[QUOTE="Zoomerz, post: 12392, member: 390"] [b]Re: Election rigged? Nah ;)[/b] Harte; I know you directed your comments to K@t5, and I don't mean to interupt. I would like to make a comment on one of your statements above... While I agree that it would be very difficult for a *believer* to seperate his/her political views from their religious ones, I disagree that the same holds true for an athiest. That is, unless you are specifically refering to their views on religion in government. Since an athiest's moral values are not based (or derived from) the word of a god, there truly is "nothing to seperate".
