Because its political in nature, notice I did not say a particular religion, just religion.

People would not vote for Mitt because he was Mormon, people will not vote for Obama because he is a man, and people will not vote for McCain becuase he is old. People are just prejudice for the good or bad, your point is not very valid IMHO.

Governments have come and gone over the centuries and will continue to do so.  Believing in a god or all gods has had no effect on how long they were in power.  Except that in many cases, they used religion to keep their people in check.

"Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful."

Seneca the Younger

I believe that Albert Einstein said it best:

"A man's ethical behavior should be based effectually on sympathy, education, and social ties; no religious basis is necessary. Man would indeed be in a poor way if he had to be restrained by fear of punishment and hope of reward after death."

The USSR was felled by Communism, not Atheism. 

China has a better economy than we do and we owe them trillions of dollars.

I think someone has a crush on drummer72.

Our country has declined very quickly in the past year alone and that had nothing to do with religion. It has more to do with a spend and lower taxes conservative. If he was a true christian though then why is he so pro death penalty? Why did he send troops to fight a nation based on a lie? Bush has killed more Americans than Al Queda has in their entire history but he is a man of religion.

So its Bush over there laying out road side bombs and IED's?  Are you really that stupid?  What is with you people thinking that America is at its end?  Yes oil has gone up.  Yes, the housing market has declined.  Don't act like these things have never happened before.  With housing going up so quickly, it was just a matter of time before it went down.  And before too long, no matter who is president, it will start to go back up.

I do agree that Bush is a tax cut and spend guy.  I am all for lower taxes, but that means you have to cut spending, something him and Congress don't seem to understand, and they are both responsible for it.

I'm a firm believer in what Marx was trying to accomplish. He was funny, always had a cigar in his mouth and was very suave with the ladies. Although it has been said, that Harpo was the womanizer. 

By the way, I'm married...

if one is a man of God, he doesn't need porn. God gave us hands for a reason. If you don't use them to fight, you need to use them to release tension other ways.

Are you really that stupid to think we went to war over WMDs? The war was unnecessary and a total scam, Sadam was no threat to us.

I agree with you here and largely blame uninformed americans that watch the news too much. The news is not informative they have become a form of entertainment. People think they are informed but instead they are being fed fear every evening on the news.

This is true.
