And some people only consider themselves religious as a way of signaling that they like "christian" morality. It goes both ways. Once it becomes a battle between good and evil, it stops being a battle between correct and incorrect.
It's really unfortunate for both sides I think. Many people's religious beliefs are for purely intellectual reasons; the factual statements just seem true to them. Unfortunately, many of the people "agreeing" and "disagreeing" with these statements don't think they are worthy of respect except as a tool in their personal culture war?
I refuse to use religious beliefs as a tool. I will present only what I believe, even if every other person who believes it is a gay loser. It's far more respectful to everyone involved.

Wow.
Americans think that politicians would try to protect freedom more if officials had higher salaries.

Americans think living in a socialist police state is normal, but freedom is not some textbook theory.
There are still some Americans alive today who will tell you that freedom is better.

The very same Americans who scream Libertarians are stupid then turn around and say Stalin was smart.
If you are a law-abiding and responsible person who doesn't have any debt, you might totally lose respect for the government and laws if you get fined $30,000 for having an illegal flagpole.
Libertarians think that they should give up defending freedom because Americans hate liberty, but Libertarians should keep resisting tyranny for selfish reasons.
While the elites control the money, government, and media, the 99% have the numbers.
One Libertarian may not be able to resist being sent to the concentration camps, but one million people might.

Every time the government bombs a country, bans free speech, confiscates guns, wiretaps people, seizes property, tortures, and kills people then you are responsible.
Silence means consent.
You would be naive to think that the government won't get worse or that you will never be a victim of government abuse.
