@TheBelegur "Try not to be so hateful and intolerant"

You should tell this to your god, who wants to burn anyone who doesnt accept him as lord.

He started it...... :-)

[SillyTickles]

It will be a great day when America elects its first non-religious president.

It will be an even greater day when the elected president is a female. And here is why..

Females have maternal instincts that give them the ability to care for the world and its living.

But the greatest day will be when all persons of power will be non-religious females.

I am a male and I have lost respect for male leaders and the religious.

[Stovetopgoblin]

Only thing I disagree with this is that America was basically made on freedom of religion. To ban it completly would be pretty much the same as making one religion the law of the land.

@360Nomad Yeah, Ron Paul's not gonna be an option. I wish he was, but there's no way he'll win the Republican nomination.
