Unfortunately for the duo and fortunately for society, a conviction in Colorado of sexual assault and conspiracy to engage in such dictate mandatory/minimum sentences and lifetime supervision as a registered sex offenders.

So I get it, when a male gropes another male it's just a game. When a male gropes a female it's sexual assault. :wf

Your hate for anything Christian comes thru loud and clear. Preaching tolerence by being intolerant. Gotta love the hypocrisy!

Here is what I don't understand Dell, you accuse Danzig of hating "anything Christian" because she points out specific facts about so-called "Christian" ideology that quite frankly deviates from mainstream Christianity...radical viewpoints that dwell on a narrow interpretation of a specific passage (interestingly usually from the Old Testament) while ignoring the teachings of Christ (you know, stuff like love, forgiveness, equality, tolerance of others etc). Often times I get confused by the religious right's focus on the Old Testament (understandable for Jewish folks but Christians??). We are very critical of Islamic fundamentalists but radical "Christians" are admired for their steadfast belief that words in a 2000 year old book written by men is somehow the indisputable truth word for word...stone any adulterers lately?

Radicalized Christianity is just as twisted as radicalized Islam. I was raised a Catholic as a kid and this form of Christianity in no way whatsoever resembles the tolerance that I was taught.

You're right. Putting Moses in a text book or denying a gay wedding pizza and cake is the same thing as beheading someone or flying planes into buildings.

Hate is hate but go right ahead and compare something minor vs something catastrophic in a lame ****ing attempt to support your argument cause we are all dumb asses and can't see that bullshit tactic.

You were the one making comparisons.

And I will continue if every radical christian and radical muslim were to suddenly vanish to their appropriate Valhalla the world would be a better place. Now excuse me while I bust my IPAD over my knee as I was just DQ'd on an 11-1 at Keeneland

Thanks somer.

I have no issue with christianity. I do have issues with those who are trying to tear down the separation of church and state, and those who twist jesus' teachings of love to justify hatred and discrimination. And I certainly do not support inequality, like that woman is espousing. She has a right to her opinion, I have the right to disagree.

Imagine a world where radicalized Islamism imitated radicalized Christianity in that instead of killing gays they refused them cake and pizza at their weddings. And instead of beating/killing/castrating their daughters for dating/driving and just being women, they protested them having abortions!

What a wonderful world it could be!

Oh, oh look a squirrel.

Radicalized Christians blow up buildings and kill people just like radicalized Islamics do..the key word is "radicalized"....Extremes exist in all of society..But you have to draw the line at guilt by association..unless you're a Christian

:tro:

Altho i have to think woden wouldnt have them.

I fail to understand how 'we arent as bad as the other guy' is a valid excuse for people to use to explain that their hate is legit. It is amazing that some think being the lesser evil is ok...its still evil. There are some in this country who want a theocracy...who want to keep those deemed less equal in an inferior position, who actually think the falsehood of this country being founded for christians only is a truth. They believe some are more equal than others, that those discriminated against need to put it in perspective as tom cotton said, as tho the constitution is only here to protect the majority. In fact, it is to protect the minority from the tyranny of the majority.
and i know some are rather limited in the amount of topics they can ponder...doesnt mean everyone is so limited.

I find it amazing and a bit asinine that some people can't understand that some people don't want to participate in gay weddings because of religious convictions not because of hate or being evil, and some others are against abortion for the same reason, not because they hate women.

Protesters standing outside an abortion clinic with signs aren't even in the same hemisphere as those who bomb the clinics or attempt harm to its workers just as bakers and pizza makers who refuse servicing a gay wedding aren't in the same ballpark as those who go out gay bashing.

Shoplifting and murder are not the same even though they are both crimes.

I've always found it disingenuous that some are able to stick their collective heads in the sand ignoring and thus allowing truly evil acts preferring to focus on incidentals.

If I was to get married and wanted pulled pork sandwiches I would expect a Muslim caterer to deny me service not because of hate in his heart but rather the religious doctrine he has in his heart.

Now if he beheads me because of it, it's out of hate.

You mean like bombing abortion clinics or shooting doctors? Looks like radicalized Islam is not so different than radicalized Christianity. Pretty sure the term radical is a dead give away.

http://www.salon.com/2013/08/03/the_...orism_partner/

I agree with you.

That said, as I pointed out Christians protesting abortion clinics using signs or their votes aren't radical. Just as the Muslim baker who refuses to cook pork isn't radical.

