What is "self-righteous" about singing praises to one other than self? Does not compute. I think whatever discussion we might have had is over before it starts due to intolerance and faulty logic. Go in peace.
Before speaking, learn telling. And to tear magic from science is very dumb pupil-like.

trouble is, the burden of proof is on the "believers" and so those of us who don't believe should not be in any way affected by the beliefs of those who do when it comes to governanceFizmarble wrote:The martyrdom of many thousands suggest that some of the things you perceive to not exist, actually do exist and are worth dying for. Simply because you cannot see certain things, does not mean that they do not exist.

how the hell the Republicans can claim to be 'less government' yet feel they have the right to tell women what they can do with their bodies or who people can marry and not see the hippocracy is beyond me. In fact it totally infuriates me. How dare they. No, get these people the hell away from positions of power.
I think people have every right to believe whatever they like, but they have absolutely no right whatsoever to try and force others to do the same.
And on top of that, the Republicans and their anti-kindness and fuck the poor and underprivileged mentality are the least christian of the lot - they cynically use christianity as a means to their wicked ends, and if Christ were alive they would be the people he would be fighting against
