Quote:Christians pay tax. Considering how many Christians there are in this country; and how many very wealthy Christians are in this country; then Christians probably pay more tax then any other group. So how do they not get a say?
Well organised religion and churches do not pay tax. that is what i have been saying all along that organised religion should stay out of politics. you nice people just try to confuse things by going in circles and quoting out of context and changing goalposts but that was my original statement and ive said it many times in here.
Quote:So why can they have a say yet a group of Christians can not?
Gay groups dont call themselves charities. They dont pretend not to be interested in politics then try to impose their will on others. all they want is equal rights.
Quote:Likewise, you hide behind the word religion to support your case. You ask "how do you decide which sect of which religion should dictate the rules?", when the really question is, what worldview should we live by? Or how should we live in a society with many different views?
No - my question was sarcastic because you were never going to answer it. Thing is if xtians wanna dictate rules to the rest of us then so will muslims and hindus and etc etc. Its all fairy tales. organised religion needs to stay out of the real world. It doesnt belong here.
Quote:You avoide using worldview because atheism is a worldview. You use words like religion and atheism to make two different groups, that way you can set two different standards. That way you can claim that atheist can have a say, while all religions should remain quiet. Again, you want to silence and ridicule anyone who doesn't have the same worldview that you do.
Utter bullshit. Atheism is a lack of belief in fairy tales. It is not a worldview - its a lack of a fairy tale view.
i dont care wtf anyone believes or pretends to believe. Just dont bother other ppl with it and dont shove it down my childrens throats and stay away from politics.SOB
Yet that is exactly what you are doing by telling everyone who has a different worldview to you to shut up.
You are shoving your worldview down people's throats and trying to control politics by only allowing people with the same worldview as you to speak.
Claiming you don't have a worldview because your an athiest is a joke. Everything you see and hear is being filtered by your view of the world. The only people who dont have a worldview are those who are brain dead.
But. Speaking of brain dead, how is this for a good laugh,

Wow... A quick read over what you have said just on this thread alone, followed by that quote. Wow...
It's like you have taken every issue people have of you, stuck it in a sentence, and used it as your own accusation. You have an unbelievable inability of self reflection and evaluation. Why do you think every thread turns into you verse the world? Because everyone else is wrong and is picking on you?
