one of the things that has never failed to mystify me is the way people take the bible which is a really fine collection of fables and metaphors...stories designed to provide moral guidance...and ignore EVERYTHING it stands for...
choosing instead to believe that its a collection of literal facts...and that everyone elses collections if different cant possibly be real

um...werd.
An ad hominem fallacy consists of asserting that someone's argument is wrong and/or he is wrong to argue at all purely because of something discreditable/not-authoritative about the person or those persons cited by him rather than addressing the soundness of the argument itself.

This country was founded with freedom in mind. We're all free to do as we please (for the most part). That includes practicing whatever religion we want to. So if Dio and others like him want to flaunt their atheism, fine

you left out the part about being able to be free FROM religion as well

its not a matter of just going to church praying and going home...or believing when you die you do nothing but rot in a casket six feet down

the idea of god permeates into so much of society rather than be kept in the church and home....in fact its stressed fervently passionately...and what does that lead to?

war
hatred
murder
genocide
rape
women as chattel
female genital mutilation
repression
terrorism

the constiitution i was born under ensures a seperation of church and state and this is much more important than the right to practice whatever religion you choose

Agreed 100%. I believe that the gov't shouldn't be so reliant upon religion in how they do business. The founders rolled outta Europe to avoid the religion so it should be free here. Worship who you want but don't make it part of the state.

I think America's duality comes from the fact that the Puritans wanted to live a stricter religious life but were being persecuted in England. Now we seem to deal with the duality of 'freedom to worship' vs. that puritanical mind set to make everything religiously moral.

I suppose if an AIDS patient took TrimSpa, they'd die instantly?

I'm a man who discovered the wheel and built the Eiffel Tower out of metal and brawn. That's what kind of man I am. You're just a woman with a small brain. With a brain a third the size of us. It's science.
