Godless conservatives?
I'm curious about godless conservatives. Even if they feel there's some doctrinal positions they align themselves with, how can they put up with the incessant god-bothering? That right there has got to be a deal breaker. George Will comes to mind, though to his credit, he's somewhat backed away from the proto-fascism he helped foster.
The way I see it is, "My God says so!" is not an argument, and an argument plus, "My God says so!" is not a better argument

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Some have posed that same question in the conservative groups on agnostic.com. I haven't seen any level headed response to that question. In my opinion they have a different level of dislike for religion then others on this site. I think they feel religion is tolerable.

I saw their group here, but didn't go over because it says they choose not to discuss opposing views. I was thinking if I threw the question out there, maybe some modern day Ayn Rand might offer some perspective.
@WilliamCharles Its most of the nastiness you see on Facebook. There have been a few people that you can talk about the differences in opinion on politics, but for the most part it is name calling. I let them be in their group, however when one wonders out of the cave and trolls someone it's fair game.
It still reminds me of Log Cabin Republicans, or black KKK. The level of disconnect is frightening. I think a solid humanist case can be made for working together.
