Not religious doesn't necessarily mean atheist

[Brian37]

TO ATTF47

Here is an example of a theist, I LIKE. I am not a fan of country music, but I love the message in this song. I dont like, I do not like the line in it, where she says we are all God's children. No more than I would like the claim we are all Allah's Children. WHAT I do like is her message of empathy and compassion for the working class and poor. THAT part I do like. That does not mean I am obligated to remain silent when religion is used by politicians to sell fear, or bigotry. It does not preclude me from finding value in my species CAPABILITY to have empathy. I see lots of good in my fellow humans, I just dont agree that is coming from a magic place. I LOVE THIS LADY's message. I don't think she needs a God either, but I do think she is a great lady. 

Okay Brian, message received. I respect you but you do come across as a bit of a nutter sometimes. I just felt the need to offer that feedback.

I agree about the singer. I have a thing about strong women. I don't have any use for weak-willed pretty things who want to fan me with a palm frond. The chicks who'll kick me in the balls if I piss them off are the ones who turn me on.

Blunt, yes, crazy, no.

But you still miss the message, there is no right way to be a man or a women, I am no fan of gender roles. I also don't think all men have to be beefy giant boulders nor do I think a man is weak if a women defends them. I am a fan of her attitude because what matters to me is caring for the weakest links in our society regardless of gender or race. Point being, economic equality for all does not mean no pay difference at all, just that we are a rich enough country, there should be no urban, suburban or rural poverty. Her message is lets not leave anyone behind.
