I suggest you shut your mouth and quit whining like a sissy.
Is it allowed here at JPP to impugn the virtue of a poster's mother as an insult without really meaning it?

Dear Readers:

Not what I saw. I know what he meant but then again, I could be mistaken.
Do you think people can be moral without religion yourself? I want to know your opinion.
I believe with 99% certainty that ALL morality is either based on religion in some way, and/or that the desire to make everyone more moral is the reason for religion.
The problem with this OP and its author is that he is looking for certain things, and will reject out of hand as "commie" or "socialist" anything that doesn't fit in his Wish Box. Nevertheless, here goes.
The United States needs to ditch the ACA and institute a true national health plan similar to Medicare. Basic services are covered; citizens may purchase (or receive through their employers) supplemental plans just like we use Medicare B and D. Companies will no longer need to offer health care insurance, unless they want to offer the supplements as hiring incentives. In exchange we will raise their taxes slightly to pay for the new plan. Nonprofit hospitals and other providers will receive higher reimbursement rates than for-profits as an incentive to return to the nonprofit model that served us so well in the past. To forestall any crying from the RW about illegals, this plan will *only* be for U.S. citizens.
What do you think about the Code of Hammurabi?
What should I think about it, in your opinion?
yes, so long as you do not involve minor children in her loss of virtue.......
Morality and laws were established long before any major religion.
Then, could religion be viewed as an attempt to popularize, standardize and make widespread a particular brand of morality?

Yep. We have plenty of examples all over the world today and in the past.
While a tree can grow in Brooklyn, Brooklyn is not where one goes to harvest lumber.
I will concede the point that some sense of morality, to one degree or another, can and does exist in some (how many? what %?) individuals without religion, but was Washington saying he was speaking of the individual or as the leader of a country inhabited by 2,500,000 people?
I love this quote from the movie, "Men In Black".
A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it. Fifteen hundred years ago everybody knew the Earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew the Earth was flat, and fifteen minutes ago, you knew that humans were alone on this planet. Imagine what you'll know tomorrow.
I had a feeling our Founding Fathers knew of this, hence the reason for the Constitution.
I am aware of that. They can try and fail if they want to.
LOL. This isn't like one of those 007 movies.
There are no Communists or Islamists who decide the course of America.
No just leftists deciding the course of America but that's almost lore dangerous as they donut under the guise of caring about america. At least with communists or islamists we know what we are getting.
I'll the be sure to jot down how Iraq didn't actually happen.
