I know what you mean. I've seen some of those polls, and the options for response are pretty limited. That's the problem with many multiple choice opinion questions - every possible opinion can't be included, and you end up either choosing the least inaccurate option, or opting out of participation, and either way, the numbrs are not a true ref;lection of the general population Of course, polls are often designed and worded to get the response needed by the person paying for them.
I've run into that sort of thing elsewhere. The census, for one. I recall checking a lot of boxes simply marked "Other." Since I seem to have been relegated, at least for the nonce, to our country's demographic junk drawer, I'm in the process of remodeling it into a shrine.
I've mentioned before filling out pre-op forms at a doctor's office. The question of religios preference listed choices of Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim, None, or Other with a blank next to it. I filled in the blank with Pagan, and when I got the form back to sign after it had been typed, my religion was listed as None. I refused to sign it until it had been corrected.

Paganplace:

I still find it interesting that polls, when they were done before the rise of the Religious Right, were meant to alarm 'the base' how much of America (a plurality) reported being 'spiritual not religious,' ...now that they're elected, they say, "Ninety Percent believe in God."


Heck, I've taken those polls. According to how they phrase those questions, *I* believe in the Christian God.

Horse hockey. :)

As a Catholic and Hispanic I believe it is best to keep Church and State separate, and no prayers in Congress.

Otherwise, one is only providing opportunities for congress, for example, to act cruelly, and yet sanitize its cruelties from public view with a prayer that precedes and ´blesses´ the sin.

BGone:

You wrote, "Religious secularism enters the fray with the least amount of support, endurance and possibility of victory." and went on under that assumption. The assumption you make is that secularism isn't spiritual. Far from so.

One need not have an expectation of supernatural beings of a given gender and image, male ball of fire for easy example, to have undying faith in God, spirituality by your standard. Therefore seculars are just as spiritual as all others and perhaps more so.

You are suggesting a patent on God, spirituality that shuts seculars out. Your patent is on Devil. God may not be patented but I agree that a pseudo patent exists on several supernatural beings. Ecumenicality is the rolling of all versions of Devil into one under the enlightened guidance of the pope.

http://www.hoax-buster.org/sellyoursoul tells me you are way ahead of yourself. You need to verify God else the patent office must reject. Being very agreeable I'm honoring your patent on Devil. You may keep Him. We seculars with our undying faith in God don't need Him. Even Bubba is smarter than to call Devil God. Your reliance on Bubba's lack of intelligence is quicksand or worse.

Devil worship is the greatest sin of them all. Can't help but notice how quickly Devil worshipers violate other commandments, 5, 6, 7 and 8 in massive orgies of sin. Son of ball-of-fire God says He forgives but wouldn't the Devil forgive sins? Sin is His favorite subject ya know.

Another thing? What do you mean, "possibility of victory"? Are we at war? The heat you feel is the fire of hell, "Nearer my God to Thee"
