In your example, the law took action - arresting those who infringed on the rights of others. That is quite appropriate. Note also that the Catholics haven't killed anyone over the blasphemy. Catholics haven't killed anyone over blasphemy? Not much of a student of history, hey, John? Learn to read, then learn to quote. You seem to take great pleasure in putting your ignorance on display. History is a continuum. Islam did not grow by the word it grew by the sword. You mean, like christianity in south and central america? You should do some research before you stick your foot in your mouth, again. Check out the history of the Iberian peninsula before using them as an example for your argument. Are you referring to the Spanish Inquisition, a long period of religious horror inflicted by the Catholic Spaniards on some of the peoples of Europe and Central and South America? :) European history is resplendent with examples of blood spilled over the efforts of "christians" to find the one true faith. |

What is scary is that CBN has convinced you that this is so. The truth is: http://digitaljournal.com/article/311577 In your example, the law took action - arresting those who infringed on the rights of others. That is quite appropriate. Note also that the Catholics haven't killed anyone over the blasphemy. A statement like, "Note also that the Catholics haven't killed anyone over the blasphemy, " calls for no response. You and Harry keep missing the word 'the'. Perhaps this will help you both: DEFINITE ARTICLE THE Articles in English are invariable. That is, they do not change according to the gender or number of the noun they refer to, e.g. the boy, the woman, the children 'The' is used: 1. to refer to something which has already been mentioned. Example: An elephant and a mouse fell in love. The mouse loved the elephant's long trunk, and the elephant loved the mouse's tiny nose. |

Atheism is a religion, and it's getting shoved down my kids throats every day... So is the Church of Al Gore... Atheism is not a religion. Atheism is the absence of religion. D'oh. Bill Maher had a great essay on the subject. You should read it because it describes your anti-intellectual approach to life's mysteries to a tee: And finally, New Rule: Until someone claims to see Christopher Hitchens' face in a tree stump, *idiots* must stop claiming that atheism is a religion. There's one little difference. Religion is defined as the belief in and worship of a super-human, controlling power. And atheism is…precisely not that. Got it? Atheism is a religion like abstinence is a sex position. Now…believe it or not, I don't really enjoy talking about religion all the time. In fact, not only is atheism not a religion, it's not even my hobby. And that's the best thing about being an atheist. It requires so little of your time. But, there is a growing trend in this country that needs to be called out. And that is to label any evidence-based belief a religion. Many conservatives now say that belief in manmade climate change is a religion, and Darwinism is a religion. And of course, atheism, the total lack of religion, is somehow a religion, too, according to the always reliable "Encyclopedia Moronica." Now, it's a dodge, of course, straight out of the grand intellectual tradition of "I know you are, but what am I?" It's a way of saying, "Hey, we all believe in some sort of faith-based malarkey, so let's call it a push." No. No, no, no, no. no. It's not fair that people who can't defend their own nonsense get to create a fake, fair-and-balanced argument, the way they do in asserting that evolution and creationism are equally valid. I'm not saying that atheists are perfect thinkers. Everyone has blind spots. I'm sure there are atheists who think ponytails look good on a man. And pineapple belongs on a pizza. And Ayn Rand was an important thinker. But, when it comes to religion, we're not two sides of the same coin. And you don't get to put your un-reason up on the same shelf with my reason. Your stuff has to go over there on the shelf with Zeus and Thor and the Kraken. With the stuff that is not evidence-based, stuff that religious people never change their mind about, no matter what happens. That's not atheism. I'm open to anything for which there's evidence. Show me a god and I will believe in him. If Jesus Christ comes down from the sky during the halftime show of this Sunday's Super Bowl and turns all the nachos into loaves and fishes, well, I'll think two things. First, how dare he interrupt Madonna; she is going to be ****ed! And two, oh, look at that, I was wrong; there he is. My bad. Praise the Lord. But, that's not going to happen. And, short of that, if you still insist atheism is a religion, then it's only fair that we get to do all the loony stuff that you get to do. And I'm going to start tonight by un-baptizing Mitt Romney's dead father-in-law. [slide shown of Edward Davies] Yes, in case you didn't hear, it was discovered last week that Edward Davies, Ann Romney's father, an enthusiastically anti-religious scientist who called organized faith "hogwash," was posthumously baptized in the Mormon tradition, 14 months after he died. They tried to do it sooner, but he wouldn't stop spinning in his grave. So, here then, is history's first un-baptism ceremony right now. [he produces framed photo of Edward Davies] [he puts on wizard’s hat and produces a wand and candle] For the late Edward Davies. [Lights go out, church music heard] Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in the presence of math, gravity, evolution and electricity…to honor Brother Edward, and to send the powers of SEAL Team 666 to rescue him from Planet Kolob so that he may spend eternity with the kind of free-thinkers he chose to hang out with on earth. So, by the power granted to me by the Blair Witch. Schlemiel, Schlimazel, e pluribus mumbo-jumbo! Expecto-Petronum, Sussudio, Yo Mama…I call upon the Mormon spirits to leave your body the f**k alone! Brother Edward, in this world, you had to put up with Mitt Romney. You've suffered enough! |

Read the declaration of independence again. We were founded with an acknowledgment of God's grace and that everyone could practice their religion without interference by others. Contrary to popular belief there is not separation of church and state. Bull****! Ever hear of this: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof" And if you really want to delve into the matter, go he http://www.infidels.org/library/mode...uotations.html You did read the first word didn't you. Oh, I see, you don't care anything about the rest of what our founding father's thought, you just want to cherry pick what is in one document. Got it. You whining about others cherry picking is priceless. What have I cherry picked about? Second hand smoke? I've asked you and Scotty many times to post some peer reviewed articles that prove that second hand smoke is not harmful to those who inhale it. |

"We were put on this Earth as creatures of God to have dominion over the Earth." "The radical feminists succeeded in undermining the traditional family and convincing women that professional accomplishments are the key to happiness." This is not a political war at all. This is not a cultural war. This is a spiritual war." http://santorumexposed.com/?p=710 The country has fallen apart with the "progressives" pushing that the nuclear family is not as important as the community or society. Say what you want but, all of our cultural problems have occurred since the family was yanked apart by the social dogooders. Hooo boy...... That is a strong argument. Your statement was so unhinged and out there that there is no argument. |

Ask your Muslim friend if he will criticize the terrorists actions. He has a Muslim friend... !? LOL! What's wrong with having a Muslim friend? Actually, it puts me in a better place, because *I* KNOW what they think and feel, you only think what FOX tells you to think. Do you have a black friend too? Does your friendship with a black person confer upon you knowledge about what they think and feel too. You argument is falling apart on many levels. I have many friends of different races, religions and backgrounds. And yes, we DO talk about important issues, and I can go to them and ask questions. That's what separates me from the far right, I don't just let FOX tell me what to think, I go and research and learn. |

Of course you don't. FOX told you not to. |
