Re: Why We Should Be Scared of Evangelicals

"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People For the American Way, all of them who have tried to secularize America. I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'" -Jerry Falwell, in reference to the 9-11 attacks

Is this Truth? I'm sorry, but I get rather offended when someone implies that I helped cause planes to fly into buildings.

I'm all for you being able to believe whatever you want to believe. What I'm against is you saying that your god set down rules that I have to obey. If you want to meet nose to nose, then you'll have to allow that I don't necessarily believe in all the same things you believe in and that I might not want pray to the same god as you (I may not even want to pray at all!).

I don't have any problems discerning right from wrong and I don't even have any help from a god. Honestly, is the Bible the only thing that is keeping you from raping, stealing, murdering, etc?
