Just addressing this part and not your entire post. Your assertions regarding child labor are incorrect. I invite you to read the following material:

To be honest etep, I don't wish to debate Christian morality. I have my beliefs and I don't see them changing anytime soon. I feel I have led a morally correct life for the most part, and have asked forgiveness to those I trangressed upon and God. Some of it, I still haven't forgiven myself though others have. I have raised my children with strong moral compasses and with the adopted and foster....I have some work to do.

The only thing I have to add is thank you. You have made your position clear and stood by your convictions. That is to be commended. I continue to disagree with your basic stance. But I won't tell you to shut up and sit down, not unless your political base begins to actually make headway and start this country towards a theocracy. At such a time there will be nothing left but a vicious fight. Peace be with you.

As you get older you will realize that there is much good in many religions and that you are no better and have no better chance of heaven than the rest of humanity.

Personally I think organized religion is part of the problem and is responsible for more murder than anything since the beginning of time .

I agree with all this. Especially the bolded part. Every single major war this world has ever seen, has had religion involved in some capacity. Religion is a disease, based on blind faith, thats responsible for many a deaths.

I choose NOT to pollute my mind with such nonsense.

Actually, when God was asked why he did not send help (to aid the weak and oppressed), he replied by saying that he did send help. He sent his followers to help the weak and the poor. There is nothing mysterious about God's ways. Those who are in positions to help the poor should do so, since that is what god expects of them.

How are my assertions incorrect? The first page goes on an on about how the government took freedom away from parents. I didn't get to the 2nd one. The third one didn't load.

If you do the things you say you do, then are living up to God's standards. If my political base starts to make headway, then telling me to shut up will be useless. That's basically what happened in the last election with the left. Now they run the country for the moment and no matter how much any republican tells them to buzz off, they will get their agenda through. Also, you should know that the Bible does advocate theocracy and government control, rather than secular democracy and small government.

In many wars, monarchs exploited religious belief to further their agenda. However, that was not the cause of war. Imperialism and greed begin most wars.
