Gotta love the hypocrisy of "religious Republicans." Many support

Ahh, religion.




Thus you are "agnostic"?

With exception of a few Bible thumping extremist sects, modern thinking
regarding religion, even among the faithful, is not like it was in the
14th and 15th centuries.



I'm agnostic because I have little use for superstition beyond the tooth
fairy, the easter bunny, and santa claus.

I've read and seen news videos of modern christians spewing hatred at
those who believe differently. Muslims do it too, of course. What is
modern thinking among the faithful, that superstition still has a place
in rationality?

I can accept "on faith" that among the zillions of planets out there,
there are some providing homes to civilizations of beings who are as
intelligent or far more intelligent than we are. The numbers of planets
favor such a belief. I can't prove it, but I can accept it.

I can't think of one proof that proves the existence of a supreme being.




When you figure out how the world, planets and solar systems got here
I'll be willing to listen to your hypothesis. Until then you will be
spewing bull**** because you know nuttin.
