As you know this country of America was founded by Christians.
No it wasn't. There were some Christians, some deists, some puritans, and even atheists. Even if they were all 100% Christian, that would have
no relevance to what we should believe today. P.S. They founded a
secular (free from religious oppression) government. If you want a theocracy, move to the Middle East.
"Religions are all alike - founded upon fables and mythologies." - Thomas Jefferson
"The divinity of Jesus is made a convenient cover for absurdity." - John Adams
"Lighthouses are more helpful than churches." - Benjamin Franklin
It just got perverted along the way when people started losing faith.
Christians are still the majority, so why are you blaming it on the faithless? Statistics show the more religious an area/group is, the more likely it is to suffer from various social ills. We have it pretty damn good in America, anyway; I don't know why people bemoan "the good ol' days". That's just the thing to do, I guess.
Of course I know I can't change yours but someone or something will one day.
I've already done my time as a True Christian; I got the stamp in my Passport of Life and have no plans to go back.
Obviously, there's something bigger out there that created us.
Yes, yes there is. It's called the universe.
But that's ok you can continue to have a closed mind and no conscience if you want to.
It took an OPEN mind to get me out of religion. The only "open-mindedness" that exists
there is the ability to persuade yourself with delusions. As for no conscience, I am a hell of a lot more moral than the god of the Bible.
Have you read it??And seriously, when did Spiderman become relevant in this conversation?
I mentioned him to prove a point...it doesn't matter if a holy book mentions a few actual places, names, or events. Christians try to use theirs as a weak "proof" for god, but as we can see from Spidey,
it doesn't prove anything.
I know you should be much more smarter than to write something so dumb like that.
Funny you should make such a judgement, for two reasons: 1) this is your first experience with me and 2) any intelligent person can see that joke about Europeans WAS clever. It's clever because the point is
we came from a common ancestor, and that's why there are still Europeans (primates, too). Get it?
But that evolution crap doesn't make sense at all.
Probably because the only information you have on it is a bunch of misconceptions. Tell me why we have an appendix, then, and why whales have bones for legs?
I suggest if you see my opinion in a forum don't quote me and just ignore me.
Sorry, I'm not the type of person who backs down just because things get a little heated.
