Funny how during the Inquisition, Christians burned and tortured people who they thought were heretics. How many young boys feel safe in the Catholic Church lately? I equate the stupidity of claiming one religion is righteous and the rest are all wrong and our lives should be controlled by it. You demand that we have small government because the U.S. government should not be telling us how to live our lives but you are ok with the "church" doing that? At least admit you are a hypocrite. Religion has no place in government and you should not stand up and proclaim your religion is better than others and should be forced down other people's throats and control how they live. Being a good person and all that is human nature, religion has been used to pervert that since the beginning of time.
More people have been killed in the name of religion than any other cause The Church stole millions of dollars of money from people since the Middle Ages. Why is the Vatican so wealthy? Adultry? So preists can fuck little boys but God forbid an adult cheats on his or her spouse Lying? religious people don't lie right? What about all of those faith healers who swindle people out of their money selling salvation. Alcohol?? SO religious people don't drink? wtf...
Figures you would take it to a stupid extreme. Keep religion out of government and pushing it down everyone's throat....plain and simple. You don't want a Congressman preaching islam but it is ok to have a Southern rep scream about Christian values for all while fucking his secretary and stealing money haha.
Funny how Trump was pro-abortion, married 3 times, cheating on those 3 wives, knows nothing about fidelity and the Bible Belt has no problem with that....hypocrisy at its best.
No you just are not capable of having a reasonable discussion like I can with GWB or Capt Obvious. I said keep it out of the government and you said religion should be banned completely. How are they even remotely the same thing? They are not, you took it to your own exaggerated extreme to defend a point that was not made by me at all.
I can’t disagree that morality is not dependent on religion but I do disagree with the idea that religion is meaningless without empathy. Religion can be almost anything. I think Taoism if fairly devoid of empathy in its teachings.
