No, I want to ESCAPE all you religious nutters. I would LOVE to be in a country where NOBODY believed in some god or other, since they were ALL manmade in the first place.
How do you escape religion? Force everyone around you to be religion free.


@Eladar
There are literally MILLIONS of folks who don't believe in your man made STUPID gods. I would just like us all to get together in one place and start our OWN country free of the shackles of organized religion.

Until then all you can do is force your beliefs on others.

You are nothing but a Bible Thumper when it comes to your beliefs.

You really started something with this thread, didn't you ?
You must be having your oops moment.
Always keeping your true social ideology in your back pocket while you rail on about America becoming a communist country under Biden.

Sooooo........now that you've started this thread, what exactly is your wish list for the social fabric of America going forward ?
Fair question I've been asking for some time.
Are you going to dodge it in your own thread ? 😛

I'll make it easy for you.
Same sex marriage.
Reproduction management by a woman (aka abortion)
Sex outside of marriage (aka recreational sex. Your term)

It's your thread. Have a go at it. 🙂

I have been saying all along that you libs are going to win in the end. Since you are probably privy to the inner workings, , could you advise us on how to prepare our children? For a life quite different than was ours?
You don’t know what the future will bring.
So you teach your children to be able to adapt.

How to be nosey, how to find information, how stay atuned to what’s going on.

I would suggest a fricassee or a ragout.

Other than stopping the killing of innocent life, when did I say society should stop any of that other behavior?

You must have some sort of complex.

Yes, and make good choices, to be self reliant, you have heard my speeches before. For god sakes, NOT be dependent, which leads to being a loser. To be successful and make money so that you can enjoy a full and fruitful life, so that you can rest easy with a nest egg, how to invest so your money will work for you. One might say I seem to dwell on money, but really it is dwelling on success, and money is generally the measuring tool. Having this security will make it quite easy to adapt. I will wager that in the next 15 minutes that you, and other posters, will see the subject of money cross your mind. Hope you made good choices in the past as will my kids, so that you are not actually worrying about money.

Follow the Constitution. Stop trying to change things every day. Live your life of self reliance, demand that the government stop all the giveaway programs except for the truly needy. Demand proper use of our tax money. Demand to reduce the number (over 500) of govt agencies. Let states have their own election processes. No more bailouts. No spending money to help people who make bad choices. Dont reimburse me for a stock loss, dont pay for an abortion of someone who decided to get pregnant.
Note the examples are what NOT to do. I can't actually say what I want them TO do, because I dont want the Govt to DO anything except keep us safe, and let us live our lives. Pretty simple requests,, don't you think?
So MG, what do you say to this? Is it workable, shall we go for it?

Follow the Constitution.

Yep, the 400 bills being puked out by repubs who control a lot of states, those state bills will ensure the end of democracy in the US.
And you think that is just FINE. Who needs a fukking democracy anyway?

Abortion would be a debate topic all on its' own.
On your basic question ??
But I will call you out on a post you let slip sometime last year.

Quote .... "people who have sex outside of marriage should be shot" ... unquote.

You can challenge me to offer up a proof. And I won't.
I couldn't be bothered go a year back in the forum database looking for a quote.

But I have a good memory. So ............
I know what I read .....
You know where you stand .......
We'll leave at that...

That's fine and good.
You point out a wish list that many of us can agree and disagree on......

But ..........
You started this thread on a grievance that an Atheist has become Harvard's new Chaplain.

I responded to your thread because you finally put aside all your other grievances that have been endlessly debated and put forth a thread that represents what you makes you tick.

Now your response seems to be to hide behind all the other issues instead of pushing this thread forward.

I'll help you get started........
You are engaged in a life and death battle over what American society will look like going forward.
And as about half of Trump's base are evangelical Christians.......
Take the ball and run with it....
Don't wimp out on me now.

I am a christian, make church every Sunday, etc etc, love lent and Easter. Hope y'all dont change all that as well. I dont care about writing about religion.
This post is not really about religion per se. A Chaplain is a person chosen to conduct religious exercises, among other things, I just looked it up. I am posting then, that a reputable college has such an office, a chaplain's office, but it will be governed by a person who lacks belief in the existence of God, or any such entity.
So, a non-religious person in the position of a religious office. Do you not find that interesting? Didn't mean to get those liberal feathers 'a flying. Whew.
