		<description>Well i see the stats and its astonishing to see The 2008 results [of the American Religious Identification Survey], to be released today, are based on 54,000 interviews with a margin of error of plus or minus 0.5%. It finds that, despite population growth and immigration adding nearly 50 million more adults, almost all denominations have lost ground since the first ARIS data was released in 1990.</description>

		<description>Well i think that by excluding religious expression, and Christian expression and symbols in particular, from the classroom, school officials have exhibited the kind of hostility toward religion that should never be found in an American public school</description>

		<description>I&#039;m not a republican, but I do hate democrats.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;It&#039;s not exaggeration by much. The words of your leg-tingling Obama prove that. The fool actually thinks he can stop booms and busts...only a god could do that.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Delusional democrats...if they only have the right people writing the right words on pieces of paper, then magic can happen!</description>

		<description>What amuses me is that when you consider the incentives people have historically had for taking an adversarial position against the state, the list pretty much includes every item the Will Wilkinsons denigrate: people have typically have rebelled against incursions against their religions, their families, their local communities, their ethnic identification - in short, their &quot;tribes&quot;. And yet, you visit the website of a reputed &quot;anti-statist&quot; and right on the front page every one of those things is either attacked or, at minimum, contemptuously dismissed.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Somehow, I don&#039;t get the feeling many people are willing to man the barricades in defense of gay marriage, or for the privilege of having their countries crap-flooded with foreign nationals. Indeed, it&#039;s more likely they&#039;ll rebel at having those things imposed on them from a central authority  - not once has gay marriage survived a popular referendum, even in California.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;In short, the Will Wilkinsons propose to make us free by undermining the appreciation of values that have historically made freedom desirable enough to strive for, even to fight and die for.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Libertarianism == totalitarianism-in-waiting.</description>

		<description>Increasing moral liberalization and secularization within the confines of an ever-increasing social welfare system is &lt;b&gt;not&lt;/b&gt; a very welcome trend.  It is a recipe for financial disaster.</description>

		<description>There&#039;s a very welcome trend where more and more Americans are smoking half a pack of cigarettes a day.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The health effects of being irreligious are just as bad.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Every civilization in decline has its Will Wilkinson&#039;s cheering on the end.</description>

		<description>The &quot;tradition&quot; and &quot;orthodoxy&quot; is the same in both cases. &quot;Tradition&quot; and &quot;orthodoxy&quot; are code-words for &quot;tribalism&quot;. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The East African Plains Ape is a social species. Your social group, tribe, religious sect, was never chiefly about a belief system. It was about the comfort that came with collective responsibility, mutual support, and so on. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So today, the local &quot;mega-church&quot; replaces the &quot;tradition&quot; and &quot;orthodoxy&quot; as the source of this social comfort. Nothing very mysterious about it. All that&#039;s happened in Europe, and what&#039;s happening here, is that this definition of &quot;tribe&quot; has expanded to include the collective social responsibility.</description>
