I have thought about it... it's a dumb idea that "liberalism" is a "teenage" philosophy.
It’s not an idea, it is a fact. Teenagers are overwhemingly Democrats. Many grow up and wise up as they age and gain real-world experience.
1) Most people don't make enough money to vote Republican.
2) The way they get those people to vote Republican is to play on their sexual, religious and racial fears.
3) Eventually, if you appeal to the crazies long enough, they take over the asylum.
1) I thought Republicans were poor trailer trash? Are you finally admitting wthat the demographics show which is that as income increases(success) as does the likelihood of voting Republican?
2) Or perhaps the way they get the anti-religious folks like yourself to vote for Democrats is to play on your hatred of all things religious, despite the common sense reality that our country was built on Christian values and much of our success as a nation can be attributed to this fact.
3) The crazies are by far on the left. I am not sure how anyone could debate that fact. Find virtually a deviant of any kind and the odds they are a Democrat is very high.
Uh, yeah, because usually when you believe you are doing the will of an imaginary fairy in the sky, you tend to do really evil shit.
You have this quite backwards. When you answer to no one except the government, you tend to do whatever you can get away with. If you are not held accountable when you die, why not? If you die and that is it, why not do anything and everything you can while you are alive no matter how it affects others or society. I do not believe that people are innately moral, but quite the opposite.
For those that believe that we are all simply products of evolution, we are no better than animals which have a signficantly different view of “right and wrong” than we do. Their right and wrong is based on what is best for themselves, their offspring and perhaps, in rare cases, their species. If they need a warm and secure place to sleep, displacing another animal and even killing it is perfectly acceptable. If they are hungry and need to eat, taking another animal’s food that they worked for is perfectly acceptable. Anything that benefits them is perfectly acceptable. Essentially there is no global right and wrong. To paraphrase the Bible, everyone does what is right in his own eyes. In today’s vernacular, if it feels good do it. Anti-religious folks, typically Democrats, have no moral compass other than their own. There is no concrete source for their version of morality. It can change with the wind and often does based on how it benefits them at the time. That is very dangerous, and in fact, is not “moral” at all in my mind.
Furthermore, any direction on “morality” from the anti-religious is gleamed their leaders, they themselves without direction, other than self-interest. Truly the blind leading the blind.
