Love that.
Used to tell my son that when he was growing up and we had to go to Home Depot, City Mill etc. and I made him come along.
“We’re on a mission from God” in the same Dan Akroyd cadence.
Hope it wasn’t blasphemous.

Man that bus was really short to your skool eh.  I just said I am agnostic.  I don't worship anything.  Much less made up human religions.  There is no religion on earth that can be 100% correct.  Look how much they have changed in the last 200 years.  Lul.  Keep worshipping false idols,  wait isn't that against some of yalls religions?  :rofl: :rofl:

Religions don't have to be 100% correct from a evidence-based viewpoint.

That's why they call it "faith."

But, we've been down that road many times, yet here you are -- still spouting the same anti-religion talking points.

For something that isn't real, you sure do spend a lot of time posting smack about it.

I don't have a temple.  Never go to church.  Belong to none,  But I do support the Satanic "Temple".  You can give money to things you are not a direct part of if you support their cause.   I've said repeatedly before if I were to pick a religion that would be it.  Thankfully in Hawaii I don't have to make that choice we are not some kooky religious state.  If I was in one of those I would have to support a religion out of necessity for my civil rights.  Hence I would join them.

Please point to a US state where you are required to choose a specific religion to have civil rights.

Back it up with something other than your beliefs and fake knowledge.

There’s a whole area of the Country known as the Bible Belt. Pro-2A but not so much civil rights in some instances.
Still completely disagree with Omni’s statement that you’d need to join a religion to get your civil rights. You’d just need to follow theirs.
Kind of like,Democrats in Hawaii.

Back it up with something other than your beliefs and fake knowledge.

Isn’t that Religion ? Beliefs and fake knowledge ?

Everybody is lucky you vowed not to respond to me anymore.
But the last question is for everyone.

Edit:
my bad gang he said he wouldn’t respond to me anymore.
And where the fawk did he just go ? I was saying religion in the Bible Belt, and elsewhere, can dictate politics just like the Democrats can dictate politics in Hawaii.

And he’s a LIAR ! ( to use his words)

After you lied about me, I'm not answering another comment from you.


Apparently he didn’t like my like last question open to everyone cause he didn’t reply to that one.
And I think he might be off his meds.

Are you really that misinformed, or just being a Troll again?  It's really had to tell.

If you believe that about the South, then (1) you've never lived there, and (2) you're more gullible than Omni using PayPal to buy gun parts.

The Bible Belt has its name for a reason, but not the reason people usually believe/make up in their minds. 

It was first used by a journalist to identify the Southern states his commentary applied to.  There's no official definition for the term, but most agree it defined the region of the US that had the highest percentage of Protestant-derived religions, churches and regular attendees.  According to Stephen W. Tweedie, an Associate Professor Emeritus in the Department of Geography at Oklahoma State University, the Bible Belt is now viewed in terms of numerical concentration of the audience for religious television.

It's just one more tactic for people who tend to treat us all as members of classes and groups to define us.  It has nothing to do with how anyone gets treated by the state or local governments.

Funny how you believe civil rights in the South are "not so much" "Pro-" (i guess that's what you meant).  Funny how most civil rights legislation was voted into existence by Republicans, but somehow people equate the opposition with the South.  All part of the South = Slavery = Jim Crowe = No Civil Rights narrative.  In fact:

Quote
In presidential elections, the Bible Belt states of Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina,
and Texas have voted for the Republican candidate in all elections since 1980; Oklahoma
has supported the Republican presidential candidate in every election since 1968, with
Republicans having carried every county in the state in all presidential elections since 2004.
Other Bible Belt states have voted for the Republican presidential candidate in the majority
of elections since 1980, but have gone to the Democratic candidate either once or twice since
then. However, with the exception of Mississippi, historical geographer Barry Vann shows that
counties in the upland areas of the Appalachians and the Ozarks have a more conservative
voting pattern than the counties located in the coastal plains.[29]

Southern = Mostly GOP Voting Patterns = Mostly Conservative = Republican Party = Pro-Civil-Rights

I find that most people are truly ignorant when it comes to the South.  Slavery, Jim Crowe, Civil Rights marches and protests, desegregation, and so on are things of the past mostly instituted by Democrats.  Much has changed, including the people in power.

