There is a "natural" law, built into the heart of every person. I think the Creator built it there, and it is there whether you later in life become a Christian, an atheist, or a druid. Others think is evolved with us as we arose majestically from the bio soup. That's an argument for another thread.
I think a government with an official religion is hell on earth, and the only thing worse is a government officially atheist. They're both pretty bad. The only tolerable government is one that thinks it is too dumb to know.
Now that's a profound (and correct) philosophy brilliantly stated.
I am a Christian, but I don't think "religion" is all that keeps people from descending into barbarism. There is a "natural" law, built into the heart of every person. I think the Creator built it there, and it is there whether you later in life become a Christian, an atheist, or a druid. Others think is evolved with us as we arose majestically from the bio soup. That's an argument for another thread.

Very good. You and I are in complete agreement except that I think that this "natural law" is just built in to most people and not put there by a god.
But then, I have no way of knowing that you may very well be right which is why I call myself an agnostic rather than athiest.
