/grin..
what a whacky idea.... people getting along with each other.
you know they nail people to lumber for this kind of thinking, right?
Yeah I know Nagel. How dare I think people could get along regardless of faith or ideas.
I guess I'll be burned at the stake.

nah.. anericans never had the guts to go that far.. drowned, maybe.. or crushed under huge stones or hung.. but never burnt...
I've seen that bumper sticker. Right next to one proclaiming "It's YOUR hell-YOU burn in it" and right above one saying "Never mind world peace-Visualize using your turn signal."
Sounds very New Age to me. I'll just punch your ticket to hell in advance of Bill's rant. You're welcome.

None of those sound so good, but better than burning.

Thanks Crusty, it saves time. LOL
There is a society where persons of all faiths, or no faith live together with little friction. That, of course, is the US of A. Took a couple of hundred years to expand the frontiers of acceptance. Most of the world is still working on it. Been working on it for several thousand years.

i suppose this is true... as long as your only definition of ' friction' is activly trying to kill each other and ignore yelling screaming bickering and telling each other they are going to hell.
hey B.... i acctually saw this sticker on the rear window of a car today on tuscaloosa street as it was pulling out of a parking spot bear the wine seller.. my wife saw it and i was able to use your post to explain to her what it meant.
so thanks you made me look smart to the missus
what she don't know won't hurt her
In comparison with gulags, death camps, inquisitions, Crystal Night, French Revolution, and everyday life in the Middle East, Hell Yes!
You've just described some family reunions and camp meetings.

That's true enough!

LOL I love the turn signal one. Gotta have it!
There are lots of people who will never "get this" because they are always right and YOU are always wrong. It's sad really.
We scream and bicker over politics and sports as much as religion in the good ole USA. Like interventor said we're pretty tame compared to the rest of the world.
True enough. People kill every day in some places in the name of religion(a god).
and there are parts of the world that try their best to burn their home cities down to celebrate a victory in soccer or hockey.. look what just happened to vancouver recently...
if you think phelps and bill talking abotu how much god hates g ay people is insane, remember there are people who think setting fire to overturned cop cars is a good way to enjoy winning the world cup.
and we thought fundies were crazy... at least they don't run riot and burn cars when their preacher really fires them up on sunday mornings....
I agree Nagel. I think the word we are looking for here is "Extremist".
People are strange. - Jim Morrison
Science is not a religion.
Bill and/or other morons will come back and say it is, but that's their way of trying to denigrate science by equating it with their superstition.
I'm willing to coexist, as long as the religious acknowledge that atheism is a valid, defensible, respectable point of view.

Adot,
The time has simply come for religion to fade away. There is a reason why atheism is the fastest growing school of thought on religion in America today.
Science and reason don't know everything, but religion doesn't know anything.
