With enough votes, maybe CNN will consider it when they pick the questions. I would like to see this question asked so I went to the web site and voted for it.

Mustn't rile the sheeple, you know. I added my two cents, but somehow, even if it is far and away the highest vote-getter, I doubt we will ever see the question asked at the debate.

We all know that speaking like the godless folks are people who count is a route to hell. I do not see CNN taking the huge amount of anger they would get for even asking that question. I am sure they would loose thousands of viewers. Not to mention the death threats and hate mail. <br /> <br /> I am afraid American society is not mature enough to act any different. I do not give up on raising them, I just think it is too soon for their little minds to accept. For now it is best to be careful what you say around them, they may react violently to complicated ideas. Then we may have to put them to bed without dinner. I would advocate a spanking but my knee is already sore from the huge amounts of spankings I have already administered to many of them. lol, CNN is risking eternal damnation?

"It's a question of reason vs. faith".<br /> <br /> Also, don't forget you can vote against questions that you think are frivolous.

I am afraid American society is not mature enough to act any different. I do not give up on raising them, I just think it is too soon for their little minds to accept.

Wow…doesn’t this statement speak volumes…?

How tough it must be for those, who feel that they are so superior to their peers, to live day to day…

You know, I actually believe it’s the opposite…over 90% of American’s believe in their God…with comments made on this board it seems to me it’s the non-believers who don’t understand religion…yeah, I’ll get the typical “but I grew up in church” or “I’ve read the bible”, but comments made prove my point…

One can read a book on physics and not understand it…but that certainly doesn’t make them smarter or more “superior” to those that do understand it…

JournalistsHave Warned of Climate Change for 100 years, but can’t decide weather we face an ice age or warming.

What kind of crap is that, I’m not really interested in what the journalists think, All you have to do is look at the ice core data. Do you understand what exponential
