I just tossed that in there as an example of his disgust for organizations, not personal religious beliefs per se.

I know he had a problem with organized religion. and that's basically what is running this "democracy" as you pointed out. This is a thread about the treat of religious fanaticism imo not unions.
I didn't say organized religion was running the country. I said most of the people and representatives are Christians.

The reason the religious are in power in this country is because they are organized.

All Abrahamic religions have messianic prophecies where everyone converts to said religion in the end and follows it's particular laws.

The difference being OUR GAWD needs a bunch of people to burn in HELL. So converting everyone is not an option.
These Middle Eastern religions suck imo.

lol, christianity has been so perverted from its origins it's funny to see people claim USA is a christian nation... more like a nation that likes churches and books and robes and big crosses, and bad people go to hell and stuff. it's like the saturday morning cartoon version of christianity.

Nostradamus was wrong.

I had a Christian woman tell me I should be shot for saying that others being gay was fine with me.
Just give the ignorant enough power and I'm a dead man. I'm sorry you think Christians are misguided but harmless. History has not shown this to be true.

History meaning several centuries ago? They're done with it. Fred Phelps is an extreme aberration. Anwar al Awlaki is not.
