Are you mental? I've called you out on it several times, and maybe others have, too. Are you arguing that we should be mixing science and religion?
I might say that we shouldn't be mixing politics with religion, but both parties do it.
Science will never fully defeat belief. Science has every right to challenge religion but should *never* be used to mock it.
The biggest challenge for organized religion is to appear more rational and less emotional.
(I am preaching to myself! )
As far as science being any sort of religion, I disagree but I might suggest that far-left politics are a spirit if not a religion, and that spirit sure isn't Holy!

My Goats Hear My Voice

The Goats in Matthew 25 were all the followers of Jesus.
That's nothing more than an opinion from a critical thinker rather than a believer.
Learn to read the Bible as well.
Learn to believe rather than throw God away.
That's not the type of Sunday school teacher I would ever feel comfortable with!
You might do more to dissuade people from having faith than any other person I know.
To be fair, 1776 is no prize either!

Re: Learn to read the Bible
Are you suggesting that the Church Folk are the equivalent of the modern Pharisees?
Ye shall know them by their fruits.
Drag Queen story hour at the local library does by and large *not* produce good fruit. It simply displays a secular ideology and LGBQT Rights. I would think twice before letting my kid immerse themselves in progressive culture.
