... There is evidence in abundance that evolution is fact. Some disagree, in spite of the evidence and the facts.

... Some believe that we will all be reincarnated, and the form we will take in the next life depends on the life we live now. There is zero evidence to back this up, yet it is believed by hundreds of millions.

... Belief in something that flies in the face of evidence and fact - this is, if not religious, at the very least delusional.

... (Die hard) leftists can be, generally, accurately described then as religious or delusional, for what you hear them say deals frequently with emotion and very seldom with fact... All the while the "preachers of the gospel" continue to hammer away with half-truths, unsubstantiated claims, and outright lies, as if the content of such were written in stone by the holiest of holies, never to be questioned.

... Take a look at our local "Truth Team" member - a perfect example - blinders willingly worn and preaching "the word" - a true zealot.

Various thinkers have pointed out that leftism is a kind of religion albeit not in the strict sense of the word, due to the fact that it does not include, nor claim the existence of, any supernatural being. But for the leftist, its philosophy plays a psychological role much like religion does for religious people. The leftist needs to believe in leftism, and this is not easily modified by logic or facts. There is a deep conviction that leftism is morally right with a capital “R” and has, not only a right, but a duty to impose leftism morality on everyone. Worse, many leftists do not recognize themselves as leftists, nor think their system of beliefs, as ‘leftism’, yet they impose their views on everyone else, much like a Bible thumping Christian might. Their zeal even goes so far as to justify robbing Peter to pay Paul, and when their policies don't work, they dogmatically do the same thing, over and over and over again.

The leftists drive is for totalitarianism and power, and their principles are in direct conflict with core America principles and Christianity. Leftists actually get the sense of power from the struggle and reaching of a goal, much like how a religious person might be "saved" or how a religious person is "born again" every Sunday at worship. The main problem lies in that Individuals who are religiously leftists derive satisfaction when their views and policies are imposed on other people, but that does not fill the hollow soul, it just results in a drive for more.

The main objective is to create a perfect utopia. In other words, they seek to bring heaven to earth, and their heaven is filled with horrors.

If we don't all convert to Leftist now, the Rightists will run this country straight into the ground. Conservatives hate freedom, and want to control every aspect of your personal life, while selling you to the Corporations.

Sort of.

Freedom when it works; state control when it doesnt or when it comes to delivering certain goods and services (that I see as basic human rights).

Im just defending leftists for now, but in reality im more of a centerist (economically).

Socially, however, im a fairly extreme liberal.

Would you disagree with that?


Only if you were talking about folks like the Moral Majority and such. Why do you ask?
