Ok, I should have been more specific. The concept of God is too broad to rule out, but how about there being a God that is TALKING to them (which is really what I had in mind)?
Do you really think that some God is talking to these people? Do you think that any rational person should consider the possibility that when someone says 'God told them to do it', that they are right?
Now we are closer to the same page.

I don't see how believing/thinking there is no god can be described as "narrow thinking", Intrepid. It seems that one has to expand their thinking to come to the conclusion that there is no god.
I do not consider that fact that someone may not believe as narrow thinking.
I DO consider it narrow thinking to presuppose that nobody should believe in God because the writer does not. It can, however, actually go both ways. I only consider narrow thinking to be where one does not account for the possibility of the other opinion being correct.

And that's the majority on this planet. Surprised?
@Intrepid,
I now understand your point, Intrepid.

God did not bring about the American invasion of Iraq. Saddam Hussein brought it about by providing the 9-11 jackers with partially-weaponized anthrax.
Palin and the "Christianist tradition".........
Unlike the demoKKKrat party which is a monolith, pubbies consist of at least three recognizable subspecies, i.e. the religious right, an old money group including the Bush family and similar ilk, and a populist group consisting of people like George Allen, Ted and Marcy Dykes, and Sarah Palin.
The ONLY thing there might be not to like in Palin would be the right2life(TM) thing and, worst possible case which is never gonna happen in real life, somebody might claim that Palin et. al. were going to force them to have five more kids (twins and triplets).
My answer to that is that for what Baroque Oinquebama and the dems are gonna coast you, you could ******* AFFORD five more kids...

@OmSigDAVID,
Not really, although by rights the libertarians ought to be a separate party. The lack of runoff elections everywhere makes that impossible.
I have known several people who had conversations with God. They heard what he said right up to the time they took thier medicine. Than He quit talking too them.

The GOP was always supposed to be the freedom-oriented party.

Kinda weird bumping an old thread, but this is the only thread tagged 'religion and politics' which is bizarre.
