is it the number we have grown to? is it posters in trenches? is it that we are intolerant because of the intolerant society we suddenly find ourselves in?

youngred is one of our young people--y'know, hope for the future.

1. Do Americans really want a secular state?

Not that it matters much what "Americans" want. If the regime decrees, it will be a Christian Reconstructionist republic and anybody who disagrees better hope they look good in an orange jumpsuit and like mosquitos.

4. I don't understand the bashing of religions,

but I don't understand all the religious folks always having their panties in such a wad.

I personally see all religions as the same - all superstiton, no one more or less valid than the other (though I find some have more postive teachings than others)

So I try to ignore the "so-and-so religion members are idiots" threads. You can tell by the title that they are stupid.

Just hit the alert button and move on.

5. What does that have to do

with the reasons why we lost a valued poster?

2. I can understand the feelings.

Not just intolerance, either. Anger, bitter words toward others. I realize a lot of it is from those who come here to do just that, but not all.

It should be a welcome place, not one in which the stupid threads on attacking each others' candidates and religions take place.

I can understand.

3. I'm also a young person.

Some of the stuff I've been reading on this board has been so unbelievably intolerant it's made me sick. :eyes:

6. Yah know...

I see some of that to. But if they don't post how can we help them to see that they may want to think about the way they treat others?
