This needs to be seen.

This is without a doubt one of the scariest things I have ever seen. These are all real quotes, word for word, unaltered by anyone. These are not people who live in backwater towns, or who have small groups of followers; these are people who run our government, people who have influence over the public, people we put our trust in

"I don't know that atheists should be considered citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."

I totally read that as ATHLETES :x

There's a lot of talk in America about pluralism. But the bottom line is somebody's values will prevail. And the winner gets the right to teach our children what to believe.

The unfortunate part about this quote is that it's true. The Western mindset is that of "There can be only one truth." I'm of the belief that an overall sense of objective truth (disregarding the trivial specifics) can be gleaned from the intersection of multiple "facts".

Also, I've found recently that it's the balance of power between conservatives and liberals, Republicans and Democrats, that makes this government and society work. I consider myself a member of the religious right, but I can't agree with their tactics nor their politics.

With the power shifting toward that direction, even though their beliefs represent me better than their opposition, I fear for the future of freedom in America.

Are you addressing me? I don't remember the last time I stood up for right wing christian fanatics and republican crazebots.
