Gneiss, WOW about your class. I'm stupified by how many college students behave like cattle and dumbly follow wherever authority leads them. Many (not all) of the Bush-era kids seem even more drone-ish. It seems to me that it should be a time of questioning and exploring.
The government became even more snarled up in religion in recent years, but I hope that's changing now that the consequences have proved so dreadful. I agree that I'd much rather have a Pres. that has read the Constitution than one who caters to common irrationality.
I think it is changing though, and the diversity that exists here on SR kind of bears that out. Still, I wondered if my post would be allowed to remain. It's a slow process,
but it seems the acceptance of critiques of religions and their effects on the world is becoming more common. There is NO text that is universally sacred, but freedom of conscience is.
