I agree Jim. Again, I’m not a militant Atheist.
My point is this...religious bickering is pointless. It occurs daily on this site. Thousands of posts by Catholics and Protestants each claiming the other side is wrong and/or deluded.
How does that advance the Conservative cause? Even if all of a sudden all Christian branches suddenly put aside all their differences and agreed on everything...we still have over a billion Muslims that hate us and our taxes are too high.
I think we have a better shot at lowering taxes than we do of convincing Muslims, Mormons, Buddhists , etc that they’re wrong about god.
Again, I mean no offense.
I try to avoid arguments between Catholics and Protestants.
Many of the founding fathers were atheists or agnostics. The difference was Franklin, Jefferson, etc. were respectful of the role religious institutions played in a culture. They respected and shared the same values as those who were religious.
Today’s militant atheists lack respect. They disrespect religion and they disrespect freedom. They are vile radicals. Even if they believed in god they would still be radicals opposed to freedom and American traditions.
