ACTIONpack Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 wheres the yes because I don't give a **** about religion? I would think the second Yes would cover that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praetor Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 OP, this is second thread you create related to religion and atheists in less then a hour.. do you want to make a point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagisan Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 wheres the yes because I don't give a **** about religion? That would be option 1. Because option 2 says "Yes because I care he is atheist" and option 3 says "No because I care she is atheist".....option 1 is the "Yes, religion doesn't affect my political views" choice.

siah1214 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 To whomever voted for the 2nd option, you're crazy. You'd vote for ANYONE, just because they were an atheist? Congrats on electing Joseph Stalin.. I picked the first option because religion shouldn't have jack to do with running a country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firey Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 The problem is.. with #1.. it's saying "Yes I would vote BECAUSE I am atheist" not "I would vote because religion means nothing to me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praetor Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 lol just saw that the pool is broken: option 3 refers to a "she" while the 2nd option refer to a "he". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nagisan Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 The problem is.. with #1.. it's saying "Yes I would vote BECAUSE I am atheist" not "I would vote because religion means nothing to me" By that logic, you are saying you would vote for them BECAUSE you don't care about religion.....how is that any different? I honestly don't understand your misunderstanding of options 1.....option 1 states "Yes, IF I have the same political views".....just because two people have the same religious standing doesn't mean they have the same political views.... I'm agnostic and I vote for the candidate that I share the most political views with......based on what you said, I am voting on those candidates because they are also agnostic, which obviously they are not.

compl3x Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 OP's next topic: if you're an atheist would you atheist your atheism? I try to vote for competent leaders; their religious ideology is of little concern to me. grayscale, Vykranth, Wapoz and 1 other 4 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nashy Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'm more concerned with the fact that we have religious people in government. It holds us back.Stem cells. That is all. Wapoz and GotBored 2 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McKay Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I don't care what religion a leader has, as long as if he does have one, he doesn't let it influence his decision making. The second he tries to drag religion into his job he should be sent out the door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arachno 1D Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 What happens if the candidates worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster or some other exotic cult does that still make them non-religious in your eyes.Ergo what are you counting as a religion? Religion the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods: a particular system of faith and worship: Atheist a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GotBored Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I think it would be more likely that I would vote for someone who is an atheist, but only after I agreed with their political views. No offense to anyone who is religious but I think anyone who believes a man sits in the sky and controls everything is illogical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anibal P Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Sure, why not, we voted a Muslim into office and didn't elect a Mormon, can't worse than being a Mormon, right? What happens if the candidates worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster or some other exotic cult does that still make them non-religious in your eyes.Ergo what are you counting as a religion? Religion the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods: a particular system of faith and worship: Atheist a person who disbelieves or lacks belief in the existence of God or gods: Well we seem to have drawn the line a Mormons as not good to be President, anything more exotic than that will have a real hard time gaining any traction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris123NT Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I would have no problem with an athiest president, as long as he/she isn't as crazy as Obama is and actually WORKS with congress through compromise rather than stomping his feet like a little kid.

LittleNeutrino Veteran Posted January 29, 2014 Veteran Share Posted January 29, 2014 A; Yes, if the person has the countries best interests in mind why would I vote based on religious bias?
