Couldn't sleep last night so I watched (again) the movie "Religulous" with Bill Maher. At that time 16% of the population identified as agnostic or atheist, Bill says we are likely more than 16% of the population, an "untapped minority" that needs to come out of the closet. I have to agree, the recent comments and references to the Bible by AG Sessions and Sarah "Huckasans" Sanders, to justify separating and locking up children, should bother every citizen who understands the importance of SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE! Think about it ... the Attorney General is quoting the BIBLE as the moral foundation for unjust laws which he says are "ordained by God"! What's next, public stonings?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Totally agree here. I am not American so I can't really comment on the specific situation, but if it is a world trend then it is concerning. I know in UK and Australia there are concerns about the growing potential of Sharia Law in certain communities. My question is, what is the difference. Ordained by Allah or ordained by Yaweh. Other religio-philosophic texts can argue the contrary but not given a hearing. A secular society should have none of this or be prepared to examine all positions. I am sure the French wouldn't stand for it!

The problem with things like this in the Trump era is that no one calls bullshit and it's like everyone takes it seriously. Maybe everyone is apathetic. In my mind the bible thumping should not be allowed into the office one holds, and if it is, you should vacate that office. This is very plain and simple.

Completely agree. This could have been posted in the FFRF group. =] ALL of us should be supporting that organization, and not just "in spirit." Every person on this site should be a paying supporter. They advertise being 35K strong and that is a pitiful joke, IMHO. We could double their size (I know some folks are already there). Anyway, shuttin' up now. LOL!

I usually don't collect movies but I own Religulous because it's magnificent. We have young people on our side and I trust our growing contingent will show up at the polls this November.
