This is a ridiculous exercise. For starters where is the proof other than opinion that people would be better off without their faith in god? For some, god provides hope and strength to get through the hard times. God also gives some hope for life after death and in paradise/heaven. In other words god provides meaning to life for alot of people.
So you would so readily take that away?
freedom and liberation to think for themselves
A young lady came home and told her Mother that her boyfriend had proposed but she had turned him down because she found out he was an atheist, and didn't believe in Heaven or Hell."Marry him anyway, dear." the Mother said. "Between the two of us, we'll show him just how *wrong* he is."

Yeah,I was hoping that there would be someone else who realized that what is called "religion" today is no different than being called a Dem or a republican. The truth of God was hijacked millenia ago. What you have now does not even resemble what Jesus taught or what Father God intended for us. The truth is as simple as Jesus taught, Do unto others as you would have done to you. But that is too simple for most people because they can never see life thru someone elses eyes.

There is no way me for to know what Obama believes to be the truth in his heart. I cannot judge him on his belief systems, they aren't my business. I can only judge how he handles the job that he was elected to do. My children ARE uninsured, that's why we use a charity hospital, has always worked fine for us. The argument about healthcare is not even about healthcare, its about raping and pillaging what little the average American has left in their pocket!! Don't try to draw me out with anger. I aint' mad at ya!!

And yet you likely think Obama is an Indonesian Muslim Welfare Thug. Am I right? What are your views on Healthcare? As a Godly person do you believe that uninsured children should be given care by the government or left to rot?
