Survey: Americans Prefer A Gay President Over An Evangelical

 

I prefer gay basketball players over evangelical ones also.

 

Now this is what I call Good News.

 

Brothers if you could give me your email I'd like to share the good news with you. Pls repond.

 

I think folks would be alot of more accepting of religion if terrible people didnt use it as an excuse to do terrible things to other people.

 

As scientific knowledge expands, myths become less accepted. You can't have obviously ridiculous stories as the absolute word of your god and expect to retain any respect for your deity (without coercion).

Scientific knowledge and social philosophies shouldn't be combined. It's strange to me that in thousands of years, no basic philosophy reveals any universal truths about living this human life with purpose, peace and peace of mind, and achieves any widespread acceptance. I guess we are still instinctual animals.

I wish Gene Roddenberry had started a movement instead of L. Ron Hubbard.

 

So much for the liberal line that America I'd full of racists and homophobes and we need to be more like Europe

 

It says 6 out of 10 which means 4 out of 10 wouldn't rather have a gay leader. 40 percent is more than the number of republicans in this country, so I'm still pretty sure America has it's fair share of homophobes.

 

So if you would rather have an evangelical President, you're a homophone?

Wow.

 

I'm with Mr. clutch here. That poll choice is like a double whammy to post gays and evangelicals lol. Fallacious poll.

 

There will be no place for religion once the singularity comes to fruition. Man and machine will finally become one and the same and our evolution will become so rampant it will make comparing 2000 to 2050 like comparing The Dark Ages to now.

 

I for one, will worship our robot overlords

 

and there still won't be flying cars.

 

. . . .now they will simply find something else
most likely science

If you can 'scientifically' prove something now .. . . people don't question it

Evil people are evil
the tools they use to do evil are irrelevent

Christianity has allowed itself to be hijack by charlatans and false prophets for profit
The most hateful and shameful among them . .. are not christians but people taking advantage of the faithful

I also think . . .. . to an extent . . . . we have alot more anti-christian input nowadays than ever. Not hard to find the Christian villian in a movie . . . the Christian lampooned in the show . . .etc etc .. . . .loosely translated their PR sucks nowadays

It will be interesting to see how this plays out

If the trend continue, unaffiliated would become the majority @ ~40% of the population in the 2030s.

Technology will accelerate the trends.

Until recently I rarely heard of someone opening saying I'm agnostic, in a household full of devoted Christians nevertheless.

Good news is, less religious driven agenda that are negative to society progressing.

Bad news is, less leveraging of all the good moral teachings and there is an unknown of what drive the unaffiliated. I hope it's more about being educated and gaining insights into their own mind and what make them truly happy.

 

I believe that as long as people have a partially unified moral code and a belief in rule of law, then it shouldn't be such a bad thing.

Albert Einstein was a Jew and countless other people with "scientific knowledge" practice religion. Not sure what scientific knowledge has to do with religion, but go ahead and believe whatever out-dated theories you have.

 

Of course if you criticize Islam you're being irresponsible and should expect to be attacked

 

I has wombats trapped under my toenails....

Ohhh meow.... please help me free the teeth in my nose
