I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to understand- you cannot reason with religious nuts. It’s why the founders didn’t want them anywhere near government. Trying to reason with them is about as effective with trying to reason with a rabid animal. It’s just not in their nature. If you can’t contain them, then you put them out of their (political) misery. You don’t try to access a part of their reasonable human brain that has been rotten away. [/quote]

Good point. There is a difference between what our founders were dealing with and what our government today is dealing with in regards to religion's influence on government. The percentage of the population 250 years ago that would be categorized as evangelical was much, much higher than where that figure stands today. With each passing generation religion has continually become less and less ingrained in our culture. The percentage of people in this country that are truly conservative evangelicals today is no more than 20% and declining rapidly as the older generations pass on. Our founders were balancing practical government in a society where a vast majority of people were ultra religious conservatives. Our founders were successful at that balancing act. This makes me wonder why evangelicals are given such a loud voice in government today especially as it pertains to the abortion issue. The complete abortion bans or close to absolute bans enacted or on the table in conservative leaning states do not reflect the views of the majority in those states. The majority in those states may want more restrictive abortion policies than the majority do in liberal leaning states but no where close to all out bans. The elected legislatures in those states see more benefit in further dividing the two "sides" than they do in serving to the wants and needs of their electorate. It's sad and disgusting. [/quote]
