It is really a waste of time to post a poll here dealing with political or social issues......I believe that most of the members here a kids who are brainwashed at this time and like I did when I was their age will grow out of it when they get older and wiser and get married and have a family and most important of all get away from the left wing college profs. who are trying to brainwash them.......even a far lefty like you has to wonder why the polls are so different then they are on the national level...

Newsflash: not everyone who disagrees with you is a "far-lefty." Alpaca is anything but. When will you realize this?

Whether you like it or not the USA is a judeo/christian country. I am a Roman Catholic and we force the Catholic religion on no one. We welcome people who want to be Catholic

False. The U.S.A. is a country whose population is predominately currently Judeo/Christian.This country is a "democracy" not a "theocracy".
Demographics can and do change.
As a military personal you should know that.
You took a vow to defend the rights of people like me,not force your beliefs on the people you are/were charged to protect.

LOL, did you just call me a far lefty because I don't believe in god? Are you aware that science is in fact not a liberal conspiracy?

You're saying that we're brainwashed because we stopped believing in god, like we stopped believing in the easter bunny and santa clause? Yet you call what christians are doing to young children, indoctrinating them from birth NOT brainwashing?

For the last time, religious beliefs have NOTHING to do with political association. You're making yourself look like a child.

I wish there were some stats on how many atheists accept our lord and savior Jesus Christ on their death bed.....Sadly I am at a time of my life where long time friends are dying and several who had given up on religion did exactly that. If this life on earth was all there is how sad would it be.......

The fear of "what if" is strong when the end is near. Personally I don't think God is vane enough to care if I worship him like some monarchy. I think God is more concerned with me living a life that makes myself and those around my happy and loved.

There is a separation of church and state my friend but since we are a God fearing country and most of our legislators are themselves Christian you will never shut God out.

You can never stop people from being who they are. Religion brings a lot of good things to the table as well as some bad. As long as the bad can be left at home I'm OK with it.

That doesn't mean I want new Christian statues erected on public property with or without government money.

I think its because DP leans to the left where most of society is center right and a huge majority believe in God......I think the last poll was around 86%. It is encouraging to see that in this far left forum the majority still believe in God...

Please stop making **** up NP.

I think all of us, liberal, republican, libertarian, democrat, socialist, fascist, black, white, yellow, blue, can set aside our differences and all agree that NavyPride is a moron.

If I am making it up then how do you explain the fact that 86% of the people in this country and only 55% in DP do?

I really don't care what people like you think about me............The main thing is the close to 60 friends on my list don't feel that way. I just wish there was a way to restrict kids from joining DP.... I truly believe the name calling would be down and the rhetoric much more civil...

When I see question like this, I wish infraction points could be doled out to the questioner. Give yourself points.

That's because you do no analysis. Ever. You just assume what you want.

Does "God" include Gods? Does spirituality fall under God? Does a belief in mother nature equate to God? Does the universe in its self organizing structure fall under God?

Would that include NP's constant refering to people who do not agree with him,"libs" and "lefties".even though they have never identified themselves as either?

Not exactly. I am stating it as a fact.

If so, that's an interesting theological concept.
Click to expand...

Perhaps even more interesting is that it is precisely the inability of dogs and cats to form theological concepts of any sort that allows them this perception.

The price we paid for eating from the Tree of Knowledge was that a veil was thrown over own such perception. Now, most of us have to take it on faith that G-d exists.

How about those who hold positions more Conservative then he does?

If you disagree with Navy pride on anything, including how Socialist Healthcare known as TRICARE needs to be less Socialist, you're a leftist. I'll let you ponder just how insane that is.

They are when you define "far lefty" to mean "anyone who disagrees with my point of view."

Who is seen as "left" or "right" depends on a whole host of unrelated issues.

So frickin what.
Is everyone supposed to give up their individuality so that they can more like you and your buddies?"
Are you guys part of the "Borg Collective"?
Are you guys going to rampage throughout this forum screaming out "Resistance is Futile!You will all be Assimulated!"?

I'll be leading the Resistance screaming out "Assimulation is Futile,You will be Resisted!".

This coming from someone who constantly labels people who disagrees with you ,"libs" and "lefties".
Whats your suggestion for the lowest age limit allowed here,..50,60 years old?

Owning a dog and having been owned by several cats, I'm inclined to think you might just be correct. I doubt many religious leaders would agree, but it does make sense.

Anything more conservative than him is venuring into fascist territory.

Who asked the question? Hmmm? NP right? Which God do you think he means? Anyone who needs to analyze that is being willfully ignorant.

If Congress as a whole wants to indulge in fantasies then at least that one is more constructive than most of their fantasies. When we start paying bureaucrats by the hour to indulge in such games that's where I draw the line.

The Ten Commandments are there as laws, not as Christian laws - or aren't you aware that Moses was not a Christian.

I don't say 'Under God' when I pledge. I once heard someone recite it 'Under Satan'. Does that make you mad?


As for it being on our money, I think that's a mistake because it's a major violation of church and state to continue printing it that way - but the Fed might do it for another reason. They've talked about changing the color and the world-wide polls always come back to keep the Greenback. Maybe 'In God We Trust' is the same kind of issue.
In passing: There is no conflict to what I personally believe about God. I sometimes do trust in what I call 'God'. :shrug:
