__._,_._This type of post deeply saddens me. It saddens me more when it comes from educated persons who remain steeped in cultures and traditions that, in the end, respect only those they deem worthy and that really translates into respect for no one, including themselves.
"Liberalism is a mental disorder" is not my statement. It will be wrong to assume that that is my statement. That is the title of the book Dr. Michael Savage wrote, which was in the best seller list for a long time, and I just quoted it. You guys are upset with me for wrong reasons. Why are you so surprised that I quoted Dr. Savage's statement? Have you listened to him? Keep listening him with your open mind. He is a true Nationalist. You will see, he makes perfect sense. Have you noticed moral decay of the western civilization? Have you seen what's coming from Hollywood recently? Have you noticed they are teaching in the kindergartens that Larry is so lucky that he has two mothers or two dads? This is not to say that there is anything wrong with Larry having two dads or two mothers. The objection is for the tendency towards the brain-washing of youngsters as if that is the social norm. This particular family situation should have been taught as an
exception, not norm. There are so many issues like this.
Finally, I am not an atheist. I believe in God. I talk to Him when I am in trouble. I do not know what He is. I believe in the theory of evolution of humankind, but I do not know about the evolution of other species. In spite of all these, there has to be an origin. There is ample controversy over the origin of species. Science tends to believe in an accident. May be, I am not sure yet. Until then, I keep believing in God, the originator and designer. About the creator, all I know, for sure, is that my parents created me. I think about millions of other species on earth and space, each one is independent and automated. Where do they come from? Why are they so different? Some of them survive only with bare minimal, others are so complex. Who designed all these? Whatever happened to their evolutions? I do not know.

Nationalism is as bad as religion when it comes to separating people into groups. When people are in groups, they think only of their group. They can even be induced to give up their own lives for the group. How much self-respect is exhibited in that action? The world need to be rid of the kind of religious thinking that anyone outside one's own groups is bad and a just target.
What do you mean by moral decay? Do you mean the kind of moral decay exhibited by New York's governor Elliot Spitzer whose own moral crusade did not extend to himself? Do you think that Gov. Spitzer respected himself or his seemingly normal family?
As for the teaching in kindergarten, is it better to teach children to obey priests that abuse them and parents who slap them up against a wall or force them into marriage etc.? The same people who are against a woman's right to abort a fetus keep the unwanted children in orphanages or foster homes to be shuttled from pillar to post. The majority of those children grow up to lives of crime and are further abused by a justice system that serves no one justly.
Families mean diddly squat, when it comes down to it. Children and women are possessions, even in western countries. So spare me the rhetoric about families. I have never seen one family, from the highest to the lowest, worthy of being held up as a model and that includes my own family.
Now to God. God is a man made concept. You illustrated the reason for this concept perfectly when you said you talk to god when you are in trouble. Well, you could talk to the sea or the wind for all the good it will do you. But I don't have to tell you that.
However, what banged does indeed seem to be a pivotal question when it comes to the origin of the universe. We don't know and postulating a He gods only illustrates how blocked we are in the concept of male domination and, worse, male wisdom. So, believe in a He god, if you will, but keep your beliefs to yourself. Allow me the right to live my life free from the moral crusades of the Eliot Spitzer's of the world.
