God and religion are two separate things. God might be good, sometimes. Religion is bad almost always. Take a good look at the leader of your religion and his Lieutenants. You'll see.

Keep Church and State separate, always!

yes I do believe there is a God! and unknown other spiritual guides to help us threw this life. This has been proven to me many times. Some times I even wonder why me, but know that even though there may not be proof to be seen. It can be felt and just knowing, that is proof enough for me.

How do we know, well - on a regular basis there are sudden moments of nature or even just day to day happenings or messages if we listen, that are available to us. yes, sometimes these things seem to be bad or sad things, not all life has to be perfect. Sometimes even the darkest times will bring us to enlightenment.

To GasMan of TX: you want to wrest control from the college educated elite? You'd rather uneducated people ran things? Wouldn't it be better if we all pulled together instead of being divisive?

I agree with KW from AL 100%. Leonine, where are you at in CA? I 've driven (and Owned) trucks for 20 some odd years now, and I haven't seen the first $100,000 year yet. Never close as a driver, and not even that close as an owner. If you know drivers that make that much in a year, then I want a job where they work! Seriously, Maybe what KW suggests is exactly what this country needs, a return to a simpler, less complicated way of doing business. Since the end of WWII, this country has headed down a path dictated by the college educated elite, unfortunately,the curriculum that is taught these days does not include common sense, which we seem to have an acute shortage of. (just look at any governmental entity at any level for proof of that....) Unless we find a way of wresting control of this country away from the elite, we are doomed...... period.

Enough of Banning religion.

Intelligent people do not go nuts...unstable people go nuts...

Build more mental institutions and treat them with consideration and understanding. But we need to keep them in their until they feel much better.

Sorry but my sense of humor has reached a climax with all the insanity.

Got a bad feeling about all the turmoil going on on planet earths crust.

Good religions teach peace, love, forgiveness and rules to make a marriage last.

Ones that teach violence are just an evil persons way of twisting something that was suppose to be used for good.

The time come for individuals who, worldwide, profess logic and intelligence as the baseline of human consciousness, to begin an active campaign to once and for end the repression and ignorance of religion.

Let’s start with logical means. Christians and their bibles, (all several dozens of English translations) clearly say the word of God is inerrant and it is the perfect error free message of God himself. If that is not true, then the Christian religion is not true and believing in its fallacy is simply to live in senseless ignorance. Abandoning the concept of intelligence and reason contradicts the forward motion of adaptation of the species is counterintuitive and more harmful than global warming could ever be.

Religion is simply an outmoded and serious decay in human evolution, which governments word-wide must seriously and in earnest begin a process to reeducate and eliminate religious ignorance once and for all. So, rather than debating the merits of a creator vs. natural causation, let’s just stick to the very basis of Christian faith, the error ridden, inerrant word of God:

MT 28:1 It was toward dawn when they arrived.

MK 16:2 It was after sunrise.

LK 24:1 It was at early dawn.

JN 20:1 It was still dark.

(God created the sun, but as for divinely inspired accuracy regarding the position of the sun, he is unsure.)

MT 27:5 Judas hanged himself.

AC 1:18 He fell headlong, burst open, and his bowels gushed out.

(A complete and unexplainable contradiction.)

MT 27:11-14 Jesus answers not a single charge at his hearing before Pilate.

JN 18:33-37 Jesus answers all charges at his hearing before Pilate.

(He could have only done one or the other.)

MT 1:16 Jacob was Joseph's father.

LK 3:23 Heli was Joseph's father.

(Only one man can father one child.)

MT 1:17 There were twenty-eight generations from David to Jesus.

LK 3:23-38 There were forty-three.

(A 15 generation discrepancy?)

MT 4:1-11, MK 1:12-13 Immediately following his Baptism, Jesus spent forty days in the wilderness resisting temptation by the Devil.

JN 2:1-11 Three days after the Baptism, Jesus was at the wedding in Cana.

(Theologians have never been able to ‘explain away’ this stark contradiction with any credibility.)

Yet Christians use this type of reason as evidence of their faith by crying of persecution or promotion of one-world government. They choose to live in the future and let their whole lives slip through their hands while being kept in fear based check by an angry celestial being for which there is not one iota of proof either in scripture or in fact.

The time has come for world governing bodies to give serious consideration for the outright ban of religious foolishness. We live in an age of reason; it is time to take a proactive approach in guiding mankind to its next level. One without the specter of religious repression.

KW of Alabama,

The country is a much more complicated, largely populated place than in Daniel Boone's time. Global economics is a very, very complicated issue that takes teams of people to try to figure out.

Daniel Boone or a truck driver would never be able to handle this level of government now. WE were a small country back then with few interactions from the rest of the world.

The problem in this country is greed. Plain and simple. No one is satisfied with just a nice small house and a car and food on the table. They want everything the rich have which is what got us into this situation to begin with. Truck drivers that I know make over 100k a year now and with a wife working, that is a lot of money these days. they still think they are underpaid.
