Here is a quote from you...
  Religion has become a crime and you can help fight the crime.  Let people
know
  that you think religion is as silly as superstition.  Demand the removal
of religion
  from our laws and government.  Demand that real estate properties of
religious
  organizations be taxed the same as non-religious properties.

Response:

[ holy moley! Most religious people I know work hard, pay their taxes, take
care of their families, good
 community folks. You want to throw them all in jail!?! Other idiots like
Stalin set out to stomp out religion. All he
succeeded in doing was to cut off his own nose...killing millions of his
countrymen in the process.
You have become an oppressive "liberator" in that you think you know better
and will force your "solution" if you can.
If you are too full of hate and anger to understand what I say, than you
are part of the problem. Intolerance is a sign
of severe corruption of heart. The treasure that this country has enjoyed
via the freedom of religious expression is a more
live-and-let-live environment. In areas where Islamic law prevails....or in
China....]

[We should be fighting to get rid of property tax for everyone. Why should
we(anyone) be
 renting our property from the govt? Income should be the vehicle for
raising money as it reflects ability to pay. Many old
folks, disabled, etc. get pushed out of their homes. This is oppressive.]

Read "Darwin's Black Box". Darwin did not even know about, DNA, etc.  Dr.
Behe presents a series of questions and
concrete cases which the evolutionary system just cannot cope with. I
disagree with his "solution" which is a theistic evolution,
however he presents his case against an unguided evolution well.
