Oh, is that why you choose it? Good to know.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It is easy to ignore someone else getting screwed but it sure hurts when they are the ones getting the bat shoved up from where they were talking out of initially.
Wow. I am getting vulgar. It must be time to hang up my computer. I am less vulgar in the morning.

Why should children expect an inheritance?
You sound like a spoiled brat. Are you a chronic victim?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Given these times of competing ideologies and belief systems, including atheism, can you think of a better mind set?
If so, share it my friend.

It is not the expectations that should come to mind. It is how an adult will sit back and even let his own mother get robbed without lifting a God damn finger.
Thanks for not getting it. Try thinking like a guy who would have been the 4th generation on that farm.
Never mind.
I will take your mothers address though seeing as how you would not give a damn if I went and defrauded her.

I guess the only question occurs if one is proposing that we extend the definition of fraud such that it covers certain religious claims. Is that what you are suggesting? Extending the definition of fraud to cover religious claims would appear to be one way that the government could deter religious confidence schemes. But I'm not suggesting it is a good idea. When it comes to religion, so long as the government doesn't sanction one over the others, I think it best to leave it alone. For most people, most of the time, religion doesn't really do much actual harm.
Wow. Quite the conclusion given 5,000 years of war thanks mostly to religion.
I guess that you have not noticed the homophobia and misogyny that is still rife in the world thanks again, mostly to religions.
I guess that you do not have any gays or women in your family. If you did, they would slap you silly as they have been discriminated against without a just cause by religions forever and are religions longest running victim.
And I have not even mentioned Inquisitions, Jihads and Holy wars.

You do you, but..to me, choosing some religion (or trying to decide which one was The Best Religion™ ) on the basis that it has "esoteric ecumenist leanings" seems absurd. Why would it even matter whether it did or didn't..and how do you choose between religions in that subset?

Why would it even matter whether it did or didn't..and how do you choose between religions in that subset? Easy, because being an esoteric ecumenist, I can choose the best rules and laws to live by regardless of the religion or ideology, including atheism, and always end with the best ideology because it takes the best rules regardless of where they come from.
What could possibly be better than that, in terms of mind set?

Easy to say when you do not refute anything with an argument against the premise. Go away small minded fool.

DL Are you aware that you can do all of that without choosing any religion at all?
If that's the goal..though, the choice to be a gnostic christian becomes even more mystifying. Are you entirely sure that you know what gnostic christianity was..........?
Perhaps you could provide a very brief summary of what the gnostic christian belief set entails, as you see it?
