Have Religions Outlived its Usefulness in The USA

[Sir Doom]

I see you just want to debate for the sake of debating. Okay I'll be your Huckleberry.

Actually, I want to debate because I disagree with the sentiment of your OP. Its only natural. I do love to debate, however.

I did not blame slavery, racism, sexism, and the tooth ferry on Christianity. I said these things were sactioned by religion, Big difference. I have nothing but respect for religion I just don't think it should be part of public policy.

Then your previous argument is hardly sufficient. Try again.

You disagree with my argument, that's fine. But stop trying to reframe my argument to suit a point you're trying to make.

I'm following the implication of your statements. I have no intention of ceasing that practice for you or anyone else. Perhaps you should think before you type. Just good advice.

You got something to say just say it.

I've been saying it. The important thing, however is that you are saying it.

You don' t need me to have an opposing view for you to make your point.

And yet, you do. Which makes it that much easier.

Either you think religion has outlived its usefulness or you don't. Lets stop all these side arguments where you try to tell me what I mean. This is beneath a man of your intellect.

Flattery will get you nowhere. I'm quite aware of what is or isn't beneath me.

Also, look up the definition for Rhetorical Question. You will find out how wrong you are. No apologies necessary.

That's all I have to say about that.

With only 20% of the population stating no religious affiliation, and with 75% stating that they're Christian, I don't see how religion has outlived its usefulness in this country. Apparently 3/4 of us find it "of use" to us.

Of course personally. However do you think it should affect US government policy?

Well, yeah! Government has to insure separation of church/state.

 

[Tabb]

Well, yeah! Government has to insure separation of church/state.

Unfortunately that's not the case. Religion is so involved with the political process that the effect on government policy is glaring.

I'm just glad one of us knows what you're talking about.
