    Sure. But you are trying to impose your beliefs on every woman in America. I couldn't care less what you personally believe. I care what laws you are shoving down my uterus.

    I was also raised Southern Baptist Christian ( and Judiasm as my mother was adopted by a Jewish family).

    I don't know if I'm agnostic. I believe there is a God. I believe in the be good to your fellow man stuff and the commandments (not killing and stealing and stuff).

    The Bible is a book written by men, not God. It's mostly parables about good morals. But, there is alot of stuff in there I don't agree with too. Some messed up stuff.

    Bottom line when it comes to the separation of church and state:

    1st Amendment
    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    If I were Muslim, would I be able to force Sharia Law on you?

    I don't know that there is one but I'm not of the believe that there is one. The one in the bible certainly has been perverted.

    However, I think atheists should slow up... They say a god can't exist and they simply don't know that. We don't know what happens after we die.

    The God of the old testament is not a nice dude/entity/deity

    I look at the universe and how infinitesimal I am...I can't help but feel I am part of something far greater.

    I get that. Do you feel I'm pushing my beliefs on any of you here?

    No, we are talking about the conservative right made up largely of a Christian epistemology pushing their religous beliefs on the rest of the country by creating laws based on those religious beliefs

    I don't feel like you are... :dunno: But I'm one who likes religious debate.

    They did in Texas though. They're trying to do it all over the country.

    I don't believe in pushing, per se, but if various laws are voted in? then, yeah, they are voted in. Last I checked, it takes a majority to do that. Just like gay marriage. There are many who oppose that, but it's legal, and they have those rights. Although, I've oft wondered how it's determined who's the husband, and who's the wife....and can those roles be changed at any time within that said marriage. But, I digress.

    The majority of Americans don't oppose Abortion so why should there be a law against it?

    Just so you know, my friend, my father was a minister. I was "raised" in a predominantly Black Conservative Baptist church in North Portland (Berean Baptist Church). I left the church.....and God when I was 13. I didn't buy-in to the whole "God thing" until the Holy Spirit gripped me in the kitchen of my Aurora, OR home when I was 32. Many miracles happened to me to ever deny God's existence in my life. They still do. People can believe what they want, but no one, NOBODY, can take my testimony from me.

    They just made one in Texas and that's going to set off a chain reaction of the same law being set in other states so yeah

    Oh, yeah. That deal. The whole Supreme Court thing as kind of a conundrum for me in that they are appointed. They still have to be confirmed, though. That said, I'd rather these issues stay out of the courts.
