No one said that Jesus had any sort of position on taxes. But Republican economic policies enrich the already wealthy and harm the middle and working classes. I don't believe Jesus would favor laws that make the loves of the working poor even harder. If you think Jesus would support a platform...

Absolutely disgusting. That Uganda law is barbaric and evil.

A member of Congress isn't a "bureaucrat".

So? There's no need to be a social conservative to be a Christian. And economic conservatism is largely incompatible with Jesus's teachings.

Which is completely compatible with being faithful to the Creedal faith. There isn nothing in the Nicene Creed about gay people or reproductive choice. And it's also completely possible to be opposed to abortion morally but not supportive of legally banning access to it for people who do not...

Some adults may be confused. No good person is.

My premiums went down about $1,200 a year.

So two people eat normal food in normal portions. One of them works an office job where they sit 8 to 10 hours a day. Another works outside in a physically demanding job. The first one becomes overweight, the other remains fit. Neither of them is doing anything wrong, yet you would punish one...

He clearly doesn't respect the people who post here enough to actually converse with us. I can't believe anyone interacts with him.

Don't bother trying to reason.

We don't use it in our parish, but I believe they still use it for some services at St Paul's K Street in Washington. My parish priest summers in a part of the country where the local parish uses the 1928 BCP. I find the 1928 BCP kinda confusing, frankly. We've come a long way in laying out...

Yes. Which is a *PROBLEM*. A problem made worse when shrill monsters like Palin make statements in support of torture.

I don't mean it as a dig. Ignorant isn't a pejorative. But you have clearly shown over and over again that you do not understand the positions of liberals or our reasoning behind them. I don't see how you could possibly provide me with education, since you don't understand where I'm coming from...

Because it doesn't really work reliably, and it doesn't compel answers.

No, I'm not going to read a massively long article sent to me by an ignorant stranger on the Internet.

It doesn't matter "how people look at it." Torture is detestable and evil.

There certainly are. But it's far more pronounced on the right today than it was on the left. At times past, that was reversed (the 1970s, in particular).

If that "anything" includes torture, then that is a contemptible and evil thing to cheer.

Yeah, this is becoming a real problem in our country. Positions that used to be held by both parties -- public transit is good, clean air is good, universal access to health care is a goal -- are being abandoned by the "Tea Party" rightwing because if a liberal supports something it can't...

And I and many other liberals have roundly condemned those others, as well. In fact, torture is one of the major reasons that I abandoned the Republican Party. Comparing the holy sacrament of baptism to torture does offend me more than just saying that you support torture. Supporting torture...
