Hello, I hope you don't mind, but may I subscribe and friend you? I really enjoyed our debate. (Haha, I love discussing religion and philosophy with people of all sorts. xD Weird I guess, but I'm a bit of a sucker for mental challenges.) You made very logical arguments, and that's an attribute I can appreciate. You also seem like a person who knows a good bit about religion and philosophy in general. It's a rare person I find, who can combine all three. ^-^     The names Toast, btw. At least, the name I go by. ^^;;;

@Sola_Deo_Gloria@revelife - 

Certainly; I've no problem with that. I do more reading/commenting than posting nowadays, though (if you can't tell, given the slightly old date of this post).

Hey, I don't mean to take the topic we were debating from the post to here, but my computer has decided that revelife is the devil and I can't post there anymore. Anyways, here's what I've been trying to post for about 20 minutes now..

I understand what you mean. Personally, I'd have no problem with an atheist being president because I don't believe religion should be an issue with a candidate since it SHOULD have no bearing on politics. That being said, I think most voters are from older generations. (Again, I could be wrong.. I know a lot of young people such as myself are starting to get involved.) And older generations also tend to be the more religious crowd. I think people view someone religious and see it as a good quality. They link that with being honest and forthright, if they're religious themselves. So while I'd like to see someone with no religion get chosen, I don't think it would happen.

I don't have a problem with Palin being vocally religious. I will, however, have a problem if she tries instituting her religion into laws and such.

@forgottenrevelations - I would prefer that too, but I'm not going to throw my arms in the air in outrage if it happens.

Thanks for the discussion. I've really enjoyed myself.

Take care.
