It's just something to think about, considering you're asking that girl for an apology while simultaneously insulting non-believers.

As for Romney, as a resident of Massachusetts, I got to see how he runs a political office up close and personal, and let me say, it ain't pretty. It has nothing to do with his beliefs, he's just a terrible candidate for ANY office.
I claim no church, and I attend no house of worship, but yes, I do still get my social bearings from my peers, most of whom are mormon or christians.
Not that I'm a non-believer, but am a non-believer in most 'organized' religion. In my opinion, religion has been watered down thru all of these offshoot churches designed to fit a clique, (and fill their coffers) rather than offer spirituality thru christ. We've got a religion for everyone. The Trinity United Church of Christ is a great example of this 'selective spirituality'.

Anyway, I didn't say non-believers can't have a moral compass. But yes, I am more likely to trust voting for those with truly judeo-christian values, morals and ethics, over the NOI or the Trinity United Church of Christ. (aren't they the same thing?)

As for Romney, I sure could do with a bit more conservatism in his tax and healthcare philosophies, but at least we know exactly what he is, and what we might expect he'd do. :jointsmile:
