Religion What is your take on religion? Do you base your thoughts in life according to your religion? Do you feel that religion should be kept out of Government and Politics?

San Diego had to deal with local atheists who wanted to have the Mt. Soledad cross removed, claiming it had to do with a separation of church and state. What the atheists refuse to realize that it is a war memorial, dedicated to the people who fought in World War II. And they still argue about it. This irritates me because I have lived in this city for 52 years, and I do not want to see the cross come because of those atheists.

They can practice what they preach, I don't care. But leave the cross alone.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. Psalm 119:105

Are Christians not guilty of the same? There are lots of facts supporting science. There are none supporting Christianity.

I agree, there are extremists on all sides. I don't think memorials should be torn down or anything of the sort, but I do think that religions should not receive government aid. And I do hope to help save as many people as possible from religion, especially the evils of the Abrahamic Religions.

Now you're sounding like an extremist.

What 'evils' are you talking about?
