"A good person will do good; a bad person may do good if the carrot (heaven), or stick (hell), is strong enough to deter them from acting bad"

no. A bad person will say that God wants them to do whatever bad they are doing.
It becomes an excuse.

Yes, public property should be devoid of all religious symbols.
I don't care if you have a manger and the words Christmas on you property.
To put it in a public space is to force a religion onto all the people.

We have Freedom of religion for a reason.

The military FORCING people to be christian and pray is a BAD thing.
There has been a big push to get more religion(Christianity) into the military.
The Mid-East used to be pretty free and open, then religious group started infecting the government, and withing a decade religion was forced onto all the people, and te countries generally stopped producing anything and became ces pools.

Remember, ISIS is claiming the are religiously oppressed because they can't make other people bent to their religion.

Religion alows the ignorant to think what they do is for God, therefore it's OK.

"As a mystic I have _knowledge_ by definition, aka experience."
false. Completly and utterly false. Are you simple?

"Athiest[sic] telling other people what they can and cannot know is the height of ignorance and arrogance. "
which is why we ask for proof.

"They are literally like the blind man telling those who can see color that they are delusional."
so now you are saying you have special vision no one else has? Hoe convenient.
You are simple.

Sorry, what's an "RO filter"?

Reverse osmosis, which uses water pressure both to push water through a plastic membrane (the osmosis part) but also to back-flush the filter. An "efficient" RO filter wastes about 10 parts of water for each 1 part filtered, but we have a well and a septic system so no harm done really.

The laws of war generally oppose weapons intentionally intended to maim rather than kill. Mostly dates to popular revulsion around the WW1 era over weapons designed to inflict nonlethal but gruesome casualties to hobble the other side by flooding their hospitals and supply chains. As a result, countries agreed to a ban on various chemical weapons, expanding bullets, weapons designed to blind people, etc.

We don't care that the NSA spies on you. That's what we pay them for, you fuzzy little foreigner.

We do care that the NSA spies on us. We care even more if they build a file on every person in the government and become a shadow government.

I want to see the NSA files on congress, the members of the federal courts and the last 50 years of executive branches and candidates. I don't want them to stop snooping on members of government, I just want the information made public.

It's called a stalemate an it is the ideal outcome for a war between two of your enemies.

For example Iran/Iraq of the 1980s was a wonderful war. We aren't beyond holding our noses and helping the losers continue to fight the good fight. We won't help them win, we will help them not lose.
