But let me ask you this: do you think YOUR views are flawed?

Nobody's perfect. I'm sure some of my opinions can be disputed well.

But anyone who thinks the Bible isn't full of contradictions, is fooling themselves.

can you tell me these contradictions?

Yes, but some of it is meant symbolicly...

If the US Presidential candidate for the party you would normally vote for were an atheist, would you still vote for them? I ask this, as I recently found a report that found 52% of Americans wouldn't vote for a well-qualified atheist.Bourbons3

I'm sorry if someone has already asked this but I'd like to know without reading through a huge load of posts. As for my opinion of course I would who cares if he's atheist, agnostic, islamic, etc. it doesn't matter realgion has no place in politics

People who have deep faith in religion have one thing in common. And that is they all are exemplary citizens. A person who believes in God would also seem to be more secure and morally-motivated.

Bin Laden doesn't "deeply" follow his religion.

Bin Laden is Muslim, is he not? do you know what the guidelines are for that religion? Well, nonviolence is one of them.

What I meant by my comment is someone who follows the moral ethics of his religion.

Why does there have to be something for you to worship? Are we really still stuck in ancient times? I guess many still are but as time goes on, people are waking up.. I'll give it another 25-30 years before religion fails

I wouldn't go so far as to say all religion is a mere fantasy conjured up by the minds of men, however I do agree that it should be completely separate from politics given its dogmatic nature.
