They think (wrongly) that if they call their religion not a religion, then it's OK to force it into government.
I don't think they're that crafty
maybe the lawyer politician types, but for most I think it has to do with the utter distaste of formal religion. Thank the Catholics, for that. Oh and televangelists. Plus if you're your own religion you get to disown the whackadoos who do stuff in gods name, deny the crap you can't explain in the Bible, feel all right that you dont go to church, fail to pay that god tax called tithe, all while still claiming god and your fellow dupees in the same breath.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
