"Palin said during her 2006 gubernatorial campaign that if she were elected, she would not push the state Board of Education to add creation-based alternatives to the state's required curriculum, or look for creationism advocates when she appointed board members."

"Neither have Palin's socially conservative personal views on issues like abortion and gay marriage been translated into policies during her 20 months as Alaska's chief executive. It reflects a hands-off attitude toward mixing government and religion by most Alaskans."

Palin respects the Establishment Clause. Good for her. People can believe what they want. They just need to understand their religious beliefs don't belong in our schools. Palin understands this. She respects our wall of separation.

I have a very low opinion of Christian Fundamentalists and creationists, but Sarah Palin's speech at the convention was the first political speech I heard in a long time that didn't bore me to death. Palin is very likable. I'm not sure if I would ever vote for her, but I don't think it would bother me very much if she and what's his name won the election.

Sarah Palin as Governor of Alaska respected the wall of separation between church and state. She didn't try to impose her creationist views into public school science education. She seems to understand that the governments of America are secular governments.

It would be nice to have a vice-president or president who isn't boring to listen to. I wish Sarah Palin good luck, and I congratulate her for soon becoming a grandmother.

"five signs around Phoenix that read Imagine No Religion."

I saw a picture of one of those signs. It showed the World Trade Center, both towers still standing in a world without religion. 3,000 people who were murdered for God on 9/11 would still be alive today in a world without religion.

In a world without religion American biology teachers could do their jobs without fear of harassment and threats from uneducated Christian thugs.

I could go on forever, but you get the idea.

"America is still a great place, where even fools can tout their folly freely."

Another insult to 30 million Americans.

Finally some good news in this world. This news is almost 2 years old but I just heard about it today.

"Religious Decline in U.S. Follows Europe"

"Is the U.S. following Europe in becoming less religious and more humanist? This is the tantalizing prospect held out by some recent surveys."

"A new survey in the U.S. shows that the number of 18-25 year olds who are atheist, agnostic or nonreligious has increased from 11 percent in 1986 to 20 percent today. Meanwhile a survey of the United States and the five largest countries in Western Europe reveals that religious belief continues to plummet in Europe, with Italy being the only country with a majority believing in any form of God or supreme being. And even in these overwhelmingly godless countries, the young are still significantly less religious than their elders."

Talmid: "The fool"

I replied to your insult, but my comments were deleted and my userid was banned, proving to me beyond any doubt that Christians are cowards who love censorship.

What I said was you use the Bible as a weapon to insult people and you should be ashamed of yourself.

schumacr: "you're parroting Freud"

Actually I know virtually nothing about what Freud ever said. It's just obvious to me that when people believe in heaven, they are believing in exactly what they wish to be true. If that isn't wishful thinking then I don't know what is.

Take away the reward in heaven and take away the fear of hell, and Christianity would be extinct in less than a day. Christians know this and that why preachers are constantly talking about hell and heaven. That's the only way for the preachers to keep the money coming in from their gullible customers who will never be able to ask for their money back after they drop dead.
