....why do I have no use for religion? Here's a reason:
A Public Policy Polling (PPP) national survey conducted between February 20th and February 22nd of Republican voters, found that an astonishing 57 percent of Republicans want to dismantle the Constitution, and establish Christianity as the official national religion. Only 30 percent oppose making Christianity the national religion. Although the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment clearly states that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,†GOP voters want to cast aside that provision and impose Christianity as the official American religion. While a number of red states have passed statutes forbidding the implementation of Islam-based sharia law in their states, Republicans apparently have no misgivings about turning the United States into a Christian theocracy. The poll’s crosstabs reveal that support for making Christianity the official religion is strongest among Mike Huckabee (94 percent), Rick Perry (83 percent), and Ben Carson (78 percent) supporters. Ben Carson is the preferred presidential candidate of those who want to impose Christianity on the nation with 24 percent support. Mike Huckabee and Scott Walker are tied for 2nd place at 16 percent. Scott Walker (35 percent) and Jeb Bush (22 percent) are the leading candidates among GOP voters who do not want to establish a national religion. The PPP survey also found that 2/3rds of Republican voters do not believe in global warming, and 49 percent do not believe in the theory of evolution. Not only do they wish to establish a national religion, but it appears that their version of Christianity is one that is at odds with the scientific consensus in climatology and biology. http://tinyurl.com/ln8ugnt Republican Christians...the American ISIS? |

The problem arises when "the religious" try to force their beliefs and superstitions on people who believe differently. And they are trying. Who here is doing so? And, if you have no use, why make the posts? You're a funny guy, Herring, and by that I don't mean you are humorous. You and most of your right-wing friends here seem annoyed when the hypocrisy of organized religion is pointed out, especially if the hypocrisy is about Christianity. Yet none of you seem to follow the teachings of Jesus when it comes to your *vile* treatment of some people here, or even people you've never met who are members of a different religious group, a non-white race, or an ethnicity you don't share. You don't behave as if you are followers of Jesus, so why are you offended/annoyed when the foibles of religion are discussed? Hell, most of you know next to nothing about Christianity and its early years. My guess is that you act as you do in religious posts/discussions because you don't like your obvious hypocrisy pointed out. Oh, and in response to your question, "Who here is doing so?" - I've not claimed that anyone was. Again, "The problem arises when "the religious" try to force their beliefs and superstitions on people who believe differently. And they are trying." That's the issue. |
