    Should taxpayers help restore old religous structures?

    Economists call it "opportunity cost." If taxes had been paid, the public would collectively have more money. The difference between what the public would have and what it actually has can be thought of as public funding. The public is passing on the opportunity to have that money, so other...

    Higher Power vs. Man in the Sky

    I think the idea is that anthropomorphizing God implies some baggage or limits that "higher power" does not.

    Should taxpayers help restore old religous structures?

    I agree, although it becomes a judgment call as to what's considered a "universally recognized historical landmark." As much as I loathe the slippery slope argument, this might be the place for it.

    Alternative Voting Systems

    I like the idea, but because it gives thirds a more level playing field, the major parties will fight it with all their resources. For that reason, I don't see it gaining traction here for some time, but I hope I'm wrong.

    Proof that "our father" is real

    Why personify all those actions conglomerated together? Does it enhance our understanding? Viewing them as a deity adds a layer of potential confusion. For example, justice is a great concept, but making it out to be a real entity wouldn't do anything to help us understand the part justice...

    Prophets--quality control. Especially for Muslims, LDS

    Why is it valuable to have a place for faith? It seems to me our tendency to believe things without evidence is ripe for exploitation by tyrants of all stripes. History is a cautionary tale of the downside risk, so what's the value?
