I've always had a bit of a problem with organized religion. Considering some of the shenanigans that have gone on lately that hasnt improved.

I wouldnt call myself an atheist, but I wouldnt count on seeing me in church anytime soon and I dont check in with any christian morals associations on a regular basis.

That having been said, I live by a code of conduct and morals that I feel are appropriate. I give my best effort to let people know what to expect from me and then deliver on those expectations. I dont do anything that I feel will adversely affect someone else unless not doing something will create a greater adverse affect. And I try to not tell someone else how their morals should be.

There are two kinds of people in the world. Those that want to do their own thing as long as they're not bothing someone else and those who feel like they've got the secret recipe for how to live or the right morals and want everyone else to follow their lead. The former would like to hit the latter in the face with a shovel. The latter doesnt understand why everyone wont accept their obviously correct perspective, but forgives the former for that whole shovel thing and will continue to try to convince.

Biggest bible thumper I ever dated dragged me off to church, gasped when I used foul language and read the bible quite regularly. She told me there would be no premarital sex at all, which turned out to be no premarital sex unless we'd gone out on six dates. After I split up with her she broke up another couples marriage because she wanted the guy.

Little problem there with that whole christian morals thing.

I'm going to throw a little ice on that whole Islam suggestion that they just dont like our moral code. I'm sure thats a part of it...but my guess is there are a handful of wealthy well connected guys who would like america out of their business and their backyard. They seek out and culture a few types that here in america we'd probably eventually get to know as 'serial killers'. Those guys prey on the weak minded amongst them who can be wound up on that whole 'bad american morals' thing to the point where they'll strap on some dynamite. I'll bet that left to their own devices, the average rank and file muslim might protest the incursion of american funny business into their culture. None of them would ever board a plane with a box cutter and a plan...
