Reply #3: How about agnostics [View All]

[Erika]

Who knows if there is a God? Why is that important?

A belief in God does not mean a better person than the average. I have been bitterly disappointed by religious people who claim a belief in God, but will stab you in the back, and send your kids off to a war with a country who never was a threat.

Religious zealots are bigots and full of hatred. Falwell hates gays and teletubbies, Robertson hates anyone he feels like at any given moment. Both of them want to blame disasters on the UnGodly. Their message is hate and fear. But they live the lives of the rich elite.

We have the Bakkers, the Swaggerts, and all the rest of the religious nuts. We have the Catholics who refuse to give communion to those who believe in women's rights. Even if the priest giving communion is a pedophile.

Christ's teachings are love and forgiveness and the Golden Rule. Our administration acts 100% opposite.

Give me an atheist who believes in caring for each other as a human characteristic, rather than a religious zealot any day of the week.
