The founding fathers of the USA were Christians who did a pretty decent job of creating something of merit.



the fouding fathers of this country were publicized deists. i hope i spelled that right. the people that started this country came here to escape religious persecution. the problem is that you cant escape religious persecution. it is human nature to believe that you are right and to try to force your opinion of right on others. america was founded on the all encompassing idea that we are all essentially right as long as we are not interfering with someone else's ability to be right, i personally have things that i think are wrong whether that be based on religious belief or on societal morals. the one thing i feel is truely my over arching belief is that everyone else i see or dont see in this world has the right to express their own beliefs. the problem is that a society with full freedom does not function properly. thats why we have to have some group telling us what is right and what is wrong. i dont even really think it has to be a representation of the majority of thought. it just has to be a group that is willing to step up and put an order to society. man was not intended to live in a chaotic state. he was meant to have laws and rules. while these rules cannot be all encompassing and while they cannot keep the whole of population happy they are essential in keeping society held together. the great thing about mankind is that it is always changing. sooner or later enough people will get behind a new idea for how to better keep a country and its peoples together and will overthrow the current system. it is the only constant of society that everything will eventually change. i say all this because i believe it is important for us to realize who we are. we are brothers and sisters in this world. whether you believe it was God, Buddha, or nothing that created us we were all created to live together. i will do for an atheist all that i can the same way that i will do for everyone of my christian brethren all that i can. i may not believe in his choices and yes i will probably try to let him know about mine, but if he wants to believe what he wants to believe that is his right. not only was he given that right by our government but he was also given that right by every major religious text from every major religion. in all religiouns it is your job to bring the word of your faith and the job of your deity to change his/her heart. we cannot force our opinions on others. we have to let them know what we think as individuals and let them decide. untill they break the law. then the law must be upheld. but the law can be changed, if it is an unjust law or an unjust representation of public belief then it will be changed, i dont personally believe in all of the laws in this country, and i certainly dont agree with all of the politicians (bush) but i will uphold their decisionns as lawfull untill i or someone else can bring about their change. i will break a trespassing violation to jump off of an amazing cliff though. i wish that everyone in this community could have the freedom to express their opinion and then have the open mindedness to be able to put differences aside and crank out a few amazing jumps on the weekend with our brothers and sisters of the sky. blue skies to everyone. i will personally make a jump with each and everyone of you no matter your religious, sexual, relationship, or political preference. i dont care if your black, white, jew, christian, gay, bi, straight, ugly, or not.

The only bad skydive is your last!

Bull-Fucking-Shit.

I noticed you've ignored the posts that factually challenged your unfounded allegations in this thread.

Until you are able to make a remotely convincing argument regarding "equality" between the East and West, I recommend you take it easy on the "Post New" button.

Okie dokie, artichokie? Maybe it's time to sober up.
