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?

Why should they be stopped? they are just doing what their god wants, or they say.

I have watched the video, nothing new, and I don't believe I came from any ape. I believe there is a GOD, i just don't believe in most of the ideas man has about GOD. and I know we don't need to be stopping these people.
GOD BLESS AMERICA AND ALL THAT DEFENDS HER..

Welcome my friend to a new era. Where any and everything that is Christian must be stomped out. Even in America. That type of thinking is spreading like wild fire. I wonder how long it will be before we are put in consentration camps. Though I cant see that day coming soon, I never thought I'd see this day. So I gotta wonder really how far off it is.

I have no problems with any religion, but these are brainwashing camps. This is straight-up child abuse. It's terrible. How can we consider ourselves a freethinking rational society if we are preparing our children for holy wars. These people belong in Iran, not the U.S. We are not a theocracy. I feel so sorry for these kids...

Thank you very much.

The unfortunate thing with many so-called 'Christians' is they forget what Christ actually said.

As Ghandi said "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

You sir are insane. Freethinking society my ass. Whats so freethinking about forcing evolution down the throats of children? With no room for any other Ideas? Whats so freethinking about scientists, who trash other scientists views that might be different than theres? So now, believing in the bible makes you a supporter of theocracy? I feel sorry for you, and if you have any, your kids. BTW what holy war was being supported?

It's in the Bible. Matthew 5:39-47

39: But I say to you, Do not resist one who is evil. But if any one strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also;
40: and if any one would sue you and take your coat, let him have your cloak as well;
41: and if any one forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
42: Give to him who begs from you, and do not refuse him who would borrow from you.
43: "You have heard that it was said, `You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.'
44: But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,
45: so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
46: For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
47: And if you salute only your brethren, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

It's really too bad that someone who labels himself 'Preacherman' knows so little about the teachings of Jesus.

LOL, not one of those scriptures says to tolerate sin. Nor does it say that he wont punnish the wicked he speaks of in these scriptures. All hes saying is vengance belongs to him, not us. Jesus told his disiples to go to every house and spread the good news. And if they are rejected, to wipe the dust from there feet, and move on to the next house, "for worse will it be for that house, than the cities of sodom and gamora". Doesnt sound to tolerant to me. He also speaks highly of the first church in revolations for Trying those who claimed to be of him, and found them to be liers. Jesus preached love, not tolerance. Show me a example of Jesus tolerating sin.
