Washington: One of the least religious states in the U.S.

[PurpleThrobber]

I would have skewed the statistics in the way the question was asked. I have no part of religion in my daily life.

That doesn't mean I do not believe in a Creator. But as for religion -pfffft. Fuck that.

You wouldn't be confused if you weren't such an office-dwelling bookworm who goes to the park to watch soccer matches and bull dykes on the weekend.

Why don't you take your kids out to learn how to fish and hunt and not be the pussies of the future.

Oh - never mind - it's you I'm talking about, so I already know the answer.

Not having rivers and the Northwest nature is the one thing I dislike about Texas.

We actually go to the Rockies and fish the Arkansas.

The Rockies are the closest thing I have to home ...

Without all the intolerant assholes.

Using the word intolerant 5 times since I used it at you in response to your intolerant post.

You seem defensive.

Trying to convince an atheist that they are wrong or trying to convince a christian/whoever their God doesn't exist is the ultimate exercise in being a fucking faggot.

The End.

It's mind bottling how stupid you are.

Either you are wrong, or Jesus was the greatest fool in history.

I never try to convert anybody. If you're so conceited to not believe in a Creator, I couldn't care less.

LIBTARD COMMANDMENT #5 Liberalism is a jealous god and no other God may come before it: A liberal "Christian" or "Jew" is almost an oxymoron because liberalism trumps faith for liberals. Taking your religious beliefs seriously means drawing hard lines about right and wrong and that's simply not allowed. Liberals demand that even God bow down on the altar of liberalism.

There should be no surprise that there is now an outright attack against Jews and Christians in America. Liberals only believe that THEY should have rights; especially the right to command everyone else what to do.

LIBTARD COMMANDMENT #3 What liberals like should be mandatory and what they don't like should be banned: There's an almost instinctual form of fascism that runs through most liberals. It's not enough for liberals to love gay marriage; everyone must be forced to love gay marriage. It's not enough for liberals to be afraid of guns; guns have to be banned. It's not enough for liberals to want to use energy-saving light bulbs; incandescent light bulbs must be banned. It's not enough for liberals to make sure most speakers on campuses are left-wing; conservative speakers must be shouted down or blocked from speaking.

You mean separation of church and state, which was created in the 1700s?

If people choose to go to church, that's their choice. Don't get mad when people get annoyed by glorified cults like the Jehovah's Witnesses knocking at their doors, or at Pope lovers protecting pedophiles, or money grabbers like Jimmy Swaggart or Jim Baker. They need your money to buy private jets, buy another Mercedes, and a 15 yr. old hooker.

I may have misjudged you. Anyone who makes a journey to seek out fish and nature can't be all bad.

Intolerant assholes have never bothered me because I don't give a fuck what they think. Ignorant assholes bother me daily because they jam me up at work, on the road, or if I stop at the store for beer or liquor.

You've probably already done it, but if you haven't you should make a trek to the Salida / Bueno Vista area in the Rockies.

It's become very commercialized since my dad use to take me there in the 80's ... but it still rivals the Wenatchee Valley / Leavenworth / Entiat areas for fishing and getting away from it all.

If you want to do lake fishing, which I don't really care for, but it is more suited for my kids, there are lots of natural lakes. June is great as the snow melts.

Doesn't make your intolerant post any less intolerant.

@d2d of course making fun of fat women and posting pics of them calling them other dudes wives. That's what I read a dude was supposed to do in the bible.

I just find it funny a dude who starts posting bible quotes after all the shit you have said.

 

[PurpleReign]

Thank god, would jump in front of a train if I had to live around a bunch of fundies. Religion needs to go the way of the dodo bird and just fall off a cliff or DIAFF.

 

[jecornel]

If only god had intervened, 150 people wouldn't have died in a plane flown into a side of a mountain.

Where were you then Jesus...

Given that it is Easter, I am reminded that Washington is one of the least religious states in the U.S. Not surprising at all, given that it is much easier to disagree with the concept that Human Rights are endowed by God. If there is no God, your rights must therefore come from the State.

What a terrifying concept.

BTW, the only state on this list that didn't vote for Obama was Alaska. Vermont is the only state with a Communist elected to the U.S. Senate, and is also home to CollegeDouche.

Beat oregon nothing else matters

 

[allpurpleallgold]

I respect religious people a hell of a lot more than spiritual people. At least religion has something tangible to point to. Religion may be choose your own adventure nonsense but at least it's not just completely made up nonsense.

 

[d2d]

The highest educated state correlates with the least religious... what a shocker!

Or, it might be that so many years of WEA brainwashing works?

Bonny Raitt Is not my idea of a great philosopher. I tend to follow Niccolo Machiavelli and Jesus Christ

One of the greatest benefits I derive from HH is that I actually get to find out what people in here really think. My assumptions have been reinforced in this thread.

Over the years, I have found that people who defrauded me for the most part were liberals and atheists. It's not surprising since they have no code of conduct for themselves. "The end justifies the means." They believe that economics is a zero sum game, so therefore the only way to get ahead is to steal what someone else has.

On the other hand it is extremely difficult for a devout person to be a narcissist, likewise a thief. Both contradict Judeo-Christian teaching.

Jecornel's view that non-religious states are the most educated is extremely simplistic. His view that the green states are somehow intellectually inferior is uninformed. Personally, I notice from the map that the green states are the ones that are the fastest growing.

Two of the most destructive trends in this country over the past 40 years are (1) the unionization of public school teachers, and (2) the unionization of government workers. Those trends are strongest in the non-religious states. In response to those trends people have voted with their feet and moved out of the non-religious states and into the religious states. The liberals would simplistically argue that those people are stupid. So be it.

I would argue that most of the people in here who agree with the liberals have never traveled to those dark green states. I have worked in several of them, and completely disagree.

Dr. Art Laffer is one of the smartest people I have ever met. He now lives in Tennessee. He wanted out of California but still wanted to be near a top notch university like Vanderbilt.

I also noticed the subject of intolerance being bandied about here. Growing up in Western Washington and attending UW and Law School here, there was tremendous intolerance shown to conservative thought. In fact it went way beyond intolerance. When liberals at UW and in Law School found a conservative, they were hated. I don't like liberals, but I don't hate them. I don't trust them because I find many of them to be completely without ethics. Therefore I avoid doing business with them.

Socialism and communism have been tried over and over again always with the same dismal results. Eventually you run out of other people's money. On the other hand, capitalism has eliminated more poverty than any other system in the history of the world. To argue otherwise is the definition of insanity.

This has been an extremely enlightening thread. Thank you for sharing your true feelings.

I hope for your sake, and for the sake of your family, that you do a much better job of writing/arguing in your REAL job. The shitfest above is a sad example of poor logic and spin.
