Senator Mike Gravel on the Oppressive Nature of Religion
Loading...
Uploaded by gravel2008 on Jan 26, 2008
One question that seems to embarrass all Presidential candidates is the question on Evolution. Some refuse to recognize its existence as a legitimate theory and prefer to let religious beliefs dictate their political message. Others refuse to discuss or advocate for the views of atheists, merely because they represent a minority of voters.
In this video, Sen. Gravel discusses his thoughts on evolution, creationism, and ultimately, the inherent oppression associated with religion and its marriage to the state.
"There is nothing which can better deserve our patronage than the promotion of science and literature. Knowledge is in every country the surest basis of public happiness."
George Washington, 1790

@AUSM92 . i did great piece of work. still. the only reason it has been ineffective is because it has been ignored.. but when people stand up for it. then it becomes effective

@AUSM92 right however it doesnt negate the constitution and more people need to read up on it and stand up for the most important and brilliant document ever written
-
@AUSM92 which is why there is supposed to be seperation of church and state. we have the reich wing taking over the gov. which is unconstitutional and why we have these nut jobs trying to rewrite the constitution and twisting the hell out of it just like they did the bible..
