Wait, "in church the pastor showed us a video"... I didn't know you were religious, Smartmuffin.
I've always been atheist, and I used to be pretty militant about it, but I stopped being militant when I adopted Libertarianism. I realized freedom of religion is too important. And just about everybody I've converted to Libertarianism in real life has a different religion. I count two Christians, one Catholic, another atheist, and a Jew.
It kinda gets me excited that such a variety of people can work together for a greater good, rather than Republicans who are seemingly mostly religious and Democrats who are seemingly mostly non-religious.
Like Baghdad in AD 800-1100, which was the intellectual center of the world at the time, where everyone was welcome from Jews to Christians to "doubters", and they were all there exchanging ideas. And it was that period where we had all those advances in mathematics and biology and engineering and got stuff like... Arabic numerals.
And then all of a sudden their government forced them to stop being open to other beliefs and everything went downhill and they haven't recovered since.
That's why I'm afraid of people like Rick Santorum who are overbearing with their religions, or the city government of Phoenix, Arizona, who are demeaning to other peoples' religions.
I really don't wanna see our country become like modern day Baghdad, but sometimes it seems like it's inevitable.
