It makes the majority of atheists angry at me, but I agree with his position against abortion. This is because I believe in the Non-Aggression principle. Also, his view is that it would be ideal to eliminate state sponsored marriages all together. This puts gay and straight couples on equal ground being able to get married through private contracts. I hate his stance on immigration and that is a major nagging point with me. I believe that employers should be able to hire whoever they wish without government intruding. That being said, I will vote for him if he runs, because he is the closest to my positions. Also, The only way to get a libertarian type candidate elected is to push them through a major party. Ron Paul 2012!<br /><br />P.S., his views on biology are irrelevant. They will not reflect his policies, and he IS an old man... Maybe someone never took time to explain these things to him properly. That being said, his economic views are the product of being well informed of economics. Maybe it was a ploy to get creationist voters? He really does need to stop that...Michaelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109581212220604045.post-20268223733917190262011-02-27T13:35:40.700-08:002011-02-27T13:35:40.700-08:00I hope all of you accept Jesus as your personal sa...I hope all of you accept Jesus as your personal savior before it's too late.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109581212220604045.post-38767581843175478152010-04-17T10:40:23.134-07:002010-04-17T10:40:23.134-07:00haha a poll of 41 people, thats a sufficient amoun...haha a poll of 41 people, thats a sufficient amount with which to make a general assessment of all the athiest voters in the United StatesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109581212220604045.post-78947149894758918802009-07-19T23:16:50.870-07:002009-07-19T23:16:50.870-07:00Obama is just as bad making one month dedicated to...Obama is just as bad making one month dedicated to a month of prayer.

None of the other candidates even comes close to protecting personal freedom and stopping wasteful government spending. I don't agree with his religion or abortion viewpoints but I understand that the President of the United States needs to be a compromise of all voters desires.<BR/><BR/>I hope that one day in the future, likely when the YouTube/internet generation grows to an elderly age, we will see a presidential candidate similar to Ron Paul but also quite atheist, and these foolish 2000 year old mythologies can finally lay at rest in the history books.Syclone0044https://www.blogger.com/profile/17299588637657206228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109581212220604045.post-90453325746659591942008-01-16T07:37:00.000-08:002008-01-16T07:37:00.000-08:00Matt, I have been studying the theory of evoluti...Matt, <BR/> I have been studying the theory of evolution or 'neo-Darwinism' for a few years now. The theory provided by Darwin was never complete. It too has *evolved* over the years.<BR/>Darwin wasnt wrong about everything he said but he wasnt right about everything either. But it dosnt matter what one man's opinion was. The ultimate goal of all theories is to understand the world. The ultimate goal of the theory of evolution is to understand the living world. Evolution is a biological theory to explain biological facts. Since wrong and vague theories hamper our understanding of nature, one way to increase our understanding is to eliminate wrong and vague theories. Another way is to improve existing theories. I think it is possible to improve the theory of evolution by solving the problems posed by the critics and incorporating the solutions into the theory of evolution. <BR/>But is Neo Darwinism complete yet? No it's not. Creationism maybe ridiculous, but so is faith. One thing you should never stop doing is question.<BR/> You may read books by Michael Denton or Stanley Salthe. Who have discussed the theory in an educated manner and still being accessible to pop culture.<BR/><BR/>But even better is to get a girl, get high and rent a movie like 'The Big Lebowski' or something .

Evolution has recieved it's fair amount of criticism and believing in it blindly is just as bad as being a fundamentalist christian. Whatever the truth maybe, it's obvious that we cant say one way or the other for sure. So, well I dont care if people want to believe in something that gets them through their day.

Certainly the drafters of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, both replete with references to God, would be aghast at the federal government’s hostility to religion. The establishment clause of the First Amendment was simply intended to forbid the creation of an official state church like the Church of England, not to drive religion out of public life."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6109581212220604045.post-29668731334625187842008-01-09T13:23:00.000-08:002008-01-09T13:23:00.000-08:00That and the fact you are assuming they are voting...That and the fact you are assuming they are voting Atheists who are American.
