    Well science starts with a hypothesis. From there you try to prove it. I suppose you have to have faith that the hypothesis is correct but science in no way is "faith based". It is about proving or disproving the hypothesis. Science is a work is progress however, which is the very nature of it.

    Wrong. The Constitution only prevents the establishment of a national religion and guarantees the freedom to practice any religion.

    There’s no separation of government and religious ideas.

    HA! Nah man, I just find religion to be dangerous. Believe whatever you want to but keep it to yourself and do not try to make other people conform to your beliefs.

    You only need to be able to read to know that is not in the Constitution but was construed by a liberal court.

    My lord what a right-winged talking point bringing up the KKK being created by democrats. During the civil rights movement there was a paradigm shift and the racist south became republican. At the time LBJ was quoted as saying, "We have lost the south for a generation". It has lasted longer than a generation. You need to sharpen your game and come up with your own thoughts instead of talking points if you expect to interest me. Good luck.

    Which is a clear separation of church and state.

    The constitution and a mountain of case law Dayan otherwise.

    Belief in the Dumb Luck theory of creation is a form of anti religion

    Because you made the assertion that they do. Prove it.

    This is a debate forum. You will be called out for making silly assertions.

    Atheism by definition is not a religion. The same way not playing baseball isn’t a sport.

    Are you asking why it is important to take care of your fellow man? What a spiritually bereft person you are.

    If you think religion is dangerous then you dont really mean it when you say « believe what you want »

    In fact you are working very hard to impose your religious beliefs on others

    Still not in the constitution and the only thing Jefferson had to do with it was that it came from one of his letters. Jefferson opened schools IN churches.

    Wrong. The constitution and case law only say one religion doesn’t get preference over another.

    What the constitution does forbid is crybaby liberals preventing those of us who disagree with them from voting.

    I just pruned some trees in my yard and now I may take my pistols out and do some shooting. I have a HK 9mm, Walther PPK .380 and a stainless super Blackhawk 44 mag. I really don't enjoy shooting the 44 mag but I make sure it's zeroed in at 50 yards. Great whitetail gun. Have fun and be safe!
