Isnt' the danger of religion too apparent now?

Look at all the people who put rationality under the rug and vote based on their superstitious, primitive beliefs. How can this be healthy for a society? If we are to evolve shouldn't we at last stamp out the more crude, backwards religions like southern baptist, etc?

Not to mention all the irrational hatred religion creates towards gays and minorities.

Tempting...but it wouldn't be proper. The right to free speech is the ultimate civil liberty. You must take the good with the bad.

No that would be wrong. But they should pass an amendment making English the official language of our nation.

Yes prop 8 won, you lost, and because you lost, you now want to discredit, call names, and quiet people that disagree with you. [mod cut]

So if we passed a law saying you can't marry who you love, you wouldn't do the same?

All I'm arguing is equal treatment for both sides. why is that too much? Why are you so hateful?
