Today's Wingnut & A Quote
Happy to discuss and debate and debunk whatever religiousness you care to bandy about - as long as we're just some people talking and passing the time. But when it comes to what we should be doing to govern ourselves, I'll thank you to keep your imaginary friends to yourself.
Notice how their god always agrees with everything the fanatics have to say, and everything they do has their god's full support.
No matter what they say or do, it's because their god told them it was either OK or (more often than not) mandatory. In that regard, how are the god-knobbers any different from the Son Of Sam killer?
"Although the detail of the formation of the American governments is at present little known or regarded either in Europe or in America, it may hereafter become an object of curiosity. It will never be pretended that any persons employed in that service had interviews with the gods, or were in any degree under the influence of Heaven, more than those at work upon ships or houses, or laboring in merchandise or agriculture; it will forever be acknowledged that these governments were contrived merely by the use of reason and the senses."
-- John Adams, "A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America," Preface, 1787-1788
