet tubman - that was good, and i'm still gettin a chuckle out of it.

PLC for one (and I for another). It's the perversion in the name of Christianity, or other spiritual beliefs, that gets to many here (i.e. Daryll of Parodyll). I prefer not to engage in theological debates here because it usually boils down to proof of existence vs. proof on non-existence, which to me is counter productive (I love the one poster who wanted to start an organization called atheists for Christ). My opinion is, to be a true progressive, one must be tolerant of all religion/beliefs. Once we start favoring one over the other, or denouncing a certain denomination, then we as a nation, have failed. BARTLEBEE, not all regulars here are religious intolerant.

But I tend to believe it's partially a kneejerk reaction to the person rather the religion. It's also fairly obvious that those who espouse one religion or another aren't actually following their paths, but inciting. There are others here who use restraint when discussing the foundations of someone elses religion. I had asked Daryll if God condones waterboarding. He sidestepped the question and stated he himself didn't see anything wrong with it but couldn't state that god did. My guess is that he couldn't bring himself to lie, knowing full well the bible does not support torture. Comment by BARTLEBEE — December 12, 2007 @ 3:02 pm

That religion should always be separate from politics. But noooooo, the right can't seem to follow that. They're even attacking their own (although fun to watch, it proves meaningless when it comes to political positions) We also learned the Daryll of Parodyll is going to Rio for some man on man "restroom love"! And although I have no problem with that, I'm not sure his new bride would be as accepting. Finally, we observe JMH is still a misogynist 40 year virgin (or is he 41 now?), whose "Ivy league" education still has him posting from his mother's basement, presumably due to Florida's "Island Heat Effect" Weeeee, what fun!
