You rock, Daniel Redmond.

I totally agree with you that any religion, if officially sanctioned by a governing body, would result in the destruction of our Democracy,and the myth that our Founding Fathers were devout Christians is one that needed dispelling. Thank you. Deb, you should start weening yourself off of Fox News and the Bible before it's to late for you. The more one prattles on about how their God is a God of love and peace and tolerance ultimately wants everyone to "feel the love" and by pain of death if that's what it takes.

Do you really think that you want a Protestant theocracy in the United States? Have you read Leviticus and Deuteronomy FOR REAL? If so, you are deluded. All theocracies, from the Holy Roman Empire to Iran and Saudi Arabia have proven that it won't all be Kumbayahs and prayer beads, girlfriend, but burnings at the stake (yes the protestants did it too), witch trials, dungeons, torture and banishment. Free yourself from this crazy nonsense. Expand your mind. I think that there might be something out there bigger than us, too, but I don't think "it" cares about the beastly, petty intrigues of humans, and if it did, I would steer clear of "it." Just like I steer clear of beastly, petty people.
