Your comments:
>Whats the difference between having faith in god and governement? Well, I can not go to church if I loose my faith. If I loose faith in my country, I have to leave the country, this is something I've considered for quite a while (I'm thinking about being a Canuck with Evan in Vancouver), but I'll wait to see if America can get its laws back in order before I do. Also, the government is real, and effects my life, day to day. I've seen no evidence that god has that same power.

>If you have no faith in god there is no one except for you that would keep you out of church. Even those that are kicked out of a church can find another church to attend. Lacking faith in our government does not exclude you from enjoying the freedoms we have which you may or may not appreciate. Again each of these reactions are up to you and you are not forced by others to choose what to do. Going to church or staying in the United States are decisions that you alone can make. The options are yours and yours alone.


Mike let me break this down a bit more.

Your statement:
Well, I can not go to church if I loose my faith.

My reply:
If you have no faith in god there is no one except for you that would keep you out of church. Even those that are kicked out of a church can find another church to attend.

Your statement:
I have to leave the country, this is something I've considered for quite a while (I'm thinking about being a Canuck with Evan in Vancouver), but I'll wait to see if America can get its laws back in order before I do. Also, the government is real, and effects my life, day to day. I've seen no evidence that god has that same power.
