1. Do Americans really want a secular state? |
|
Not that it matters much what "Americans" want. If the regime decrees, it will be a Christian Reconstructionist republic and anybody who disagrees better hope they look good in an orange jumpsuit and like mosquitos.

4. I don't understand the bashing of religions, |
|
but I don't understand all the religious folks always having their panties in such a wad.
I personally see all religions as the same - all superstiton, no one more or less valid than the other (though I find some have more postive teachings than others)
So I try to ignore the "so-and-so religion members are idiots" threads. You can tell by the title that they are stupid.
Just hit the alert button and move on.

2. I can understand the feelings. |
|
Not just intolerance, either. Anger, bitter words toward others. I realize a lot of it is from those who come here to do just that, but not all.
It should be a welcome place, not one in which the stupid threads on attacking each others' candidates and religions take place.
I can understand.

Some of the stuff I've been reading on this board has been so unbelievably intolerant it's made me sick. :eyes:

I see some of that to. But if they don't post how can we help them to see that they may want to think about the way they treat others?
