To the best of my knowledge they pretty much all believed in a god or

In favor of what?



Why do humanitarian programs exist? Are we so perfect as humans that

we naturally come to the aid of people in need? I don't think so.

That's too god-like.



We have been influenced and taught that. By nature it's survival of the

Democrats, of course. In this country, virtually every social welfare

program of the last century that helps people in need was first devised

and promoted by Democrats and labor unions and organizations.

Well there you go then! God created Democrats and evolution after the 'big bang' created Republicans!

Your answer was cute, but Luddite's question still stands.



You know, John, sometimes it is hard for me to believe you've ever read
anything more challenging on a serious subject than an old Classics
Illustrated version. You're not someone whose thoughts on any subject
are to be taken seriously.
