That's the sort of sick thinking religion brings to some. A mind virus that interferes with all reasonable understanding. Here it is in all its glory, the pious infection of religion excusing a conscience into believing an imaginary so called sin against a make-believe deity is worse than...

In as far as a Christian, or a religiously grounded Constitution goes, - same as America, none of them have one. So just what is your point exactly.

It is clear as far as the Constitution and Declaration of Independence is concerned, there is No difference between the Christian derived principles of government and Islamic derived principles of government, as neither are mentioned in it.

....lol, but Vehn is correct . If we weren't always a secular nation then we would have been a theocratic one. We were never a theocracy. That would be just nonsense and too ridiculous to argue. When some of those preambles were being written, soon after, Babtists were running to...

....nor Christian anywhere

Lucrum, No mention of Christian - anywhere. The word God is not the word Christian. The word God which is mentioned, includes Allah , Bhuvaneshwari, Yahweh , Thor etc etc but not "Christian".

The "Christian Nation" propaganda has no real grounding. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/JvywhmK6Bhw&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed...

Bob asks you where Bobby-Joe is so he can go get your 10k, but when he gets there Bobby-Joe whacks Bob on the spot , takes his wallet and watch, calls you up, tells you he just whacked Bob and you owe him 20k. He'll call on you in 3 days. You know Bobby-Joe follows Kant so you tell the Cops to...

Kant's categorical imperative requires the absolute response in all circumstances. According to his philosophy and it is fundamentally that true morality is not subjective and therefore for example, you must tell the truth when asked, because truth telling is inherently good. What is...

geez, so touchy , and completely incapable of substantiating anything you say. Yea right, you have a good idea of what you're speaking of.

Are you aware of what Kant's Categorical Imperative is? A clue in the word Categorical. Not modified or restricted by reservations. You are describing something there which is not Kant's Categorical Imperative, but a subjective decision you made given known circumstances. That is not...

According to what Kant says it is binary or "priori" and its' God's law. Finn appears to agree... So Without a God, all so-called 'morality' are purely subjective judgments of human actions. and then like Kant also did , when he actually thought about it, must recant ... I'd say that's...

Kant would be torn to shreds these days. Do you think it moral to tell a murderer where his target is because it is God's Law that you tell the truth when asked. The dude was certainly not before his time.

Hi Barth My point is Phylogenetic Tree of Life is all those things in part and some in whole. The many Religious Trees of Life are none of those things at all. My point generally is horizontal gene transfer evidence is overwhelmingly compelling, especially so when set beside the sheer...

...yeah that ought to do it.. let's all rely on a 2000 year old fictitious dead jewish zombie who managed to get himself nailed to a piece of wood for no real reason.

...but religion IS ridiculous. Maybe it should be renamed Religiclous.

...it already happened. There is the Phylogenetic Tree of Life, tested , verified, proven. Then there are the Genesis Trees of Life and Knowledge, which of course, are not.

MGB, That appears a false dichotomy. Religion/Christianity in the Western world was subjected to the rigors of both the Reformation and the Enlightenment, directing Western nations into Secular government. Islam was not. Islamic countries, except Turkey, are Theocratic. People really...

You left your gun at home?

I should explain , I don't disagree with the point that existence is not homogenous . Things don't exist in the same manner, in that way existence can be said to differ in form, kind,etc. But every thing has existence. So you could say in that second context existence is uniform. That is...
