Quote from CaptainObvious:
I would prefer if God and religion altogether were left our of our politics. It implies we are better, more deserving, and more or less, always on the side of right. That's just not true and we all know it. However, I do think you fella's on the atheist side of the argument would get more mileage without the continuing insults and disparaging remarks about God, a Creator, and such. Intelligent people can have varying and different opinions, engage in arguments for and against, without the insults to ones intellect. I'll try harder myself.
"Ridicule is the only weapon which can be used against unintelligible propositions. Ideas must be distinct before reason can act upon them; and no man ever had a distinct idea of the trinity. It is the mere Abracadabra of the mountebanks calling themselves the priests of Jesus."
-- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Francis Adrian Van der Kemp July 30, 1816, denouncing the doctrine of the Trinity and suggesting it to be so riddled in falsehood that only an authoritarian figure could decipher its meaning and, with a firm grip on people's spiritual and mental freedoms, thus convince the people of its truthfulness
