You know nothing about God. He asked for His sheep to be fed by their brothers, NOT government. We are to take care of one another. Our rights come from God, not government. They only take them away. Try feeding your family fish or game without a license. Government took that right away, not God. A properous man is to share his wealth with widows and orphans but not the lazy.
What in that do you disagree with?
I want to know why the sudden need for recognition as a group to be pandered to. If they’re conservative they can vote conservatively without wearing a sign around their neck.
And exactly how are we supposed to “recognize” them as atheist conservatives? Do we remove God from the money or throw a few chaplains out of the military? Maybe they should sue a businessman for refusing to do business with them.
Its pure left wing behavior.
What I disagree with is when helping others becomes a moral duty. There is nothing wrong with helping others and it right and proper to do so if it is in your interest to do it. But when it becomes a moral virtue to live for the sake of others then it becomes a vice to live for your own sake. That is the lethal premise and it is the only premise which can be used to justify Socialism and egalitarianism. Without it these things are unjustifiable so it is hypocritical to preach this principle and then to be against socialism. A moral code that requires self abnegation and self sacrifice is incompatible with Capitalism. The Pope agrees with me by the way and he himself calls for central control of the economy which is socialism.
I have noticed that a lot of atheists are leftists and they hold these ideas without rational justification when that is the very same reason they don’t believe in God. I choose to be consistent and not hold unjustifiable beliefs. I don’t expect you to agree with me, I’m just expressing my thoughts.
