First, as a doctor I am constantly amazed at the miracle of living things. The incredible complexity of the mammalian body is beyond comprehension. This understanding leads me to a firm belief the universe was organized with such precision and balance there must be a higher being involved. So I believe in god.
Second, however when I look into the night sky and wrap my mind around the billions of galaxies each filled with billions of stars stretching back and forth through time to farthest reaches of our capacity to detect, it leads me to the conclusion that our little human species on our little planet in the outskirts of an average galaxy is nothing more than a freckle on a gnats ass in god's greater scheme of things.
Third, I have studied the history of the modern bible and am troubled with the the contradictions and left out gospels and mostly by Charlemagne's rewriting the greek and hebrew text into German, that was further interpreted into English. Each of the rewrites were performed under the oversight of repressive regimes in times of great social upheaval. Further, I find it difficult to accept the proposals of human self aggrandizement. In fact, most of the premises seem to set up a separation of the species into "us versus them" reductionism that has lead to more wars on this planet than any other cause. So I have a lot of difficulty with religions of any flavor.
Lastly, I am very fond of our constitution, and will fight and die to insure your right to develop a relationship with a creator being as you see fit. Our founding fathers would not have written the bill of rights the way they did if it were not to specifically describe a man's inalienable right to a private relationship with his maker. Why does this topic always have to break down into fear xenophobic cursing of our differences? Why not rejoice in the variety god in his infinite wisdom bestowed upon our sentient race, and fight together to protect FREEDOM?

A well armed citizenry offers FAR more protection from extremists than any central government attempt to stamp out an abstraction. Had the citizens on those planes been armed, 9/11 would never have happened.
We are spending over $1 trillion dollars a year maintaining our overseas empire while our borders bleed. We really need to bring our troops home as soon as possible. We may be needing them when China comes to foreclose.

I have traveled across the country side of China and have witnessed the poverty. But in the middle of all of that poverty is a growing cultural pride, and above that poverty is a vast and growing well educated middle class. Tourism in China is a booming industry that back in 97 was fueled mostly by foreigners. But when I returned in 07 the majority of tourists were Chinese! Chinese with disposable income and zero income tax. An average Chinese middle class is cab participate in local free markets and pays no taxes. The government is funded by ownership of all major industry.

Then let's talk about getting independent grand juries organized across this country!

This approach has been tried to no avail. Our servant government seems to think we have the right to complain but they don't have to respond. Kinda like king George's responses to the colonist in the 1760s.
