I wouldn't call a priest who teaches theology at the finest prep schools a casual Christian.

If it floats your boat.
There's a reason that Jesus said you should always pray alone in private.

There’s a vast difference between being spiritual and being “religious”. A chasm as wide as the earth.

"You are gods" - Jesus of Nazareth
We aren't talking being
You started with saying people who believe in religions are idiots basically, it's all smoke and glass what have you. All I'm saying is that we know that's not true, well at least the part of them all being idiots. I am not so quick to or arrogant enough to say that billions of people are wrong because I don't believe in it. That is just so disrespectful. How many scientists that you probably have great respect for are religious?

I have been ready my entire life to see God perform a single damned miracle. I’m talking the real deal. Presto chango. Never seen it. Been in a lot of situations from good to bad and watched as devout believers begged and didn’t get shit. So yeah anybody believing in a Sky Daddy like the Bible promises is pretty dense or their imagination is extremely limited. Or both.

Nobody needs God to be in touch with nature, the earth or their environment. Then you don’t have to ask him why He’s killing so many species off while fucking up the climate.

Here is my 2 cents on religion, it is just the earliest form of government we have. Back when people might not see another human for years outside of their families and maybe a trading partner here and there, it makes sense to tell people if they murder their neighbor and rape his wife, god will see it and punish you (because you know they didn't have cops to come deal with it).
People are people, mostly good, but tend to be assholes a small percentage of the time to varying degrees of severity or assholeness. Being born into any particular religion and sticking to it or breaking off and no longer believing won't change how you react in those situations your being an asshole.

Again I don't believe this, but it would be very easy to say everything around us is that miracle. The whole Fermi paradox.

Abortion has always been around. Better off in a hospital than risk the life of the mother.

Well I’ve been with untold numbers as they died. Many many more struck by illness or maimed in every way possible. Never saw a miracle. I’ve watched people die because they failed the wallet biopsy. No miracles. I’ll wait for you to show me one since you have obviously been privy to some.
I've asked a few priests exactly how much of the bible they take literally and they told me not much. They said that wasn't the point. Now I am not a religious person so I don't debate religion, but I was curious so I asked and I got my answers at least as far as those individuals.
Of course. But an abortion is a failure of some aspect of society. Not enough people are willing to meet those failings head-on, they are more concerned about debating that life isn't life so they don't have to accept that we do indeed kill babies.

“The plans for the operation were changed at the last minute because of news reports that had tipped off immigrant communities about what to expect, according to several current and former Department of Homeland Security officials. Instead of a large simultaneous sweep, the authorities created a secondary plan for a smaller and more diffuse scale of apprehensions to roll out over roughly a week. Individual ICE field offices were given the discretion to decide when to begin, one official said
Geez. I wonder who tweeted the days they would be coming and in what cities? Who leaked it? Then they release the details of the follow up plan.
