And long may it continue. If the scumbag had a conscience it would at least affect him. I just hope that one day he is executed for treason.They're wrong.
The motion his nothing at all to do with the existence of any diety or what their plan may be.
The motion specifically proposes that religion is a force for good.
As religions usually emphasise good deads and moral codes and the vast majority of religious people try to follow these guidelines it would seem that this is a reasonable statement.
Or, to put it another way, if everyone started aiming to follow the ten commandments, forgive others and be charitable would this be good or bad?

"You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me"
Sounds like a nasty piece of work to me, this god.

Which explains why, in the USA where 75% of the population consider themselves to be christian and 15% consider themselves to be agnostic/athiest, the prison populations are 75% christian and 0.2% agnostic/athiest.Or is obeying the law not considered morally correct amongst christians?

Ex 20 vs 5 "You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and the fourth generation of those who reject me"
