And how do we "fix" that problem, tpaine?
As I said earlier, we should be educating to encourage independent thinking, based on the principles of our constitutional republic. Religions in america should be encouraging a respect for our principles of individual rights to life, liberty & property. Yet here on FR, it seems the biggest proponents for 'states rights' over our individual rights, are the socalled 'moral majority'.
Methinks you want to "throw out the baby with the bathwater," tpaine.
Not at all betty. I'm not anti-religious, - I'm anti-zealot, as was Koestler. You would think that individual freedom would be argued loudest by religious people in their own self interest. I'm afraid the zealots have the floor, -- and the podium.
Do you think I'm a zealot, tpaine?
