See it depends what point im making.
Quoting an ocean city Tshirt shop to support my point on what the average person thinks is not unreasonable. If I were quoting it on something scientific, it would only be ok if the tshirt was peer reviewed...
But of course you can't see the difference.
I think I would need a peer reviewed study to sway you about what I ate for breakfast. I don't think you'd take my word for it that it was chex mix in the car on the way to work....

And plenty don't (most actually). And plenty of atheists want to.

What would concern me is that faith being used to create policy.
Why?
Why does HOW somebody came to a policy position matter, what should matter is what is best for the country (not each person voting, which is ACTUALLY how many people vote - self interest).

I wouldn't call myself a Taoist, as in I practice Taoism, but I have been referring to the Tao Te Ching for 30 years now as a resource for living. My mom was a practicing buddhist so there was some family influence of eastern religious thought.

Nope eastern religions aren't judgemental like western religions. Hard to fathom, huh?
