You can see our conundrum here. After all we may accidentally bump into you in the parking lot and make the fatal mistake of saying "God bless you" when you sneeze, and we wouldn't want to get stabbed or nothing.

Perhaps when you're out in public you ought to wear a shirt that says:

Religious people stay away from me or I'll send you to the hospital!
(Guys only)

Of course it'd have to be in big letters cause our eyes are a bit fuzzy from studying the bible all the time but you do have a lot of extra space on that hat...

Lol August I get the impression you believe I put every religious person in a hospital because he or she is preaching there belief's. I support free speech or freedom of expression. I don't support phychological and physical abuse caused by religion. Thats all. If that woman was just chanting her nonsense then fine we laugh and move on. But she took it to a whole new level by spraying holywater on my wife? I don't know whats was in that vial? Its like someone spitting on you because they don't like you. Are you going to tolerate that behavior? I don't and I don't spit on people. I mind my own business. Thats all August. I don't make it my life to destroy religion. But those fanatics groups on those videos are making there war against science. That is wrong. They're imposing on us by force.

Nobody is imposing anything on you by force Dude and all i wrote is just a reflection of what you said. Forget about the holy water spraying, i agree that's over the line, but you didn't say that in your original post either.

I was just using a bit of good hearted sarcasm to demonstrate that people tend to form opinions based on what we say, not what we meant...

I can find no proof he ever said this. It is a lie.

How about this Einstein quote instead:

"The word god is for me nothing more than the expression and product of human weaknesses, the Bible a collection of honourable, but still primitive legends which are nevertheless pretty childish. No interpretation no matter how subtle can (for me) change this."

Or this:

"For me the Jewish religion like all others is an incarnation of the most childish superstitions"

Sorry, one mysterious letter doesn't seal a case. 10 years ago, I had a more liberal view myself until I realized how stupid a proposition that was to be a liberal.

For you Mr. Beast:

"If you're not liberal when you're young, you have no heart. If you're not conservative when you're older, you have no brain."

Excuse me, but what the bloody hell does being a liberal or a conservative have to do with some religious extremists trying to limit scientific progress or trying to teach myth as fact?

A mysterious letter penned by Albert Einstien. No mystery here.

Ahhhh that explains it, you're a convert!

Seriously though what made you decide to become a conservative?

Brains! :p And i didn't say I was a liberal, I just leaned a lot more left than i do today. So convert wouldn't be a proper word.
