Another irony meter, down the tubes.

In fact I’m an atheist.

I have no illusions about either of us changing the other’s mind on any of these issues. I suggest we both tend to our respective readerships, rather than wasting time and energy arguing our respective inflexible positions to each other.

Nice sunglasses by the way, though you might think about getting rid of the black bar behind your head. Looks a little strange, like a device out of Star Wars. Seriously.

Have a nice day, Mick.

As for the Christians here, there and wherever, no, I don’t care one way or the other as long as they use their own money to push their religious agendas. Want to help kids in El Salvador? Get the money from your congregation. But when the Dobsons and Falwells and the Robertsons want to dirty the political life of this country with their arrogance and ignorance and lust for theocracy, no, not a penny. And not for any other group pushing a religious agenda along with their so-called charity. There’s a reason the founders wanted a strict separation of church and state. It’s written in blood in the history of humanity.

And the gay activists, or whatever? Let’s see, you want tax money to go to religious organizations that discriminate against gays, that revile gays from the pulpit, that preach hatred of gays, and so on, but the gays shouldn’t get any tax dollars to defend their civil rights against what amounts to government sponsored discrimination when tax dollars go to religious groups.

Hell of a position you got there, fella. Thanks for the comments. Have a nice life.

As for gay activists. Let them pay their own way. That’s fine with me. But no taxpayers money should go to their political agendas.

You don’t know much about the Christian groups helping the poor in Costa Rica and El Salvador, do you?

When you mix religion and government, people get burned at the stake. Christians tie gays to fences to die and Christians bomb abortion clinics.

You’re talking apples and oranges.
