Okay, You got me. I'm the evil guy destroying Christianity in America.
I've got this nutty idea about keeping religion out of... Well, everything except your personal space. It's YOUR religion, not mine. I don't want it, thank you very much.

I want my kids to go to school and learn the "Three R's" and a little bit of science. They can explore other beliefs on their own or with my tutelage. WITHOUT an authority figure telling them superstitions should be considered as science.

I really like that line "separation of Church & State." I'll fight like the people who fought for that very thing over two hundred years ago to keep that line in the forefront of our political/legislative conscious.

I'm tired of this huge majority crying they are being discriminated against when there's a Christian Church on every corner, a Christian President (for over 200 consecutive years), and a zillion hours of Sunday broadcasting of church services and evangelical whores begging for money on our airwaves every week.

I guess that makes me the bad guy, the "evildoer" or the antichrist to these people. These people that declare they know from conversations with imaginary beings that only they know the path to enlightenment. These people that enjoy vilifying and condemning those with different views...

They're bringing me down... Down to their level... They've put my back against the wall...

And that's why I am what I am today.

An unbeliever who will do his best to maintain the sanctity of a society that will allow law and life without regard to race, color or religion.

3.  we speak in words
your more than that, don't live in the world of words, these are man things and have can't go beyond the boundries of man, But if you are man made then so are you bounded. man comes before his words. We are that what is. I refer to as GOD, thats all.

5. Well as a Christian
I'd say you might be helping to save Christianity, not destroying it.

That bunk that's being peddled as Christianity by a small but extremely loud minority needs to be countered. So good for you.

Keeping gov't and religion separated helps gov't, but also helps those who wish to practice religion freely. So good for you there, too.

6. We can all get along!
It's just a question of boundaries and respect...

Oh, yeah and the virtue humility that's being touted as a sin today (see pride).
