both, and for the same reason.... i get very passionate in debates and it makes me crazy when some doesnt want to hear what i have to say but they want to force what they have to say on me. i'm willing to listen to all point of views, you have the freedom of speech in this country, you do not, however have the right to be taken seriously. as for which is more effective, hmm, i would have to say the religious questions. if i were to ask something along the lines of "would you die for God"? the athiests would come out in force with barely anyone showing up on the Christian side, however, if i make a statement that God doesnt exist and i need proof, every God fearing Christian within 10 miles of an internet connection will be there to answer it.

I am all for a lively debate or discussion of these hot topics, but only to foster dialogue and perhaps even to enlighten and learn- not to hear oneself speak or to bait them. What's the purpose in that?
I don't really quite understand the effectiveness question - neither side is effective unless they have a open conversation and will at least let the other person speak - not to make the other side unhappy.
What cheeses me is when people try to push their ideals on me and not listen to mine, instead of presenting their concepts and listening to mine in an open discussion. OK to disagree, just consider the other's right to their beliefs and opinions and to listen to another viewpoint to another voice. Closed minds that will not allow this to happen makes me angry

I particularly have considered rather some lawsuits like that. i will basically wager that persons who try this have not a clue approximately what it is to be an American and desire to rewrite the form to basically grant rights to those that trust them. 3 of the main important founding concepts of our u . s . have been freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the main remarkable to petition the government for replace. absolutely everyone has that precise no rely what they think. If a needed Christian or an atheist needs to run for political workplace so as that they could have greater impact in the regulation-making technique they could do so. this is a few thing which could be celebrated somewhat than condemned. As has been attributed to Voltaire (yet particularly replaced into written first by using Evelyn Beatrice hall): "I disagree with what you assert, yet i will guard to the dying your precise to declare it." If somebody can not include that concept they do no longer understand what citizenship in this u . s . is all approximately.

I think if you ask a question or make a statement degrading someones beliefs, whether political or religious, they will take offense to it. I mean, due to the fact that I am open minded to both topics, I take offense to neither. Sometimes I may answer a question as a liberal, sometimes as a conservative. Likewise, if you make fun of my religion, I can take it as a joke. People just take things too seriously. They don't know how to laugh.

This isn't a one-way street, buddy. I see plenty more conservative and religious questions being asked! To answer your question, though, both make me angry because they're tied together and have been for a loooong time. Thing is, I actually like to participate in politics, so I guess religion pisses me off more.

Tough choice. It depends on how they're arguing their points and how the questions are phrased. The ones that have words like ALL in them are aggravating. But many times, there's an element of a real question in there, so I try to answer that part.

I think religion does . People seem to take it more to heart because of being accustomed to the practice while it seems that most people now don't really care much for what side wins . I personally do get more angry with politics with people such as Rumsfeld .

Ill say politics. In my opinion. I am a democrat and have never said anything hateful to anyone, who is in a different party. BUT they have calle dme mean hateful things. When it comes to religion, I am open to what others beleive and will listen to there reasoning. We all have a right to believe what we want right?

They both are. It is human nature to argue about religion and politics. The problem is when each group thinks they are absolutely right and will not be open to new ideas which just might compromise their position.

Religion...
not God, or Jesus, or the teaching they incite, but the fanaticism religion brings to people.
We should keep God but destroy religion... it is the downfall of our modern world and has a cult mentality that abuses the real teaching of Christianity, Islamd, Judaism or any of the other faiths.
Without Religion, politics wouldn't be so difficult.
