> Does religion conflict with politics?
<<Yes, unfortunately, I think it does. That doesn't, however, mean they can't coexist.
>>The point I was trying to make was that the Bible can be viewed as a business plan for life.
<<I like that idea in a religious context. My personal problem with that is I don't view our English language translation of the Bible to be the word of God. This is my own personal belief and I would never impose it on others. But it's probably the reason I don't think our government and laws and secular ethics should be defined by the Christian Bible.
> Those who practise functional marriage (not the abusers of the contract) may not want our children taught anti religious themes in the schools.
<<I can understand that. But I do think kids are smart enough to know the difference between what they are taught about religion in the context of their private family lives and what they are taught in school as a member of our society.>> Evolution is anti-religious because it denies the existance of a God.
<<I think evolution is *proof* of God. First there was nothing, then God created light. Analagous to the Big Bang Theory. We were created from dirt. Evolution. To scientifically explain God or what He has created is not blasphemous to me. It is pretty cool proof of God. :-)>>Gay marriage is anti-religious because it denies the contracts of God.
<<I understand your view, but I just can't agree. I'm sorry.
