A Mormon President?

What an absolutely enthralling conversation you have going on here.

Why not just make a "Presidential Speedhack" out of your favorite (or least-favorite) candidate? Then, you can show everyone who you would save/destroy.

If you got lucky, some news station (or political campaigns) might even catch wind of the winning entry (or one of the runners-up) and you could get your 15 minutes of fame...

Your games would all have to have catch-phrases. I think every game needs catch-phrases. Like, "Billy, put down that flaming cat. B...Billy?!" or "Away with ye! I have peons to roast!" or "No, Timmy, dominating the world doesn't mean THAT!"

:o::);D

No, that's regular sized women. The "fashion ideal" is seriously underweight.

And it is really strange, because no one has ever seen anything remotely close to proving even the slightest bit of any religion as true. Which means that humans are not really logical, even with all the sciences and other stuff that has been invented.

If I was a US citizen, I would vote for any party that promised equal opportunities for all instead of promoting their own agenta, even if their religion was totally opposite to mine. What the Earth needs is less injustice, not more religion.

Every candidate promises equal opportunity but follows thier own agenda when elected. They run because they want to change things to be more favorable to them, and they promise everything including the moon to get elected.

How about "I did not have sexual relations with that woman?"

And of course, the game would have to have nucular weapons.

I know. Get Chelsea pregnant and make Hillary win the election. You'll have a mormor president.

I can't make Hillary president, but I can... never mind.

No, religion is based on faith not logic.

The logical conclusion to which is that religious people are insane.

I've never tried to reason with you - I know full well that would be futile, as the truly devoted will never change their colors - just expose you all to any spectators as the lunatics you are. :P It's about saving those who are swaying in the middle.

The good news is that Christians in the USA are finally starting to stand up to fundamentalist creationism! :)

The topic is about religion, actually. It is about a Mormon president, i.e. it is about if religion should define politics or not.

Quote:

But the reason does not have to be a proven proposition, or something logical.

The brain works by using pattern matching. Religion is an attempt to solve the unsolvable problem of the universe's existence, and since the brain can not give a definitive answer, the selected pattern is that 'a divine entity must have created the universe'.

The truth is, though, that without religion, there would be fewer wars, less excuses for the politicians to abuse people, less discrimination, less craziness.

In other words, the topic is about the nature of politics, not religion.

That's such a cheap copout. How can we debate religion's impact on politics if we can't talk about religion?

If you can't figure out how to discuss whether or not religion should be a part of politics without having to discuss the nature of various religions (and more importantly, belittle people with religious beliefs), then you're not as smart as I thought you were.
