Rez...I don't get your point?


How can religious people separate from God? Religions are a human invention that define God as the answer to the great unknowns of human existence and, in fact, the mysteries of the universe.

Humankind has been betraying its God or Gods since they began to think rationally, have they not?
If you equate our founders referring to God in our founding documents as only keeping religion around, I think you are mistaken. This country was and still is largely religious. Certainly much more so than the former Catholic countries of Europe?
Many people in America are FAR more concerned with the HERE AND NOW rather then the HERE AND AFTER. It seems as though creationists feel evolution is the devil and that all who study it will go to HELL.

If someone religious wanted to be consistent with what they preach they would address the situation of how man seperated themselves from god during the 18th century.
