Why did/does man create religions?

Yes, because people played attention and no longer wanted religious views codified in our law. That’s the entire point. That’s one of the reasons atheists care about religion - because it can seep into our laws if we dont speak up.

Like creationism being taught in public schools.

I mean, many conservatives were concerned that Obama was a secret Muslim wanting to bring a new caliphate.

So, please, stop pretending that anti gay marriage laws are some thing of the distant past. And stop pretending that atheists should ignore politicians that use their religion as a basis for their actions.

Let me know when the shariah law caucus forms in the House or Senate.

Can you give some examples of how that might happen? You’ve already mentioned passing laws is not forcing religion on others. Just curious what you were afraid of.

So you agree that gay couples should be able to be married and adopt kids freely as heterosexual couples do? Cool!

Huh? I’m laughing that people think that it could happen!

No you arent. You’ve repeatedly used it in this thread and other threads (below) to rationalize trump

You havent “lol’d” or laugh emoji in any of the posts.

Sounds more like you got caught with your foot in your mouth talking about evangelicals concern that government was going to force beliefs on them through law

Oh the hypocrisy

I’m not acting. They are not distant past. They are simply past. There is no serious conservative or religious movement to bring them back. And don’t forget, both parties including Hillary and Obama opposed equal rights. I was pro gay marriage before either one of them were. Relax. You have nothing to fear. This is the best time in history to be gay. For most people, your co workers, neighbors, etc. It’s a non issue.

So you agree that conservatives who were worried about Hillary Clinton attacking their Christian religion were a bit crazy. Cool!

And that’s precisely because people actively cared about and fought against religious beliefs about gay marriage being codified in our law

No. They should lose sleep.

A candidate that wants to “abolish christianitys teachings and tenants”

I seldom use emojis. Yesterday was an exception, not the rule. I cannot help your lack of understanding or your jumping to the wrong conclusions. It is clear from the above post you have no wish to understand, so play your game and enjoy your “wins.” Meanwhile, know I am amused.

Except you arent laughing in any form. You’ve in the past endorsed fear about Clinton wanting to get rid of christianity

I’m sorry but you seem to deny what you type A LOT

There is absolutely no communication of “amusenent” or “laughter”. You got caught defending evangelicals being concerned about government forcing beliefs. After railing against atheist concerns. You then played it off as “laughing at evangelicals” (which you didnt) - even though your posting history has you agreeing with them. It’s really transparent.

How are you defining hypocrisy? I said what I meant and I meant what I said. Perhaps if I spoke more slowly? What I noted in that above thread is that a group of people were trying to shame people into not supporting President Trump, accusing them of not following good Christian teachings. I pointed out the other candidate was not spouting good Christian teachings, either. What you think you “caught” me at is beyond me. First you complain that Christians voting their religious beliefs are forcing religion on you. Next you complain about Christians not voting according to what you believe their religious beliefs should be. Finally when I offer a possible explanation on what some Christians may be thinking, you call me a hypocrite. You are harder to please than my mother–and there was a time nothing could please her. Ah, the memories.

Here’s another doozy

Just admit you empathized with evangelicals fear/concern withHillary. .

But you just said you were laughing at people who thought it was possible

Even though you’ve said in other threads you share their beliefs.

This is ridiculous. How can we have a conversation if you consistently deny what your posts literally say?

No you didnt. You said we should lose sleep about libs and Clinton wanting to dismantle Chrustianity. Again, we can read your posts.

Awesome! We have made huge progress! Don’t worry about these laws being repealed. I think there is little interest in doing so. Don’t you?
