    In a situation where we denied you GPS, things like jamming and missiles wouldn't be too far off.

        Just out of curiosity - how will you guide your missilles if your gps system is jammed ?
        With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

                Well that is where it garners its political support: as a statement of independence from the US. Seem to be turning into more of an emberassment though.

                For those who aspire to live in a high cost, high tax, big government place, our nation and the world offers plenty of options. Vermont, Canada and Venezuela all offer you the opportunity to live in the socialist, big government paradise you long for. –Senator Rubio
