Canadian Election

[Hooker]

No more splitting votes and possibly less religious influence on government, with the aim of having less religious fanaticism in society.

Put down the Koolaid...

[Auston'sWilly]

How about this? The Liberal Party and NDP join forces, just like the Conservative Party did, so that there is an even playing field. One team has stacked the deck, this would even things out a little more. No more splitting votes and possibly less religious influence on government, with the aim of having less religious fanaticism in society.

Well, fanaticism is never good. In any context.
But in my experience, many people could use a little religion in their lives. It would right a lot of ships. Not all. But many. God bless you.

Which religion? Christianity? Mormon? Jehovah? Muslim? Buddhist? Sihk? Satanism? Scientology? If Christian which branch? Catholicism, Protestantism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Anglicanism, Oriental Orthodoxy, and Assyrians. of course, Restorationism is sometimes considered the seventh branch. No. Remove religion altogether from politics. Hell, remove it altogether and the world would be a better place imo.

If I say 'Preach it' does that make me a hypocrite?

Isn't not following a specific religion a religious act in its own??

Your link is for the day of the election. And was STILL at 70% which is meant to point out what anyway ?
3 or 4 days before the US election, a model (from the same dude who correctly predicted 49 states in 2012) was 98-99% certain Hillary would win.
Your beloved CNN even had her at 91% the day before the election.

I would just like to point out that 70%, 98%-99% and 91% are not 100%...

Must you really remind me of my high school days!?

[Rylant]

And some of the world's greatest atrocities throughout mankind's history, have been in the name of Religion. Many current and past religious systems are in amongst the most corrupt of all time. I am VERY ok with less religion...

No.

Why not? Isn't a religion just a belief system? and choosing to not believe in God means you are choosing to believe that??

It just seems strange to me to bash a poll that claims a 91% certainty of something happening, when the other thing happens...

No, not believing in a higher, spirtual power is not a from of religion. Look up Agnostic and Atheism for clarification before this election thread REALLY goes off the religious rails.

I'm not going to stir up this here, but in short this is not correct. If you're interested I'd suggest taking this question to one of the many online forums where people love to discuss this stuff. You'd probably find it really interesting!

You cant have politics and religion in the same thread. Just too much for one thread to handle.
