The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", sykesix asked the members: "What do you do if you arrive early at movie besides go to the snack bar?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

I will not vote for anyone who has a religious agenda, I don't care what party. Islamist, Xian nationalist, Zionist...

Zionist is not a religious agenda. It's a nationalist agenda. There are many Jews, mostly devoutly religious, who are anti Zionist. There are many Zionists who are not religious at all. You might be anti-Zionist, but don't mix it with religion. That's where the accusations of antisemitism become legitimate.

As for rejecting a religious agenda, where do you draw the line? Most politicians, regardless of party, proclaim their belief in god and using their religious beliefs as guidance. It's almost required to get elected. There has never been an American president who has declared himself to be non-religious although with some, particularly the latest, it is obvious fakery. So do you reject all of them?
