You were responding to someone else. I honestly haven't read it before now. But it appears to be a bit misguided. The Founding Fathers never intended for church to be the only expression of religion.
Perhaps the role of the federal government has changed. And there's a reason for that. A looooooong his of states not treating their citizens equally. You know...like slavery and Jim Crow. But lots of other shortcomings at the state level, as well.

Your last statement -- could it be more open-ended. Could you state your desire to let religion to take over everything more clearly?

I think I get it now. If I said GldnRule (a misnomer, if ever there was one) is a brilliant poster, you'd say, "No, he's an idiot".

nipped for space ...
BS, but it sounds good to anti-religionist. The problem with your thinking is that it is based on majority/minority and not what is actually being done and why.


You got out of there because of the lust power ... that maybe the single biggest red flag in your entire posting career.

died and rose for our sins did it for me ... when I was nine.

Says the miserable & pathetic dude, wallowing in his world of tweaked-out obsessive compulsion.
Doing a bunch of daily drive-bys to insult and mock the Religious and their Religion, on a internet forum titled "Religion and Spirituality".
That guy Josh Duggar from the other thread...you'd have to greatly improve yourself to only be at his level of nastiness.

I'm trying to figure out how you chose your screen name.

It's a top philosophical concept...with Religious associations.
OTOH...humans are flawed...I never claimed to be nice, in fact, the opposite.
I did to him how he'd just done me...and if he wants to do it again, I'm totally cool with it.
Do you have a problem with it? Tweaked out again?
Gonna hafta (here it comes!)...Suck it up Buttercup!!!

A curious question doesn't indicate being tweaked out.

In fact, in that post you asked two questions. Perhaps you're tweaked out.

Nope. I'm on a Religion and Spirituality forum...and I am a Theist that endorses a Religion.
I couldn't imagine being so tweaked that I went onto a forum for any subject or issue and busted on that subject and those that were into it.
And then, do it every day, several times a day...for YEARS.
Now THAT'S tweaked!
It's y'alls tweakedness that I find so amusing and entertaining.
