    Not always. I recently turned down a management position when i found out how many hoops i had to jump through to fire bad employees.

    Wrong! Atheism is your religion.. it is impossible for a human to be without a religion.. most people's religion is simply whatever pleases them.

    I would address this. When Progressives speak of "rights" they speak of taking away something from some people and giving it to others. Often for votes as in the debate last night. Conservatives think of rights as God-given entities as the Founders envisioned where rights are things that come naturally unless violated by aggressors or government. Everything you speak of the "enlightenment of Europe" takes something away from one group and gives it to someone else by a mandate of government. We are not Europe. If you want several weeks vacation time, save up and provide it for yourself. It is a flaw of human nature to think someone else needs to provide it for you. That is the flaw of Socialism. No understanding of human nature.

    Atheism is not a religion. Atheism and religion are both subsets in a broader category ... BELIEF. So they are closely related, just not the same.

    Atheism is the belief that creation is just happenstance and the value of mankind exists only in our minds. It is a belief. Religion doesn't have to be spiritual.

    By and large religion is belief in a deity or deities. Regardless it is a belief. Atheism is belief there are no deities. Both are beliefs. The deity connection binds them together.

    You could say that. I prefer to call it what it is.

    Faith based belief. Everything everyone believes is faith based. At the very lesst one must have faith that their observations are worthy of belief.

    In reality, there is no god and rights are what we as a society define and agree upon them to be.

    Huh. So is not collecting coins a hobby?

    Maybe now you see your arrogance.

    No. What you're citing here is worker protections.

    Btw, you can thank unions for things like overtime and sick pay.

    Couldn't be more wrong.

    Rights of individuals are vastly more important than the rights of society as a whole. Without individual rights society has no rights.

    If you have chosen not to decide you have still made a choice.

    Society cannot take away my rights...they come from God.
    "We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal. That we are endowed by our Creator with certain, unalienable rights."
    That is the creed of my Nations Founders and I stand on it. That is also why we have a second amendment.....not for hunting or sport..... it is for when your secular ideas get out of control!

    Protecting those who do not deserve it at the expense of those who do.

    Unions played a very important role in labor relations back in the day. I have witnessed first hand both the good and the bad.

    You have one right, the right to leave. That is sufficient. Everything else can and should be a matter of negotiation between the employer and the employee.

    A worker who's unhappy at his or her job has the right to quit.

    Well, I don't want to go back to the days of little children working in factories for fourteen hours per day.

    Workers don't deserve fair pay? They don't deserve compensation for work-related injuries?

    I didn't say anything about collecting coins. I was talking about not collecting coins.

    You said atheism is a religion. I jokingly compared this to claiming that not collecting coins is a hobby.
