Re: obeying laws secular style
I think the mouthpieces of religion brainwash people, no religion ever brainwashed anyone. The same is true for secularism. Communist russia brainwashed and forced their secular ideas to the people. Bush is bombing Iraq which has lead to over 100000 innocent civilian deaths in order to spread democracy.
Regardless of whether it is religion or secularism , whatever forces its ideas instead of convincing the other person is wrong.
I don't agree with blind faith or following a feeling neither do I agree with the secularist idea that God has no right to legislate which also doesn't make sense. Secularism implies the existence of God yet they think that a limited intellect of a human can legislate and God cannot.
Why do you have a problem with justifying your stance or discussing your opinion? If humans have an option to be religious then why do you have a problem since secularism allows it.
I'm not convinced of democracy or theocracy.
