i'm not smart enough to pass judgment on what god is doing. i'm going to let god be god. all right? whatever he is doing, i'm not going to question it because, number one, it's insane to do that if you are a believer. if you are a believer, you know, there is a reason for everything in the universe. and if you are not a believer, then i think atheists could probably do better on this poll. so you both think the poll is kind of bogus and just provocative deal, is that what i'm getting. >> god has been pushed out of so many critical debates in our society right now about really tough issues that maybe that's why more and more people don't think that god's performance rating is good. >> bill: i'm a christian and i don't want to be an evangelist here. if everybody practiced judeo-christian tradition of loving your neighbor as yourself we would have a better world, correct? >> correct. thank you for agree with me. uh-oh. >> bill: i do that? >> i think so. >> bill: we discuss government intrusion in the family a number of ways. in portland oregon, a boy, 11 years old, hoover, was removed
