Here’s your problem...a billion people would change one word of your statement and agree whole heartedly:

Take out conservatism and replace it with Islam.

“Islam has morality, meaning, purpose, and direction...all from god.”

I’m not a militant Atheist. But I recognize the futility of religious arguments. Christians KNOW they’re right. Unless you’re the wrong sort of Christian. Like a Catholic. Then a bunch of Protestants think you’re deluded. And a bunch of Catholics think the same thing about Protestants.

Muslims are so sure they’re right that they will cut your head off for being an infidel. If you’re Jewish it’s even worse. Oh, and let’s not get started about the Mormons.

See my point? It’s futile. Believe what you want, don’t push those beliefs on others. Mind your own business.

I realize many Atheists are obnoxious blowhards. So are many “devout” believers. For me, god has nothing to do with lower taxes, less government, 2nd amendment rights, etc. It’s just common sense.

Atheism lacks morality, meaning, purpose and direction because that is what it is about. It doesn’t lack it because I believe in God.

Atheism has no foundation that provides for those things. All are a matter of whim and circumstance.

The public crusader ones for sure, like the ones who want to be at CPAC.

Problem with atheists is they are naive and obtuse.

Put another, they are dumb and ignorant.

That’s OK, but the problem is that they see themselves in the exact opposite light, that they are intelligent and informed.

This nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles.

No.

The above doesn’t make sense. Judaism and Mormonism are worse than Islam?

Could you explain that claim regarding how the Jewish are even worse? Thanks
