It's Fox news. Come on. Of course they want to make religion seem like the hero.

Yeah man WTF, he didnt say anything about religion. he talked about god. And dont be so friggen selfish, just because someone believes in God differently doesnt make it a religious slur.
I only pointed out that God didnt answer their prayers, because God doesnt exist in the way the lady HOPES he does.
Whos being selfish? When you put proof of God in a subject, dont u think people are going to read it? When you call someone stupid or "assume" they are being stupid for having faith in God, I took offense. Im not usually one to debate christianity, but I have plenty of faith in God, and I dont want to read about someone being called stupid because they have faith in God that he will bring home their lost child. If you think people will be offended, then you really shouldnt post it. I know theres a freedom of speech and what not, but do it with some tact. Im not bashingyou, just wished the thread had been removed. Religeon causes a huge debate on forums, especially when kids today are becomming more and more athiest.

Religion is definitely a hot button topic. Everyone is free to believe what they want, and everyone is free to make almost any statement about religion that they desire (I am only reserving statements that are in violation of the law, not that say certain things about religion). It is understandable that you are offended by certain statements, but offending someone is not cause enough to restrict him from saying it.
To some people, a belief in god is just, unbelievable. You can believe that he is goin to hell for it, and you can even state that he will go to hell for it, and no one should be allowed to stop you from saying that, no matter how offensive I or anyone else believes that statement to be.
Catch my drift. You can't just say to people, YOU CAN'T SAY THAT. If you want to change minds, you have to explain and prove why it is incorrect. Unfortunately, with religion, there is no way to prove it. Religion is a Belief, not an obsolute.

Too often people don't give themselves (or others) credit.
Indeed, just like when people thank "God" for giving them children after having some sort medical procedure to help them conceive. You don't hear them thanking the doctors for coming up with something like that. Funny thing, if that same doctor performed an abortion, it would be him being blamed for taking life, but as soon as life is given, it's "God"

You sure? Those dudes in Kansas are sure trying to prove that religion is a SCIENTIFIC FACT, not just a belief.... Anyways, gotta build my shelter for the Rapture now.
