We have political dichotomy because we have a spoils system that inhibits the 3rd largest ideology from creating a discreet party.

In parliamentary democracies you can vote for any party and they combine into governing majorities in office. You choose, they compromise. In our system your job is to influence the party's ideology before the election by campaigning for a candidate you like in primaries. You compromise some and then choose. I don't think one is more democratic than the other.

You have to get used fluidity in the definitions. They are mostly not used in an exact historical sense, but rather as labels for groups who have descended and changed from previous owners of the labels. As movements splinter off, they fight over who's most entitled to the legacy.

First, this is most educated people's theology. Science plus a barely intervening God. Thank you for giving some attention to it. Now the big bang, and science in general do not answer (or attempt to) the question of why the universe was born, it's cause or purpose. It's a natural question to ask, and beyond the realm of current science. People's preference for a vague creative will behind hard reality is not dampening to progress or contrary to evidence, unlike much scripture. I say go for it.

so much preparation, so little authenticity
