That's my opinion.

I had to add one more thing on your quote here:

This is the very essence of this thread started by Yubba who is deemed a crack. The convention added God after much debate. For what purpose did the DNC add God into the Convention?

We need religion because apparently there's a ton of christians whom, without the threat of hell, think it would be a OK to go totally fécking evil.

What do the Muslims think? Do we just want to single out the Christians on this?

I think the context was god of the bible, so I'm not going to discuss about muslims this time. The thing I wrote was a quote from the comments of this video:

Matt Dillahunty explains the immoral moral compass of the christian religion

I guess because they didn't want it to become the story of the convention and overshadow any messaging. As usual they messed it up.

I'm no fan of the hyper-intensive religious nature of US politics, but I don't think you make headway with the average voter by making a point of removing mentions of deities.

Agreed.

Probably not all that different from doggie hell. Locked in a 2 x 2 cage for all eternity. Masters who never pet you? Never scratch your ears? No toys to play with...ever?

I agree, but then a lot of things Yubba says come close to the truth. His problem isn't that he gets it right once in awhile; his problem is that he seems to think his own side is right more than that. His real problem is that he takes a side at all. That and of course the obvious answers to Dowly's original question.

It's Satan chasing dogs with a vacuum.

It is human's competitive nature that wills individuals to take a side. We find it in all facets life.

I know. Even my attempts to not take a side constitute taking a side of sorts. The difference I see is that some of us realize it and at least try to use reason to understand why and do something about it. Some do not; they just proclaim their side to be the best, or at least declare the other side to be worth their derision.

And that, my friend, is the very definition of the NFL football season! People are decisive to a fault sometimes. I'm no exception.