So, unlike Hawaii and a few others maybe, Democrats do not dictate the politics or laws of all states in the "Bible Belt".  Conservatives who believe in the predominate religious teachings of the South learn that everyone is equal in the eyes of God.  Sounds like a great foundation for civil rights to me.

Notice that even in Washington, DC, where only 8% of the population identifies as Evangelical Protestant followers, half of DC said that religion is Very Important.



Of course, that only looks at the religions associated with the prevalent ones in the "Bible Belt."  When you look deeper into DC:

Religion in Washington, District of Columbia
56.9% of the people in Washington are religious:
- 17.5% are Baptist
- 3.2% are Episcopalian
- 15.4% are Catholic
- 0.7% are Lutheran
- 3.7% are Methodist
- 1.0% are Pentecostal
- 1.8% are Presbyterian
- 0.1% are Church of Jesus Christ
- 7.7% are another Christian faith
- 3.0% are Judaism
- 1.7% are an eastern faith
- 0.7% affilitates with Islam

Note: almost 57% of DC residents are religious.

Looking at the US in total:

Quote
Pew Research:

Three-quarters of U.S. adults say religion is at least “somewhat” important in their lives,
with more than half (53%) saying it is “very” important.
Approximately one-in-five say religion is “not too” (11%) or “not at all” important in their lives (11%).
https://www.pewforum.org/2015/11/03/chapter-1-importance-of-religion-and-religious-beliefs/


So, when one insults people who think religion is important, you're talking about over half the people in the country. 

If Science is decided by consensus, why is Religion not?

If you look at that map the ones where religion is less important tend to be the ones that protect rights, like abortion.  Coincidence?

Again, you're repeating yourself yet again.

Find something new to say, or rest on your earlier arguments.  You feeling the need to report the same talking points signals your points are not that strong -- or else you would not feel the need to constantly post them.

Just because I bright it up and you have nothing to say doesn't make it not a valid argument.   It being a constant issue is proof of its validity.  Why do I need new arguments if the old are right.

Again, show me where you have to adhere to a specific religion to have civil rights.

Screaming "TEXAS!!" is not evidence.

The "convo" is about a specific law passed based on the SCIENCE of prenatal development, and the recognition that an embryo with a heartbeat is alive.  Nothing in the law points to any religion or religious teachings.  I read the entire law.  It's based on the FACT that after Roe V. Wade, the Texas laws that prohibit and criminalize abortion unless the mother's life is in danger were never repealed and remain on the books.  This new law seeks to define the parameters that allow an abortion in the state as well as the civil vs. criminal penalties involved to bring the statutes in line with federal law.

Also, it's "damn".

Lost me there chief. I got nothing against the South. Got friends from the South.
(No never been there except Texas, but my brother lived Kentucky and said the people are awesome )
Does religion affect their politics? Heck yeah it does. And the policies they pass.
And I’m pretty conservative.
Hawaii doesn’t matter. Just put a D next to your name on the ballot. Sam Kong proved that. His views never changed just the letter and he kicks ass.

So does your religious beliefs have to do with your political affiliation and inclination?
Christian = Republican, unless one is a charitable Christian then Democrat.
Agnostic = Democrat…..or Republican=Independent.
Buddhist = Democrat
Muslim = Democrat
Other=Democrat or Republican=independent.
There’s another question.

Pick one brah.

While they do SOME rights well and better than the democrats they really fuck other ones up.

Read a history book, Lazy.

The Republican Party was founded in order to end slavery.  I think that beginning should cast the proper light on the rest of the party's beliefs from then on.

Dems:
- KKK
- Jim Crowe
- School Segregation
- Opposed nearly all Civil Rights legislation during the 1960s

Now, the Dems and the Media have brainwashed you and the nation into believing the Republicans are the racists.  Where's the evidence?

Why do so many people have to create fake hate crimes supposedly by Conservatives and Republicans?  Are there no actual hate crimes to use for their narratives?

Why do the Democrats continue to preach the soft bigotry of low expectations concerning Blacks and other minorities when the evidence is overwhelming that their accusations are baseless?

You need to go reread all the threads in which we discussed race and party politics.  If you truly believe Republicans are the racists, you're just a fool, plain and simple.

Senator Robert Byrd of W. Virginia was the oldest living and longest serving Democrat in Congress before his death.  He was also a Grand Wizard in the Ku Klux Klan.  Oh, and he was a lifelong Democrat.  He died in June 2010 at age 92.
