What is your religion and fiscal politics?

38 Comments

I am not asking about social politics like same-sex marriage or abortion, I am asking about things like taxes, unions, etc. to see if there is a correlation between fiscal politics and religion. Also, I am aware that atheism is not a religion, but it's still a religious belief. And please don't complain about the different sects of Protestant Christianity not having their own options. If I gave them their own options, I'd have to do the same for all the Islamic sects, different kinds of Wicca, etc, and I would be at my computer all day.

    I find it odd that, at this point, the only thumbs up go to atheists...

    I am spiritual, not religious. But for sake of argument, my beliefs most closely resemble that of Native American Spirituality with a dash of Taoism, a binder of Buddhism, a pinch of Pagan, and a shake of Shamanism for good measure. Probably several shakes, Shamans do like their rattles.

    And I am mostly moderate, sometimes liberal, and occasionally conservative.

    What's the issue we're talking about?

      A small minority of them exist, these muslims reject jihad, sharia and accept liberal values.

      But the vast majority of muslims adhere to mainstream Islamic doctrine which is an extremist, hateful ideology which incites muslims to forcibly convert, subjugate or eradicate all non-muslims.

      Not to mention their hatred of women, gays, jews, dogs, music, alcohol, pork and all non-Islamic culture, as well as our freedoms/rights.

      No ideology in history has been as dangerous to humanity as Islam or has caused as much death (270 million people killed) and destruction (57 nations Islamified and counting). It needs to be eliminated.

          Dogs, like pigs are considered 'unclean' to muslims.

          In reality it is simply the arbitrary tastes and 'distastes' of the pedophile terrorist prophet that this personality/death cult Islam is modeled after, Mohammad.

          Muslims consider Mohammad to be 'the perfect man' who had the 'most beautiful pattern of conduct.' Muslims try to emulate him in every way.

          So ya if muslims ever take over, say bye to dogs, music and basically anything that makes life wonderful and meaningful.

          Wherever Islam has spread it has lead to the destruction of other cultures and civilizations and left behind a hellhole and wasteland full of hate, violence, rape, misery, war and poverty, etc and it's coming to a neighborhood near you.

              LOL! its not true! actually animals are considered very sacred ceatures which are equal to humans value. I've heard from a friend before that there's a hadith stating that a sinful man was instantly sent to heaven simply because he took care of a homeless dog, gave him shelter and gave him water to drink. so yeah, dont believe anything u read from the internet :P

            No I was just wondering why. I know the reason for the Alcohol and pork and everything else but I just do not understand why they would hate dogs. If you think about it dogs are very useful. They guard your house and protect you. They are lovable and often very playful. I do not see why a whole culture would shun dogs.

    Protestant Christian/I don't know.

    The latter part isn't a cop out. But if a gun were put to my head and I were forced to answer, I would probably say syncretic socialist.

    "A wha-whaa?"

    Basically someone who believes in what has been called the idea of a "Sovereign Democracy".

    But even then my beliefs aren't left or right so much as north and south. They go in directions I've never seen anyone speak about.

    And by extension, I have nothing in common with the socialists outside of economic principles.

    Atheist; somewhere between the centre and the left on fiscal politics (although liberal on social politics).

    I'm not which religion I consider myself, so I guess "Other".
    Politically, I consider myself a centrist.

    Atheist-Centrist. Pro-choice, equality for gays/women/minorities, believe in universal healthcare and a social safety-net, mix of capitalism-socialism economy.

    Strong on defense, believe in destroying those who threaten our civilization, including fascist totalitarian movements like Nazism, Islam and Communism as well as radical left/right movements.

    I think some nationalism is healthy for any state-one should be proud of being in a country that grants rights/freedoms and a quality of life that other nations don't.

    By the way, atheism is a religious belief in the same way an aunicornist is. That is the opposite, its a lack of religious belief, get your terminology straight.

    Religious types seem to think we share the same mental illness (delusion) they have and atheism is a belief as well.

    In fact atheism has the same roots as science, which is rationalism and empiricism. You claim there's a god, fine show me the hard irrefutable evidence. Have none? Then your god does not exist, period.

    I'm a christian (not chatholic nor protestant).
    Politically, It really depends on the issue. I would never make a political choice according to what's the liberal or the consevative choice.

    All in all i'm in the european middle. I think that's the American left.
