Few things are more important at this time in history than for religious people to listen to the New Atheists as if these unbelievers were speaking with God's voice, because they are!

Too many of us have lost the passion and emotion of the remarkable things we-ve done in space.

religious believe years
I believe people ought to be treated fairly under the law.

You could have both traditional marriage, which I believe in. And then you could also have the neutrality of the law that allows people to have contracts with another. Rand Paul

religious islamic government
I’m not for profiling people on the color of their skin, or on their religion, but I would take into account where they've been traveling and perhaps, you might have to indirectly take into account whether or not they've been going to radical political speeches by religious leaders. It wouldn't be that they are Islamic. But if someone is attending speeches from someone who is promoting the violent overthrow of our government, that’s really an offense that we should be going after — they should be deported or put in prison. Rand Paul
