Can we talk about the group rules?

38. I believe

I'll have another wine.

And I believe that submitting one's self to a god has come to dominate today's main steam media.

Not that many years ago (in the age before W) religion or one's beliefs were rarely or never raised. Agnostics and atheists like me, had it a tad easier then. If no one raised it, we could sit and hide mostly in peace.

After w succeeded in erasing the separation between church and state, two things happened. The true believers took apparent control. Over media. Over the DOJ. Over judge selection. Over our political process. Even worse, a second group joined them, using faith and religion for feckless, false and fraudulent reasons, like selling the Iraqi invasion.

Between both groups, it made it harder for a nonbeliever like me just to live in this country.i even ran for local office. To my distaste, I dodged the question of faith, especially since the questions were posed as "To which church do you . . . . " I am ashamed that I did not state clearly that I had no religious beliefs.
