(Hint: don't debate me on Politics or Religion a ton, and you'll be my friend!)

So, what are your political and religious views? Just curious, I won't argue with you (and I hope no one else will), but if you feel comfortable I'm kinda interested in what your views are now that you've said not to debate with you on it hehe.

Religion: Atheist

Political: Conservative

That's an interesting combination. So as an atheist, are you socially conservative as well, or more like a libertarian (fiscally/governmentally conservative, but pro gay rights/choice/marijuana legalization)?

Not the marijuana legalization, but pretty much... I think that what you do is your business... I may not agree with what you do, but I won't stop you from things that are not seen as ethically wrong.

What's your definition of ethically wrong? And what do you think about politicians whose source of ethics come from religious ideas and push for things like pro-life and illegalization of samesex marriage because of religious doctrine? Sorry if I seem like I'm giving you the third degree here and also hijacking the thread, but I've never met an atheistic conservative lol (I live in a pretty blue state)

Hi pimathbrainiac! We've already met and spoken a bit. I'm sure you'll enjoy it here.

Also, those peanuts are raw I think...so you can boil them OR roast them! Win-win

It depends on what is meant by conservative. I tend to be conservative in that I favor small government and minimalistic government spending. However I am pro same sex marriage and I wouldn't care if marijuana was legalized. Abortion is a bit more difficult subject, as there are many different things to consider. I am also an atheist, so I suppose I could be described as an atheist who is politically conservative. However, my political views don't necessarily fall on one side or the other, so I guess you could say they are mixed (as I think many people are). I don't necessarily think atheistic religion and conservative political view are an odd combination, as long as you ignore the religious aspect that many seem to attach to being conservative. Politics is largely that, and while some may say they are x or y religion, many I'm sure are casually religious and just use the affiliation in accordance with how they think it will best benefit their political standing.

BTW... ethically wrong is like true crimes: vandalism and up

And fiscally/gov't conservative... more like a libertarian

So yeah, that's me

Of course:
