Would you favor religion becoming extinct?

Exactly, we just use it as a convenient excuse.

Well, I both agree and disagree with you. First, I disagree that it should be the law that religious organizations lose their tax exempt status if they make political proclamations or endorsements. Religious leaders should have the same freedom of speech as anybody else. That said, I would stop attending any Church in which the priest endorsed particular candidates.

Don’t you mean shift blame away from?
I only ask, because you sound like you’re attacking religion.

If man was shifting blame too religion, that would be hurting their religion.
So why would they want to do that? lol.

To me, “less judgmental” and “atheist” don’t apply to the same person as well (although I find atheists to be religious, so I guess we are saying the same thing). Just a matter of perspective. (agnostic and less judgemental to often apply).

Were they Christians, or were they Jehovah’s Witnesses or Mormons?

Religious people have the right to proselytyze, just like you have the right to tell them to buzz off.

Both christians and mormans.

I’ve got no problem with a religious leader offering opinions and endorsements as a private citizen. It’s when they do so in their official capacity as leader of a tax-exempt organization that I take issue.

That will raise some hackles. :wink:

Ok…and?

Not really. He was raised Catholic, but showed no evidence of being Catholic as an adult. He had strange Norse spiritual views.

The reasons for that are as much ethnic as they are religious. The Northern Irish Protestants are the descendents of the English and Scotch Presbyterians who moved to Northern Island in the 17th century. Northern Ireland, before that point, had been the most anti-English part of Ireland, so the English moved in as many non-Irish Protestants there in order to pacify the area.

so they didn’t intermarry? Have kids and so on and so on.

I am a hybrid American, I have no ethnicity except American so I really have no understanding of ethnicity except from what I have read. my ancestors came to American in the late 17th century.

many generations later here I am.

There is no hybrid northern Irish?

That is of both ethnicity.

we are in the beginning of the 21st century and some people still care about such foolishness.

would Democrats favor religion to become extinct?

Yes, yes they would. At least most of them. lol.

Religion has worked for America. It’s partly because of Religion, that America
enjoys so many of its freedoms in general. Including being able to
believe whatever a persons choses, beliefs and spiritual wise.

Unfortunately, Democrat Politicians could care less about the American people,
but more about forcing their Socialist Agenda, and a huge portion of
that is tearing apart religion within America. Anarchy is what they’d prefer.

You do realize this is the Religion Forum and not the anti-Democrat herpa-derp forum?

You do realize that this is a Religion Forum on a Conservative based Website correct?
and not a Liberal Socialist Democrat (LSD) Website, correct? lol. :smirk:

Hi! Welcome to Hannity.com

Politics is the religion of many.

Oh it is still happening but mostly in countries with little what I call liberal advancement.

Do you know how uninformed you sound when you post?

The right disrespects religious freedom as much as the left. Right now in Canada a right wing government just passed a law that anyone working a government job can not wear anything religious.
