    Should liars be voted in?

    The U.S. just had an example of that and it is costing many American's their lives.

    I hear you, and do as you say for myself, but here, I go after the literalists as they are the ones who really need correcting.

    They are the homophobes and misogynous that plague humankind.

    Are you asserting that religion caused the war simply because a nation involved in it was religious, or do you have an explanation as to how religion played a role?

    Most typically, the cold war is considered to have been a match between capitalism and communism. Neither is commonly considered a religion.

    Yet holding an ideology is all that is requires to call ones beliefs a religion.

    If you have not heard of statism, -----

    Fascism had a role via Hitler's use of the Vatican Bank and the Vatican that helped Hitler's top brass escape.

    Yay for Catholics/Christian fascists. Not.

    OK, if capitalism and communism are two examples of 'religions', and belief in anything constitutes 'religion' then I suppose its true that 'religion' tends to cause wars.

    However, I don't think a planet full of nihilists is going to be any less violent. The wars would prolly be smaller but more frequent.

    Banks were no less culpable in the statism, violent persecution of competing 'religions' and political manifest destiny of Soviet Russia. In many cases, it was 'Western' banks, corporations and foundations bankrolling both sides.

    I don't know and cannot speculate as the world will never be full of people who believe that life is meaningless and rejects all religious and moral principles.

    I do not think I know any nihilists.

    I do know many Christians who follow poor moral principles though, thanks to their lying preachers.

    I would not call the fascist Vatican Bank a Western Bank. A fascist Italy and Rome would not like it either.

    I do agree that Western banks funded WWII. They made sure they would come out ahead of the East before letting the U.S. join in the fighting. That is how the U.S. grew it's military complex. They squeezed the rest of the allies till they could squeeze no more wealth out of them.

    To the winner goes the spoils, and the U.S. made sure that there were many spoils for itself.

    not exactly, ideology by itself does not qualify for religion.

    I haven't done anything like genocide. See how the liberal mind ceases logic and reasoning and runs to hateful uncontrollable emotional bashing. If you are not an atheist then you are what you claim me to be. See, as we see what's going on in the Middle East right now with many Muslim countries laying down their weapons and joining with Israel in peace. While the hateful left in many countries ridicule the peace makers like Trump and Netanyahu. Get Biden in there and stir up more hate in the Middle East.

    Yes....... I think that the people around Biden take Liberalism and turn it into a 'religion" in a manner that is nearly as dogmatic as the mind set behind the Spanish Inquisition.

    I get the vibe that Ms. Harris could be even scarier than Hillary in some important ways if she is given great power........!?

    You sure advocate for the prick of a god that used it. Often.

    Be proud.

    What are you talking about - El Saud has not laid down its weapons - have you not heard of Yemen ? Oh .. but they are making nice with Israel .. what a laugh - while children are taught in school to hate Christians and Jews.

    Taliban, Al Qaeda, ISIS, Boko Haram, Al Shabaab, the Mujahadeem and offshoots in all the various ex soviet Stans - the extremists in Pakistan and India.

    ALL - follow the same Extremist Islamist Saudi Inspired ideology. Saudi Arabia has been exporting this ideology all over the world for decades - as well as supporting and arming these groups.

    Or is it only blessed Israel you care about -- because your Pastor Told you so.

    "laying down arms" what arms .. Since when have these nations waged war on Israel in the 3rd millennium ?

    He imagined it?

    "Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other."

    John Adams

    Adams pacifying the masses. The constitution is for all people - but is a product of sound morals - and the Golden Rule - which is a religious teaching.

    Adams did not have kind words for Christianity though .. and the founding principles are secularism - separation of Church and State .. no law made on the basis of religious belief.

    Other than this .. the Gods of all are welcome.

    Laughed at that.

    How could immoral religious people even know how to write a moral constitution?

    You are correct though that moral people today would not write the constitution the way the American one is.

    That is why many want a new one.

    What about them?

    What was on Hitler's army's belt buckle?

    God is with us, --- I think.

    How long has the religious been the vast majority and why do you just see recent history instead of the big picture?

    She's definitely with the Omar's and AO-C fascist group in Congress and will stop all peace efforts Trump has put into place. She's a wicked woman.

    I believe in a relationship with God, the Creator, and the Savior, not religious depictions of God.

    You might get on topic.

    Who is your god and what is your relationship to it?

    Please tell me you are not getting personal with the genocidal prick Yahweh.
