Religious Ramblings

So we booked the tickets for the trip to Kansas for a family wedding. This should be lots of fun considering it is with part of my family that is overly religious and I am overly not religious. This is also one of the reasons that we do not fit in well here in the south. In my experience people lose perspective and objectivity when their lives become clouded by a man made religion. Evidence of this is abundant if you just look at the headlines in our news today. I really feel that people need to be more tolerant and if they are going to believe in a religion they should not force it on others and yes this includes prayer in school and other things that some consider harmless. Our nation was founded on Freedom of Religion and our fore fathers were very leery of any state and religion mingling. They saw what happened in England and how their views were persecuted and did not want to see that happen again. Re read you history books and find some compassion people or this wonderful country is not going to be so wonderful anymore.
