@Bob Tomlin "Religion is a cult." Says a member of the Secularist cult. Thing is EVERYONE has a Faith in something. The question is, can that Faith stand up to Reality. Given the history of the last 100 years secularism doesn't come off looking very good. There is a famous quote by GK Chesterton "When people stop believing in God, they don't believe in nothing. They believe in Anything." BTW there are planes flying to Germany everyday. Please avail yourself.

@timlinator "God and religion are not the same thing and there are over a1000 different religions with their own God." Somewhat true. Religion is how we worship/knowledge God. Yes there are 1,00's of different Gods "Gods by the Bushel! Gods by the Pound!" Londo Mollari But when you get right down to it, we're looking at 3 types of religion. Pantheism (Everything is God) Polytheism (a number of Gods) Monotheism (One God) The question is which of these 3 looks like Reality? "I'm spiritual so I actually do believe in a creator of the universe just not any religion. " 1. If I may paraphrase Jesus to the rich young man. "You are Close to the Kingdom of God". 2. What does that mean? When I hear someone say "I'm Spiritual" the term Cop Out; pops into my head. "I also believe in the absolute separation of church and state." Ever notice people never mention the 2nd part of that? "or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"

@timlinator "Where is your evidence to back up religion? It is largely discredited by science and secularism is much more than a 100 years old." I wish I had a dollar for every time someone said that. I'd be a very wealthy man. The Vast majority of people who say that, have never actually looked into the question. All they have done is read what the opposition says we say. Not What we actually say and Why we say it. Some names/people you might want to look up, on Google/Youtube. Spend some time, read what they actually say and You they say it. In no particular order Dr. John Lennox ( Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the University of Oxford and an Emeritus Fellow in Mathematics and Philosophy of Science at Green Templeton College) , Dr. Michael G. Strauss (Experimental Particle Physicist University of Oklahoma in Norman currently doing research on the ATLAS detector, at CERN), Dr. Sarah Salviander (Astrophysics) Dr. James Tour (Professor of Chemistry, Professor of Materials Science and NanoEngineering, and Professor of Computer Science at Rice University) Do some studying then please get to me. I could be wrong (and I admit I'm not That Bright), but as we find out more and more about how the universe Really works, it appears that Gen. 1:1 "In The Beginning God Created The Heavens and The Earth" Is correct.

@timlinator "I don't think God needs a middle man." "24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10: 24/25 Here we see the Writer of Hebrews saying Get yourself To Church! It will keep you from going astray From The Truth.

6:57 Pretty much Nonsense. Speaking as an politically engaged evangelical Christian, you can find many of us supporting people like Ted Cruz, Ron DeSantis, Tom Cotten. My friend your thinking on this point is Very Shallow. Something I posted in Sept. 2020 "Culturally, Politically seeing less & less room for live and let live...lose today, there another battle tomorrow. The tribes are sorting themselves out. The Tribes are not Left/Right, Rich/Poor/Republican/Democrat, Minority/Majority, Religious/Non-Religous. Not sure how to describe Our Side from Their Side, but of this I am sure there are US & THEM. I am fairly sure who is an US and who is a THEM. The way I/we have been looking at politics/culture may not be valid anymore, or are becoming Less Valid. "
