    It’s not that I think that. It’s that that is what it means, as the judiciary has consistently pointed out.

    And you can't explain where god came from...other than...he's just always been there. Brilliant.

    I freely admit that I dont know where God came from

    But the enormity of the universe and the concept of eternity tell me that creation involved a superior being to ourselves

    modern religions are decreasing every year, but most people still believe in a afterlife

    I have no doubt a new religion will replace current religions someday..... as history tends to repeat

    Except you don't actually know that. You just accept it. Just as you accepted that Santa Claus was real when you were a child.

    When logic has answers that have meaning for spiritual beings such as humans.

    do you believe God is more complicated then the Universe? then why not believe a less complicated thing like a Universe always existed - rather then a jealous God always existed

    you can't have freedom of religion if the Government is pushing it's flavor of a religion

    if a Church wants to give up it's tax free status, they can participate in politics, you have to pay to play... but still Congress can pass no religious laws that favor any one religion over any other

    Many have many explanations. Everyone is entitled to his favorite.

    What unprovable beings are in Buddhism, or Tao? Confucianism is entirely about people and their proper relationships. All of those three are recognized as religions.

    What skin off your nose is it, if some bible thumpers are doing good things for their fellow man, like funding homeless shelters, food kitchens, and charitable acts of kindness and compassion, in the name of God? If the motivations that god is watching helps to motivate these people to help others, so freaking what?

    You don't need an explanation for an explanation. In other words, if we found a large dirt mound containing tools and arrowheads, it would be reasonable to deduce that men put them there, without knowing who they were or where they came from. Just like with the evidence for design, we can assume an intelligent being did it. There is more information in what Darwin thought to be a simple cell than in several sets of encyclopedia. Where have we ever seen information that wasn't put there by intelligence?
