Separation of Chruch and State
Personally, I'd like to see the State separated from ANYTHING.

By your definition (and by mine) I would postulate that there are very few humanists and many agnostics.

If the JP is paid with my tax money, it IS my business; especially if the laws of my state do not authorize his actions.If the justice of the peace or another church wants to wed-same sex couples, couples comprised of legally consenting adults, it’s none of your business, go find something else to do …
Doesn’t fly.... if you are going to have sex, here is some information to help you make informed choices." I would prefer zero opinion either way from a teacher on the subject for my kids if I ever have any.
Can we have a big AMEN for the brother? !!!Can I swear on Atlas Shrugged in a court of law?
It’s deeper than that, I think. Religious tolerance IS a religious belief, in itself. The idea that religion is only between a man & his God, is a religious belief (and one not at all typical of most religions throughout history.) Most of humanity’s religions have been wildly intolerant, repressive, and expansionist. And all such are now officially repressed in the USA. (Thank … whoever.) Only certain religions are free to practice – the civilized, sanitized ones, endorsed by the government.In some very real sense you're right, a certain philosophy has long since won out in this country--the philosophy holds that religious matters should be handled privately without the govt endorsing or espousing any particular view or faith.
Weak, weak.…in that they also claim to know that no god exists, yet they cannot prove their claims either...
Naw. A Barrett .50. In white DuraCoat.Uh oh, we're gettig eyeballed by the 'gun topic' purists...quick, if Saint George was personified as a firearm, what would he be? I'd say a Remington 700 in 30-06 with a walnut monte-carlo stock.

Freshman Philosophy should have cured that one. I cannot prove that you are not a Leprechaun, or the Antichrist, but I can know that there is no evidence for it, and therefore no logical reason to believe it.

God is the one who chooses our rulers

Hell, if God did choose our rulers, I'd be pretty pissed off at him, given the nature of at least some of them (including, for my family, the man, the myth, the metaphor, live and in person, Adolf Hitler).
I'm not saying I believe that, but it's an interesting point of view none the less.
Humanism is the denial of the Creator, and of any Power greater than mankind. In my opinion, it is the absolute pinnacle of human arrogance.
Um sorry, No. Sexual reproduction. It's what allows lifeforms to have differing characteristics from their parents. "natural selection" you mean the antiquated "survival of the fittest" concept? Sounds like you need a refresher on modern evolutionary theory, and I'm not talking about internet "research".
It's been a while since AP Biology in 10th grade (I got a 4 on the test), but my recollection is that you're wrong.Sexual reproduction only allows the species to continue on.

if their is no mutation, there is no evolution, and if there is no natural selection, there is no need for mutation
The thing is, so do those who do evolution research. Current work in evolution accounts for "punctuated equilibrium," not Darwin's gradual change hypothesis.
how does that new species procreate
We did study evolution in Geology.
What I was saying was that mutation is essential to evolution, it's a basic tenet of evolution, and I was trying to prove that you need natural selection to provide a need for mutation.
