I said religiosity is increasing in american politics, and because it is. *NM* Vivien Send a noteboard - 07/09/2011 06:57:35 PM
I think you are looking at the issue back wards. It isn't that America is suddenly becoming religious it is that Europe and parts of the American left have become vehemently anti-religious and in their unending need to to prove they are victims they need a bogeyman. I think the radicalization of the new religion of atheism is more worrisome.

Jon Huntsman, the No-Drama Conservative (he speaks like a diplomat but he is no moderate) Roland00 - 03/09/2011 05:11:12 PM 2723 Views
I haven't had a chance to read the entire article yet random thoughts - 03/09/2011 09:00:22 PM 390 Views
Do we need two catholics in the race? *NM* Roland00 - 03/09/2011 11:24:19 PM 199 Views
I'd settle for one real one. Cannoli - 04/09/2011 09:44:03 PM 354 Views
Santorum is not a real catholic? Furthermore Gingrich converted to Catholicism *NM* Roland00 - 05/09/2011 12:39:38 AM 161 Views
and they both have even less of chance than Huntsman does to win random thoughts - 06/09/2011 02:08:51 AM 365 Views
Real Catholics, especially educated Latin-mass types should understand just-war morality *NM* Cannoli - 14/09/2011 12:47:28 AM 163 Views
Personally I think the left spends way to much time focusing on relgion random thoughts - 06/09/2011 02:04:54 AM 417 Views
Religion is an indication on whether or not a candidate is rational-minded or not. Great Lord of Chaos - 06/09/2011 11:11:43 AM 521 Views
I agree the left does use religious prejudice to disqualify candidates random thoughts - 06/09/2011 02:04:02 PM 360 Views
How is it any different than Islam? Roland00 - 06/09/2011 05:00:30 PM 379 Views
Good point, they're all crazy. Vivien - 07/09/2011 06:30:32 AM 375 Views
I am an athiest, but they are not all crazy Roland00 - 08/09/2011 02:19:38 AM 375 Views
The religions are crazy. The people believing in them are not necessarily crazy. Vivien - 08/09/2011 06:33:46 PM 358 Views
I've yet to meet a rational sane atheist. Joel - 12/09/2011 10:01:59 PM 432 Views
Did you just call yourself irrational and/or insane? *NM* Legolas - 12/09/2011 10:38:24 PM 166 Views
It's late, so you may have to spell it out for me: Did I claim to prove a negative in there? Joel - 13/09/2011 12:09:09 AM 360 Views
That's a good point! Vivien - 14/09/2011 04:34:36 PM 378 Views
At the risk of extended tangent, that's a reasonable premise, but not one that leads to atheism. Joel - 21/09/2011 12:55:57 AM 510 Views
To cite a pop culture figure, Ken Jennings seems pretty rational Isaac - 06/09/2011 10:09:25 PM 467 Views
They can compartmentalize. Vivien - 07/09/2011 06:33:42 AM 402 Views
Everyone does that Isaac - 07/09/2011 06:59:02 AM 371 Views
So, you don't think that religiosity in american politics is increasing? Vivien - 07/09/2011 06:56:12 PM 426 Views
No, absolutely not Isaac - 08/09/2011 03:25:49 AM 352 Views
Why the hostility? Vivien - 08/09/2011 03:36:37 PM 358 Views
That would be my question for you Isaac - 08/09/2011 05:01:42 PM 440 Views
Ay. Vivien - 08/09/2011 06:27:17 PM 393 Views
We seem not to be getting anywhere Isaac - 09/09/2011 12:15:02 PM 346 Views
Honestly, I had the same reaction as Isaac, which is why I responded as I did. Joel - 12/09/2011 10:12:36 PM 485 Views
Much better. Vivien - 14/09/2011 04:49:38 PM 383 Views
Glad you liked it. Joel - 20/09/2011 11:17:35 PM 476 Views
why do you think America is becoming more religious? random thoughts - 07/09/2011 03:07:58 PM 368 Views
I said religiosity is increasing in american politics, and because it is. *NM* Vivien - 07/09/2011 06:57:35 PM 163 Views
spoken like a true believer, who needs facts when you have faith and righteousness *NM* random thoughts - 07/09/2011 09:36:45 PM 171 Views
Just based on my observations. I haven't written a report on it. Vivien - 08/09/2011 03:38:40 PM 379 Views
Gallup has looked into it random thoughts - 08/09/2011 04:44:25 PM 432 Views
Again, that's not what I said. Vivien - 08/09/2011 06:04:13 PM 348 Views
I think the opposite is true random thoughts - 08/09/2011 06:48:41 PM 371 Views
Re: I think the opposite is true Vivien - 08/09/2011 07:11:37 PM 415 Views
Maybe to some extent, but not much. Gher - 07/09/2011 11:22:08 PM 385 Views
There's an odd line halfway the article... Legolas - 03/09/2011 10:39:42 PM 506 Views
Which lines are you referring to? *NM* Cannoli - 04/09/2011 10:03:06 PM 143 Views
This part: Legolas - 04/09/2011 10:25:57 PM 404 Views
really? I didn't read this as a neutral article random thoughts - 06/09/2011 02:07:22 AM 358 Views
If you read it as a positive pro-Huntsman article, that only makes the contrast weirder still. *NM* Legolas - 07/09/2011 10:26:30 PM 160 Views
I think the problem may be your prospective random thoughts - 08/09/2011 05:09:31 AM 354 Views
Seriously? That quote parodies and mocks things that matter to conservatives. Legolas - 08/09/2011 08:39:21 PM 363 Views
no the quote mocks people who call him a RINO random thoughts - 08/09/2011 09:45:52 PM 349 Views
That actually sounds like a joke conservatives would say to each other where no media could hear Cannoli - 14/09/2011 12:52:18 AM 378 Views
Well, I certainly like him better than any other Republican candidate I have heard about. *NM* Darth_Katie - 06/09/2011 10:34:36 PM 172 Views
That actually managed to alarm me a lot more than it reassured me. Joel - 12/09/2011 09:52:31 PM 450 Views
