I read the first posts of this thread and fast-forewarded to the last. Quite a jump in logic.Religion and faith as a paradox and now the scientific argument over paradoxs'. I am an athiest, there are many things I do not understand completely nor has science explained all. This does not bother me, I refuse still to appoint a diety to explain that which I currenty do not fully comprehend. And as for the other question in the thread, why should religion be excluded from government? It is the basic premis of all religions and faiths that "theirs" is the true faith, exclusive of all other. So which faith would you have in gov? Christian? Fair enough, perhaps Baptist so all dancing in public schools can be banned. Perhaps Mormon, and Mormon prayers can be recited in all public schools. Perhaps Catholic, we can add the Pope to the presidents advisors, or, my personal fav, Jehova Witness, now they can come to your door and sell the presidents agenda along with watchtower. I don't think you guys have really thought this through-

[QUOTE="clarkatticus, post: 157959, member: 3245"] I read the first posts of this thread and fast-forewarded to the last. Quite a jump in logic.Religion and faith as a paradox and now the scientific argument over paradoxs'. I am an athiest, there are many things I do not understand completely nor has science explained all.

And as for the other question in the thread, why should religion be excluded from government? It is the basic premis of all religions and faiths that "theirs" is the true faith, exclusive of all other. So which faith would you have in gov? Christian? Fair enough, perhaps Baptist so all dancing in public schools can be banned. Perhaps Mormon, and Mormon prayers can be recited in all public schools.
