I have thought about it and come to a conclusion. I think people who make religion (an unproven BELIEF-in my eyes) everything and an extremely important part of who they are are simply weak.
If you are going to base your vote on The Bible or Quran, I might as well base my vote on Sleeping Beauty. They all are just fairy tales after all. People who go that into religion and let it interfere with their life and reality are just weak minded and I feel so sorry for them.
And 80% of Americans disagree with you. Do you really think you're smarter than all them?
Personally, I think all religion is about people trying to calm their fears. That doesn't mean I think it's stupid.
No, I'm not trying to change your mind - there is no reason for me to. I'm merely trying to let you know that most people - of all political persuasions, will vote, in part, based on the religious / moral values - not "logic".
But, trying to get you to change your mind - No.
What Ms. TLV also fails to understand is that everyone's logic is not like hers. Even when you take religion/morals out of the equation entirely.

It isn't the conservatives that have been pushing the whole "we need to be tolerant of diversity" stuff that liberals are famous for. Of course, the "diversity" that many liberals embrace is only the superficial type of diversity (skin color, sexual preferences, etc.) and not diversity of viewpoints. I, as a conservative, am very tolerant of the fact that people here in the US have divergent viewpoints. That does not mean that I'm going to blindly accept those viewpoints as equally valid as my own as I strongly feel that some viewpoints that have been promoted by the left are harmful or have caused harm to our nation.
