Democratic Party drops "God" in its platform
|
Well, I believe that only parties who play for really vulgar agendas use the God factor in their platforms.
In truth, the Christian-Democrats of Europe, although still conservative, are not known to use religion as a means of gaining votes. Such things are anti-democratic, and anti-secular by default. Not to say that people ought to take a negative stance towards religion as part of their platforms, but a completely neutral stance. ![[Image: trkdevletbayraklar.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i128.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fp161%2Fazmhyr%2Ftrkdevletbayraklar.jpg) Üze Tengri basmasar, asra Yir telinmeser, Türük bodun ilingin törüngin kim artatı udaçı erti? 
I read somewhere that Clinton is the president who has mentioned god the most, ever. So this doesn't really surprise me.

He is a southern boy who thinks using the word "god" is charming, even if he uses the word god like a tissue for blowing his nose into.

One could no more formulate good public policy by taking a neutral stance on religion as one could by taking a neutral stance on murder, fraud, and gross child abuse. 
Gee. You mean the same way the Founding Fathers left god out of the constitution?
How very interesting.

Sorry Chuck, although I would rather live in a world without religion (and I do to the best of my ability), what you're saying here is that religion is equal to murder, fraud and child abuse, and you'd see fit to actively tell people what to think and that religion is just as much a crime as these things. This is fucking stupid.

Minor quibble about this obscure herbivore sect or that aside, If you think religion won't commit murder, fraud, and child abuse whenever it could get away with it in order to tell other what to think, you are fucking stupid. And in the long run, those acts themselves would by no means be the most damaging consequences of religion upon mankind. RE: Democratic Party drops "God" in its platform
