“I wonder about alot of things, but I usually wonder along the analytical lines.”

You can’t wonder along analytical lines. You can think and research and try to develop conclusions along analytical lines. But you don’t seem to be doing any of that. You just seem to be unskeptically reading extremely unreliable sources (an email floating around the internet has taken us to new heights of unreliability, and the First Post online magazine is only a notch or two above that) and wondering things that a tiny bit of analysis (or common sense, for that matter) will show to be ridiculous.

As far as an atheist marrying a radical muslim, you leave out the “radical” part some of the time when you discuss it. There’s a huge difference between a person who is muslim only because he is required to be one by the state (there are countries where citizens are required to be muslims) and one who would kill babies in the name of allah because he follows the radical strain of islam. I can’t speak for all atheists, but I think that you’d be hard pressed to find a single one who’d marry a radical muslim. And, of course a radical muslim would never marry an atheist. As the atheist is, to him, an infidel, the radical muslim would want to murder the atheist. (I actually laughed when I read arraya’s post, because it’s a pretty funny joke that I think he made intentionally. You think of a radical muslim married to an atheist, and the first thing you think is that the radical muslim want to murder an infidel, not marry one. But arraya turns it around and says that an atheist wouldn’t marry a radical muslim.)

“ I wonder if any of it is true or not. I wonder if we, as Americans in a country created as ‘one nation under GOD’, are having the wool pulled over our eyes.”

You’re having the wool pulled over your eyes by someone who knows that there are unskeptical, unanalytical people out there who can be made to wonder about a candidate they (the writers of the email) don’t like simply by spewing false information.

calysmeow, you read something, and you have no idea whether it’s true. And yet it makes you wonder. Why does it make you wonder? And what does it make you wonder?

When you read the Weekly World News, do you wonder whether Brad and Angelina really gave birth to a half unicorn half apeman baby?

Think about that for a moment; and then ask yourself whether you would be willing to vote for a Catholic…

Well, obviously the vast majority of the electorate is religious, and therefore themselves have beliefs as absurd as any listed above. Once you take physics out of it and believe in the supernatural, any belief is as realistic or likely as any other.

Perhaps I should be able to tell by the context what “Catholicism’s theological underpinnings are sound, unlike Mormonism’s” means. But since it seems to be at the crux of your argument, I’d prefer to ask exactly what you mean by that rather than to assume.