However the ten events pointed out by Salon of radical Christianity and White Supremacy over a period of 28 YEARS pale in comparison to events I could site of radical Islamism occurring over the past 28 MONTHS.

BTW are Muslims/Christians who castrate their women, or kill their women to save honor, or beat their women for driving, or throw gays off roofs, or stone gays in a public square or call for the annihilation of Israel, radical or is it just cultural?

So you argument has now morphed into one side is worse than the other? By going there you are implicitly condoning the actions of one side. Be it 1 event or 100 events I despise both.

I am condoning no such thing as they are all evil actions. Just pointing out one seems engaged in far more and more recent evil actions than the other.

There was a murder in my town about 25 years ago and there have been 44 murders in Milwaukee so far this year. Should the police focus on my town equally as they do with Milwaukee?

Is the crowd watching and doing nothing radical?

Dell, I share your revulsion regarding the crimes against human decency whenever they occur in other countries, in other cultures....I'm sure Danzig and others feel the same. There is so much ugliness, so many horrors in this world of ours. The issue though is that we live in America, and abuses here be they relatively minor when compared to those elsewhere in the world are still affronts to basic fairness and equality. The reality is that as citizens of the U.S. there is little we can do compared to our responsibility to demand change here. I will never shrink from condemning inhuman behavior wherever it occurs, but I feel strongly that we must look to solve our own problems first. Hypocrisy is defined in the dictionary as "a pretending to be what one is not, or to feel what one does not feel; esp., a pretense of virtue, piety etc." It's way to easy to focus on the shortcomings (no matter how vile) of others while using same to ignore our own. Yes, we must always decry the actions of monsters throughout the world but at the same time we must do everything possible to ensure equality here.

This woman is wacked, pure and simple! We laugh at some weirdo who proclaims that a spaceship is coming to rescue "true believers" prior to the end of the world, shake our heads when some insane narcissist commands his followers to drink poisoned Kool-ade but so called "Christians" take this flake seriously?! She might get some votes from Westboro Baptist but otherwise, she should be out of politics. We will always have a large population of squirrels in this country because we are teeming with nuts! :zz:

'obediance brings about his blessings'
whatever
as a poster i saw the other day said, the people who wrote the bible didn't know where the sun went at night, but we are supposed to believe and follow all that they wrote?

I have no argument with any of the world's "major" religions, especially those believing in a supreme being (witchcraft holds that all are paths to the divine). The problem is not in the belief system but in the blind acceptance of individual quotations often times themselves products of ignorance and superstition at the expense of the basic message. We don't stone folks to death in this country and decry other cultures for still doing so even though the bible can be read as commanding such action. Yet folks steadfastly hold to ancient beliefs of "morality" when it avoids acceptance of those different from self. Professionally I have dealt with many folks who exchanged an addiction to drugs or alcohol or sex for what can only be termed an addiction to fundamentalist religion. For them, they have merely exchanged one crutch for another and they are not alone. My point is that religion can be the cornerstone of one's life but it cannot be one's master demanding blind obedience at the expense of free will and thought.

:tro: again.
my cousin is one of those.
i like some of the messages in the bible, especially the ones about not throwing stones, not judging.
but, others think they're perfectly suited to doing just that. they also tend to ignore the part about 'whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers...'
too often people use religion as a tool to bludgeon others with. they use it to excuse violence, oppression, they use old teachings to deny people (typically these days women, back in the day it was the slaves here in this country) any education. centuries ago it was in europe, in the 1800's it was here, and currently it's mainly seen in islamic countries. hell, the phillipines, with rampant poverty and huge families, just recently legalized birth control-which the RCC fought tooth and nail.
it makes no sense to me.

'theories'

obviously the ouachita school superintendent doesn't know what that word means.

Nor do you.

Theory
def.
A supposition or a system of ideas intended to explain something.

Supposition
synonyms: belief, surmise, idea, notion, suspicion, conjecture, speculation, inference, theory, hypothesis, postulation, guess, feeling, hunch, assumption, presumption .

Here's one from Slate that makes the facepalm list.

http://www.slate.com/articles/news_a...ast_lives.html

Not getting into semantics, the issue when this debate comes up is what is appropriate to teach in a science class and what is an invasion of religious doctrine into academia. I have no problem if a school wants to offer a class teaching the theory of creationism but I do have a huge problem when evolution is discarded in a science class in favor of a religious belief which by definition is not subject to scientific scrutiny. If one believes that the Christian god created all including mankind that's one's right but it is a religious BELIEF not science.
