Conservatives seem to define a person without religion as one without morals and ethics. Not true. In fact, quite the opposite. I often feel my morals and ethics arise above many "Christians" in the area I live. Not trying to sound like I'm self-righteous just speaking the truth as I'm seeing it here. Signed just an ole hippy in a redneck state.

I am non-religious and go with socially liberal, but financial conservative. I don't care what consenting adults do in their bedrooms. But think you should live within you means. Keep on a tight budget. And for the government, no deficit spending, and corporate welfare, and be kind to all of our citizens. We live on earth, and we should take care of it. No messing in our nest.

I'm now liberal than anything. My problem worth gay rights, is that it forgets that sometimes abused kids will develop attractiveness to same sex if they had a bad relationship with that parent. Assuming everyone is born like that, can be harmful. Some are, some aren't. It's ok with me either way. Just thought ide throw that in there.

Well, I've always understood being liberal as being flexible in belief, open to change, and then some. Whilst being conservative means no to change, keep things the way they are, stick with what works, and always play it safe.

Not all Liberals have the exact same belief systems-I'm sure the same holds true for Conservatives. We do have a few Conservatives here. NO JUDGEMENT FOLKS.

"Religion is like a penis. Is fine to have and be proud of it. Is when you wave at my face that I have a problem with" ????

My thoughts regarding morals are how superior people are who arrived with them pre-packed -- as opposed to those apparently needing them carved into stone, rammed down their throats, or enforced with threats of punishment and/or eternal damnation…

Religion is fraught with hypocrisy, as humans are too complex to conform. It’s a from of control, with uneven benefits. It’s just wrong, on too many accounts… We’re taught to doubt ourselves, our desires, our observations, our methods … because they may conflict with those currently ‘in control.’ Free-thinkers threaten the power structure of religions, thus we’re feared, even ‘demonized.’ It’s not us - it’s them.

It is mind boggling that these people think that we get our morals from an angry, petty, jealous, genocidal, misogynistic tyrant.
